Hey Adventurer's—
Whew. It’s been a lot lately, but in all the best ways. We got a mountain of credibility really fast. Here’s a quick and filthy little update from the guts of the operation:
If you participated in the fundraiser thank you!
We had a lot of generosity wity our fundraiser, and while we didn't meet our goal every bit helped, and I think we're gonna make it! Donors- your custom tee's and swag are going out this weekend, Know we value you, we love you- and thank you for keeping the dream alive.
We’re now officially NGLCC Certified!
That’s right—Gay Men’s Field Guide is now the certified organic milk of gay business. Pasteurized, powerful, and ready to pour. This is huge for us in terms of grants, networking, and B2B legitimacy.
We joined Plexus, Cleveland’s LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce
The welcome’s been amazing. It’s the first time we’ve had a real seat at the queer business table, and we’re already starting to make waves.
We landed our first B2B account!
Yes, queen. It’s been a long grind, but we’ve cracked the seal on wholesale. First of many—we’re building something sustainable here.
New Website Incoming
Behind the curtain, we’re coding up an all-new HTML5 + CSS site on Wix Studio. It’s sleek, sexy, and fully editable. It’s not our front-burner right now, but you’ll be seeing it launch in the next few months. Big upgrade vibes.
Max and I marched in our first Pride Parade
I can’t lie—this one hit different. First Pride as a business, first Pride with Max trotting beside me in the heat, doing his little pug thing. It was emotional. We’ve come so far. And we’re just getting started.
Coming Up: Stonewall Columbus Pride + Volleyball with One Serve at a Time
We’ll be out there repping Gay Men’s Field Guide, slinging shirts, playing sober volleyball, and being our chaotic gay selves. Come say hi. Come be seen. We’re building community in real time.
That’s all for now. Stay weird, stay wild, and remember It's our month, show your pride.
