Queer Comfortwear
When I was in high school, I volunteered for a Catholic mission organization that held retreats in prisons, jails, and juvenile halls in Minnesota. I was a peer counselor at one of their retreats in a juvenile detention facility. Seeing my peers, many of whom were Black, Indigenous, or Latino, and almost all were poor, locked up profoundly changed me. It was abundantly clear that the harm caused behind bars was punishing and not rehabilitating. And the work the Catholic mission organization was doing was further traumatizing my peers who were queer. I knew this because, while I wasn’t out yet, a handful of young folx came out to me during that retreat.
It’s now 30+ years later, and I’m more educated on the subject of the Prison Industrial Complex. One chant or protest slogan that cuts through the noise best for me is, “Prisons Are Torture.” It’s clear and concisely summarizes my own fundamental experience at 17. We must abolish all prisons, jails, and detention (juvenile and immigrant) facilities. They are sites of torture, and it's being done in our names.
Now, you can boldly, fashionably, and comfortably declare that you too believe “Prisons Are Torture” in this soft Jogger. When you wear it, you will definitely strike up conversations. It’s a great way to figure out who is, is not, or might be persuaded to become a comrade. And we need all the comrades we can get if we want to abolish prisons.

These joggers will be your absolute favorite. Once you slide into them, you won’t ever want to take them off. They have an elastic waistband with a drawstring, so you don’t have to worry about being too snug or too loose. They have a tapered leg with a cuffed ankle, and if you are above 6 feet you may want to buy a size larger. Pair them with our Pullover Hoodie and you’ll look fashionable lounging around the house all day, dancing into the wee hours, or just going for a stroll.
Product details:
We Queerdos deserve to feel comfortable and confident in our skin no matter our gender, sexuality, body size, disability, place of birth, family, race, or class. Queer Comfortwear is here to help us feel just that. With colorful designs that hold radical political messages, it 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 want to be you. And each pattern contains a coded message that only you (or other Queerdos) will know. So you can confidently wear your politics on your literal sleeve and stand up for justice wherever you are.
