It’s Pride Month, and millions of adults across the country will be celebrating and advocating for the dignity, equality, and visibility of LGBTQ+ people everywhere. But more and more young people are coming out as queer, and even more identify as allies or as members of queer families.
Save for a homemade sign and pint-sized flag, how can kids show their support for the movement? Thankfully, more and more retailers are producing kid-friendly pieces of Pride apparel, from socks to tees to tutus. Below, we run down 25 of our favorites perfect for all the tots who know that love is love, no matter what.
1. For baby’s first pride
What a momentous occasion — baby's first Pride!
This queer- and women-owned Etsy shop has the perfect outfit for your baby to wear if they’re accompanying you to a Pride march this year. With a snap-closure for easy diaper changes, this onesie dons a rainbow flag and the words “My First Pride!” on it. Coming in sizes 0 to 24 months, your baby will be the star of your local parade.

2. For the kid who supports trans rights
Trans kids need our support now more than ever.
Recently transgender kids’ rights have been put up for debate, putting a lot of young kids at risk of not receiving proper healthcare or support. Whether your child is trans, has trans friends, or just supports the movement, this shirt will send a clear message that you’re in support of trans kids.

3. For the dino-lover in your life
Everyone loves a good, supportive pun.
Featuring a dinosaur holding an inclusive Pride flag, this t-shirt has the pun “EqualiT-Rex” written on it. Such an adorable design for the toddler in your life. Have your kid show their support to the queer community with this quirky phrase.

4. For future tattoo artists
Shirts are great, but tattoos are more fun.
It’s a truth universally acknowledged: Kids love fake tattoos. That’s why we love these rainbow unicorn tattoos from Tattly. They’re not Pride-specific, but that’s cool: Repping subtly can be just as effective, assuming it comes with conversation. And if unicorns aren’t your kid’s thing, Tattly has a whole range of cool rainbow tattoos perfect for any Pride occasion.

5. For the kid with two dads
Two dads are better than one.
This classic baseball tee is great for any kid with two dads. Coming in a variety of gender-inclusive colors, this shirt is unisex-sized and wonderful for any toddler. Have your child flaunt their two dads proudly to the world!

6. For another kid with two dads
More dads equal more fun.
Maybe you know a kid with two dads and need the perfect gift for them. Well, we’ve got you covered! This adorable t-shirt also comes as a onesie for babies. With rainbow lettering that states “I love my dads,” this simple shirt makes a wonderful present.

Who doesn't love a good pair of light-up sandals?
Who doesn’t love a good pair of light-up shoes? These sandals not only light-up but also have a rainbow across the front. Perfect for Pride month and all summer long.
Get the Rainbow Light-Up Sandals at Carter's for $27
8. For the future activist
Get deep into the language of resistance.
Available as both a onesie and a T-shirt, this “gender is a drag” shirt is cool for a number of reasons. First, it’s a poignant message, and one that could lead to some interesting conversations with your kid—and with other families. Second, the company that makes the shirt, Otherwild, is a self-described “queer-identified woman-owned store,” so a purchase of this shirt not only supports a queer-friendly cause, but a queer-friendly business. Isn’t that what Pride is all about?

9. For the Spanish-speaking kid who knows what's up
El futuro es feminine.
Another Otherwild creation, this "el futuro es feminine" shirt translates to "the future is female." As the company explains, "'feminine' has two meanings [in Spanish], those being the one that indicates the sex of a person and the feminine essence of something or someone." They up the gender-neutrality by putting an "x" on the end so that anyone can wear these cute T-shirts with pride.
Get a Femininx shirt or onesie at Otherwild for $25
10. For the kid who cares about multiple issues
Some kids just have an activist spirit.
If your kid believes, as the popular yard signs say, that science is real, Black lives matter, no human is illegal, love is love, women’s rights are human rights, and that we should value kindness over everything, then they’re hopefully the future leaders of tomorrow. And, of course, there’s a T-shirt for them. This Etsy item boasts all the above statements, and is available in toddler, kids, and even adult sizes.

11. For the kid with two moms
More moms equals more fun.
A smartly designed tee that’s available in all sorts of gender neutral colors, this “Word To My Moms” tee is the perfect winking hip-hop reference that’ll get the adults at the Pride parade chuckling. Visitors to this store also report that the shirts are so soft, and that purchases arrive quickly, which is always a nice perk.

12. For another kid with two moms
Again, more moms equals more fun.
Another chic shirt from the same seller, “Two Moms Club” celebrates just that—having two amazing, loving moms who care for you. While this shirt is certainly Pride-appropriate, it can also be worn all year long, and is even available on a three-quarter sleeve baseball tee.

13. For the kid who loves SpaceX
Cute and cosmic? We love that!
Got a nerdy kid who also wants to shout out their pride? Lookhuman’s LGBTQ+ Planets shirt features the eight planets of our solar system (R.I.P. Pluto’s status), each of which boasts a different color scheme based on a different orientation. That makes it kind of a deep cut for the average person on the street, but for those in the know, it’s a great reference. As a bonus, this design also comes on a onesie.

