Our Story: Accessibility Comes First
When I built GayMensFieldGuide.com, I wasn’t trying to go viral—I was trying to survive. After a traumatic injury last winter and months of recovery, I found myself behind on bills and at a crossroads: let go of the work I love, or ask for help to keep it alive.
This limited-edition tee supports our next chapter. Every order funds an accessible, bilingual blog that centers queer voices—including blind, disabled, and formerly incarcerated folks—often left out of mainstream narratives.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, erased, or just plain tired of chasing representation, this shirt is for you. Thank you for helping me rebuild something honest, defiant, and inclusive.
Hey, this is Upton—just a quick heads-up that our GoFundMe is officially live, and we’ve got a new reward tier: donate $50 or more and grab the exclusive “I Supported the Guide” tee. Every shirt funded is a direct investment in Max and my next chapter. Please support us, the stories we tell and the inclusion we've always put forward by supporting the guide and picking up one of our accessability fundraiser tees today!

Our Story: Accessibility, Resilience & Pride
Last winter I broke my shoulder in a fall—and between medical bills and mounting rent, Gay Men’s Field Guide hit a critical crossroads. This June we’re still marching in the local Pride parades in Cleveland and Columbus, carrying our company banner and gathering stories of resilience. But I can’t do it without you.
Why your $50+ donation matters:
-
Keeping us on our feet. Your support covers overdue bills and lets me show up—camera in hand—to every Pride event, interview local activists, and bring back the voices our community craves.
-
Fueling fresh content. From livestreams on the parade route to in-depth camper interviews, these on-the-ground stories keep our blog vibrant and growing.
Built for blind and low-vision readers:
-
I never made a fuss about it, but providing real accessibility has always been core to this project. Gay Men’s Field Guide is fully screen-reader friendly, with alt text on every photo, ARIA labels, high-contrast layouts, and bilingual support.
-
This isn’t an afterthought—it’s what makes our travel memoirs and campsite guides available to everyone, regardless of ability.
When you wear the I Supported the Guide tee, you’re backing more than just a shirt—you’re standing with a community-first mission to uplift queer stories, loud and clear, for us all.
