Bold Type: Anti-Racist
Be the Bold Type.
These aren't just tees. They're what we stand for.
***
Say it with us: When we say Anti-Racist, we mean “working to abolish White Supremacy.”
In 1996, as part of the Training Committee for my AmeriCorps cohort, I brought the People’s Institute for Survival & Beyond to Minnesota to train us on what it means to be Anti-Racist. Since then, I have worked diligently to better understand the legal, cultural, and psychological tendrils of White Supremacy so I can better understand my own occupation in this cosmos & on this land. In doing so, I can find movements that do not continue perpetuating the long held traditions of White Supremacy Culture & instead walk pathways towards our collective liberation.

Queerly Complex selected Next Level 3600 t-shirts because of the way they fit our bodies and feel upon our skin. They end just below the waist, have fitted sleeves, and the body is straight with seams running down both sides. They are perfect for all kinds & sizes of bodies. PLUS! They are 100% combed ring-spun cotton, so they are soft to the touch and get softer with each wash.
Some washing & care instructions:
Queer Comfortwear is our armor as we go out into a world hostile towards Queerdos. It’s soft to the touch, bold on the eye, and hangs just a wee bit loose, which means it fits perfectly. When you put it on, you feel more at ease with who you are and able to say what you want, need, or desire to say. Queerly Complex Queer Comfortwear will become your absolute favorite apparel any time you just want to be you.
For John, Queer Comfortwear started as a black t-shirt, the one piece of apparel he’s worn every day for over three decades. It started with band tees, like Coil, Soft Cell, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Wearing them helped him find his people in 80s and 90s LA, people he’s still dear friends with today. John learned the simple black t-shirt is more than just a tee. It’s a canvas upon which you can broadcast a message that helps you find fellow Queerdos and our comrades.
Queer Comfortwear for Jason could be a dress, a hoodie, a pair of sweats or leggings, a cap, a blouse. It is any piece of apparel that can go from cooking in the kitchen to lounging in the park to dancing on the dancefloor and still feels like it belongs. Jason’s played with gender their whole adult life, so Queer Comfortwear is any item you adore because it adorns you in a way that helps you be who you want, need, and desire to be.