14. For kids of queer parents
Even equality warriors need to sleep sometimes.
Carter’s is back in the Pride game this year with a sweet little set of rainbow jammies with the motto “Proud Of My Family,” complete with rainbow pants. Carter’s pajamas are always a solid choice for kiddo sleepwear, and being able to double down and get something cute and pro-equality makes this set a no-brainer.
Get Proud Of My Family jammies at Carter’s for $12
15. For the kid who loves everyone, no matter who they are
Fight for what’s right.
Over a dozen states have passed laws restricting the rights of transgender youth and transgender athletes. If your kid’s been affected by these laws or even if they just believe that trans rights are human rights, then this shirt could be a great way for them to speak out and let the world know how they feel.
Get a Trans Rights Are Human Rights shirt at Lookhuman for $15
16. For tiny tots with kind thoughts
This shirt’s buzzworthy.
Pride is for all ages, and that’s why we like this adorable bee tee from Lookhuman. Reading “You Beelong” and bearing a rainbow striped bee, it’s perfect for everyone from the tiniest of tots to the hippest of old people. It’s cute without being cloying, and it gets its message across with a little wink of adorableness.

17. For the fashionista
Flaunt your pride with your backpack!
Have your kid celebrate Pride Month in style with this fashionable rainbow backpack from Coach. This limited-edition bag is part of Coach’s Pride Collection for 2022, in partnership with the Hetrick-Martin Institute, Point Foundation and CenterLink Community of LGBTQ Centers to create nurturing environments where LGBTQ+ youth can prosper.

18. For budding botanists
Plants can be excellent allies.
An off the wall tee for an off the wall kid, Lookhuman’s “Plants against gender norms” is the perfect “huh?” shirt for anyone who loves questioning authority. It’s also perfect for kids who love to help in the garden, or who can get down with a good hike. As the listing says, “Plants don't give AF about your gender norms. They're beautiful in all their expressions!”

19. For the kid who writes their congressperson
For the kid who writes their congressperson.
It might not always feel like it—in fact, most of the time it doesn’t—but things are slowly, slowly changing for the better in terms of LGBTQ+ equality. Some lawmakers might be pushing back against the rising tide of change, but ultimately, we have to believe that, as this Free To Be Kids shirt says, “Love Will Always Win.”

20. For the child who’s proud of their family
Show your family pride all year long with this tee!
Whether you’ve got two moms, two dads, or some kind of LGBTQ+ family, this shirt is the perfect way for your kid to show their support loud and clear. Although it’s technically listed as a “boy’s” shirt, it’s just a t-shirt, so don’t feel like only boys can wear this. It’s perfect for all genders!

21. For the subtle supporter
This tee shows support to the community in a subtle manner.
With the rainbow and messaging, this shirt definitely shows support to the queer community. But it’s not as obvious as a shirt that says something like “I support gay rights”. So if you and your kid live in a conservative area or somewhere you don’t feel super comfortable wearing a very loud and proud Pride shirt, this is the perfect in-between shirt that still gets your message across.
Get the Pride Jersey Tee at Carter's for $8
22. For the growing kid with footwear flair
These socks grow with your kid.
Here’s a universal truth: Kids grow. And when kids grow, you inevitably need to buy them bigger clothes. This pair of Pride Socks seeks to alleviate that burden, at least somewhat.
These non-slip socks can be worn by kids from infancy until they’re about 5. According to the listing, the rainbow tube socks are about 10 inches long total, and will “be thigh-high for infants, over-the-knee for toddlers 1 to 3 years old, and knee-high for kids 3 to 5 years old.” They’ve also got little rubber hearts on the bottom that help kids grip.
Get a set of Rainbow Non-slip Socks at Pride Socks starting at $9
23. For a pride princess
Do they make these in adult sizes?
The perfect princess sundress for anyone with a flair for fashion, this Little Goodall dress boasts a rainbow bodice and cloud peplum. It’s perfectly pink, and even contains a petticoat to add a little oomph to the skirt’s volume. Available for kids from 1 to 9 years old, this dress would look sensational at any Pride event, any birthday party, or in any over-the-top playroom production of Cinderella.
Get an Over The Rainbow sundress at Maisonette for $85
24. For the jewelry mavens
How many pieces of flair can one kid wear?
For the kid who loves to accessorize, we recommend this three-piece rainbow bracelet set from Risa’s Pieces. It can be fully customized to feature whatever name or phrase the wearer wants, and is made to order when purchased. It’s like a friendship bracelet, but without the hard work.
Get a rainbow bracelet set at Maisonette for $36
25. For fans of RuPaul's Drag Race
You better work.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t include at least one item of clothing on this list from someone who’s appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Though only a few queens have made clothing both appropriate for and sized to fit kiddos, the ones that have gone the extra mile have done so with flair.
We’re particularly partial to Latrice Royale’s baby onesies, including the one that bears one of her catchphrases, “Chunky yet funky.” Perfect for edible little baby thighs and trips to RuPaul’s Drag Con, this onesie screams “I might be barely holding my own head up, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have taste.”
