meet our founders

We’re Justin and Andrew, the couple behind This Gay Tee, proudly based in beautiful North Carolina. We launched this shop because we wanted to see more fun, Queer-centric apparel out in the world—clothes that celebrate who we are and let everyone wear their pride loud and proud. What started as a passion project for our own closets quickly grew into a mission to support the LGBTQ community and spread a little more joy, color, and inclusivity.

When we’re not working on new designs or packing up orders, you’ll probably find us outdoors—hiking, kayaking, and exploring North Carolina’s state parks with our dogs, Jupiter & Odin, who never miss an adventure. Our love for the outdoors inspires a lot of our creativity, and the pups keeps us grounded (and occasionally covered in mud).

Running This Gay Tee as a small, real-life shop means every order is personal to us. We’re not a faceless corporation—we’re two partners who care deeply about our community, and we’re grateful for every customer who chooses to support us. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a friend, we hope you find something here that makes you feel seen, celebrated, and proud.

Thanks for being part of our story and our community!
