It’s time to celebrate love, Pride month is here. As people across the country commemorate the LGTBQ+ community, it’s important to recognize the innovative businesses that bring unique perspectives to their industries and foster communities that celebrate diversity and authenticity. These brands are leaving their marks in both the social, economic, and ecological spheres. Jejune Magazine highlights pioneering Queer-owned brands that are changing the trajectory and paving the way for a more inclusive future.

The Colors of Pride

Happy Pride Month to all! Pride month celebrates the achievements of the LGBTQIA+ community while also serving as a memoir of the struggles of the community in securing civil rights and justice, both of the present and the past. Pride month also serves as an opportunity to help the LGBTQIA+ community through parades, working with organisations that support this cause, supporting small businesses owned by members of the community, and so on. This year, Jejune magazine has decided to be an ally by creating a list of LGBTQIA+ and Queer-owned businesses that you can support. Read on to know more!

Pain Behavior - Rising to the Top

During this time of Pride Month, we honor LGBTQ+ artists like Pain Behavior and their gifted musical abilities. Pain Behavior is a musician who creates songs with depth and meaning, as well as a grim edge. Pain Behavior recently released the song Heavy Light, which premiered on May 20th and is a moving tribute to both life and human connection. They also have several other songs, including Warrior, which, like its name, has a powerful story to tell. They discuss the sorrow as well as the inspiration of someone they once loved in a destructive way. Pain Behavior's commitment to pride doesn't stop there. They also took part in the annual Venice Pride event, where they performed and re-iterated their support. Pain Behavior is on the rise, and we're excited to see what they do next. Please read on to learn more about Pain Behavior and their musical path, as well as the inspiration and stories behind their songs, Heavy Light and Warrior, and their opinions on the importance of Venice pride.
