Funded in UNDER AN HOUR? You GUYS!
over 7 years ago – Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 08:33:01 AM

Never in all our wildest dreams did we imagine this Kickstarter would fund in under an hour. I am so, so, excited, y'all. I literally let out a little scream when someone -- a couple people, actually -- messaged me to tell me that we'd hit goal that quickly.

So now what? 

Now we aim for our first stretch goal: 2 more pins unlock at $750, and we're almost there! 

... okay, we just hit our first stretch goal while I was typing this update. Ace and Pan Pride pins are unlocked as of now. Onward and upward to the $1K goal: a free sticker included with your order.

How fast can we get there?

Don't forget to share the Kickstarter on social media -- send us out on Facebook, on Twitter, everywhere! Help us make it happen!

Blowing Past Stretch Goals like WHAT

... or proof I might not be the person you want to trust with writing updates at 2:30 AM.

We are literally 2.25 hours in to this Kickstarter and we've unlocked four new pins & a sticker for every order. We're so close to unlocking our fourth stretch goal that I have this hope that we'll have hit it by the time I finish writing this update.

As of now, every order can pick from:

Rainbow, Trans, More Color, More Pride, Bisexual, Ace, Pansexual, Genderqueer, or Non-Binary pins. 

Multiple people have also chosen to back our Give One, Get One pins, which is really amazing to me -- thank you so much! I look forward to donating pins to The Attic in Philadelphia. The Attic is a fantastic youth center, and we got a lot of support there when our daughter came out -- we love them!

See, I should always write updates when we're close to a new stretch goal -- we just hit our fourth stretch goal while I was typing this! We just unlocked Aromantic and Intersex pins, so let's update that prior statement... 

As of now, every order can pick from: Rainbow, Trans, More Color, More Pride, Bisexual, Ace, Pansexual, Genderqueer, Intersex, Aromantic or Non-Binary pins!

Just a reminder that when we hit our Mystery Pins goal, the community will get to vote on which pins become available!

Sixth Stretch Goal Hit - Voting Closed, Results Revealed!
over 7 years ago – Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 08:31:26 AM

Two days in and we've hit our sixth stretch goal. Absolutely incredible. Y'all are the greatest.

Since we've hit that goal, we closed voting on the Mystery Pin Unlock. The results are in: Queer Pride (the purple variant) was the most popular by far, followed by Agender, and shortly behind that, Demisexual and Bear.  As we have hit both goals, all four of those pins are now available.

A few votes came in for 'Other,' and a couple of people in comments suggested the original Gilbert Baker flag colors: we've put that on our Design List for the NEXT unlock, which comes at $8K. There's a placeholder graphic there right now, because I actually need to design that pin!

Additionally, we've listened to your feedback, and we'll be adding a 'give one' option at checkout, for those of you who bought more than two pins, so that if you'd like to, you can purchase pins for donation in addition to your pledge. That's a simpler option than adding a ton more backer options for people to scroll through. 

With the pace we've been keeping, we've been discussing potential additional options for stretch goals, so here's where we ask you: what do YOU want to see as a stretch goal? An exclusive t-shirt or bag? More color variants on stickers? We can certainly come up with ideas, but we'd like to hear from you!

We Added An Option to Send a Pin To a Friend!

At the request of one of our wonderful backers, we've added an option for you to order a pin and have it sent anywhere in the world to anyone you like!  

Don't pay for us to ship the pin to you and then pay to ship it on to them, let us handle the fulfillment for you!

Look for the 'Raise a Fist for a Friend!' option and send your pride through the post.
