Collection: Theme - LGBTQ from the Gothic universe

19 products

You live as LGBTQ, you love Gothic – and you're looking for pieces that express both? In this category at EASURE, you'll find LGBTQ Pride combined with a dark, aesthetically pleasing Gothic lifestyle that doesn't hide your identity, but rather shines a spotlight on the shadows. While many brands quickly drop a Pride collection in June, LGBTQ Gothic fashion is an integral part of EASURE's assortment. The designs emerge from within the scene itself, not from a marketing meeting.

Here you'll find gothic shirts, hoodies, accessories, and LGBTQ pins that blend rainbow, progressive, and trans flags with dark art, occult symbols, and subcultural attitude. All organic , hand-printed in Krefeld, queer-friendly, anti-fascist – and uncompromisingly you.

LGBTQ+ & Gothic Lifestyle – why this category exists

LGBTQIA+ and Gothic have been intertwined for decades: outsiders who define themselves instead of being defined by others. In clubs, at festivals, at demonstrations, or at Pride – you create a look from black, symbols, and flag colors that makes a statement.

EASURE understands Gothic as a countercultural safe space . Our shirts, hoodies, and accessories speak to people who:

  • to visibly display their queer identity
  • Don't just post antifascism , wear it!
  • Love dark aesthetics and still celebrate rainbow colors
  • They value sustainable textiles and fair production.

In this LGBTQ category , you won't find anonymous mass-produced items. You'll find statements you'll wear.

What does LGBTQ mean – and how is that reflected in our designs?

LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer (often shortened to LGBTQ+ or LGBTIQ*). The term encompasses identities that defy heteronormative boundaries. You see this very breaking down of boundaries in our designs.

LGBTQ in the EASURE context

In the EASURE world, LGBTQ means:

  • Lesbian & Gay – Motifs celebrating same-sex love, skeleton lovers, queer couples, heart symbols with a dark twist
  • Bisexual & Pansexual – multicolored flag elements, three-color gradients, geometric shapes that celebrate ambiguity
  • Trans & Nonbinary – Pastel shades from trans flag and nonbinary flag combined with blackwork, pentagrams or witchcraft elements
  • Queer as an overarching term – open to any identity that breaks down categories and cannot be classified.

You can see this diversity on:

  • LGBTQ Shirts (organic cotton, hand-printed)
  • Gothic hoodies with queer motifs, ideal for nights when you want to show your colors.
  • Pins, patches and chokers that give your outfit a queer interpretation, even if you're dressed entirely in black.

Do you like the mix of queer, witchcraft, and occultism? Then you should also take a look at our Witchcraft category and its occult designs .

Why LGBTQ-friendly Gothic fashion is more than just style

For us, LGBTQ+ friendly means: You're not just wearing rainbows. You're in a shop that takes queer identity, antifascism, and inclusivity seriously. For many queer people, Gothic fashion isn't a costume, but armor made of fabric.

Visibility in a hostile environment

In a Europe where Pride parades are under pressure in some countries and queer people experience attacks, clothing makes a visible statement. Rainbow flags, trans flags, and other LGBTQ flags function like shining seals in a dark world within the Gothic context.

EASURE is clearly on your side:

Sustainable, conscious fashion for queer communities

You know the frustration: Cheap Pride shirts that only appear in June, stretch out after two washes, and convey zero attitude.

At EASURE you get:

  • Organic cotton with a robust feel, produced for long nights and loud demonstrations.
  • Hand-printed small series that won't make you look like a corporate billboard.
  • Vegan-friendly accessories , e.g. chokers made of PU leather or BioThane, as in the vegan PU choker category or our BioThane Gothic chokers.

So you're not just dressing visibly queer, you're also strengthening an independent Gothic brand that shares your values.

LGBTQ shirts in Gothic style – Pride in black with color accents

T-shirts are often the first thing you add to your cart from this category. They carry your message directly on your chest or back – in clubs, on the street, at demonstrations, in everyday life.

What makes our LGBTQ T-shirts special?

  • Organic cotton, unisex cut – for all bodies, regardless of whether you identify as female, male, nonbinary or beyond these terms.
  • Dark Art meets Pride – skulls, bats, Baphomet elements, combined with rainbow or trans colors
  • Anti-fascist and queer statements – clear messages that no one can misunderstand.
  • Limited Prints – you're not wearing mainstream, but a serial work of art.

If, while browsing the LGBTQ category, you find yourself wanting even more dark art on fabric, dive deeper into our Dark Art category .

Styling tips for LGBTQ Gothic shirts

Here's how to combine Pride with Gothic Lifestyle:

  • Layer your shirt with a Gothic hoodie from Gothic Hoodies for cold nights in the park or at concerts.
  • Complete your outfit with Gothic tights from Gothic Tights if you like contrasts between bare skin, fishnets and Pride colors.

Gothic hoodies with LGBTQ motifs – warm, soft, rebellious

A hoodie protects you from the cold, prying eyes, and bad vibes all at once. Our Gothic hoodies in the LGBTQ category combine cozy comfort with a clear statement.

LGBTQ Accessories: Pins, Stickers, Chokers & More

Not every situation calls for a large statement shirt. But you still want to express your LGBTQ lifestyle . That's where accessories come in.

Need more visual detail on your clothing? Check out our EASURE Pins category and the general Gothic Pins , where you'll find designs ranging from cute to morbid.

Pins & Patches – Enamel instead of quiet compromises

Pins function like small, precisely placed magic symbols:

  • You wear them on your jacket, hoodie, beanie or backpack
  • You combine them with pentagram pins like the Heart Pentagram Pin to blend pride and occult symbolism.
  • You use them for layered looks with patches from Gothic Patches , when you turn your vest into a mobile protest wall.

Pins are also suitable as an LGBTQ gift : a small but very personal token.

Chokers & necklaces – queer elegance around the neck

A gothic choker acts like a promise: you belong to the night, but you define what that means yourself. Combined with LGBTQ aesthetics, this creates:

You can incorporate flag colors into your makeup or hair color to create a subtle LGBTQ code that those in the know will immediately recognize.

LGBTQ in everyday life: From kindergarten to club night

LGBTQ visibility isn't limited to Pride Month or club nights. Many queer people come out during their studies, at work, or even in kindergarten and school settings , whether as educators, parents, or young people.

Subtle signs for sensitive environments

Not every environment reacts well to neon rainbows. In such situations , subtle Gothic-LGBTQ motifs can help.

  • A black shirt with a small rainbow detail on the chest.
  • A rainbow bat or a subtly colored symbol on the back print
  • A pin or sticker that you can remove if you want to protect yourself.

Celebrate your night – queer, dark, loud

If you're out at a club, festival, or Pride event, your look can really explode:

  • Rainbow or trans accents on black shirts
  • Fishnet tights from Gothic tights , combined with shorts or skirts
  • Straps, belts and chokers from our categories for BDSM and fetish-inspired accessories such as BDSM chokers

In this way, you combine LGBTQ Pride with the iconic Gothic silhouette and make it clear: Queer is not a colorful exception, but an integral part of the scene.

LGBTQ, LSBTIQ, LGBTQIA+ – a brief explanation of the confusing terminology

You read LSBTIQ, LGBTQIA+, LGBTQ+ in English and wonder what it means?

  • LGBTQ – Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer
  • LGBTIQ – German-language version, same basic group (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans , intersex , queer)
  • LGBTQIA+ – supplemented by intersex, asexual and other identities
  • Queer – an umbrella term for people whose identity or desires deviate from the norm.

In this category, EASURE uses LGBTQ as a concise term, while simultaneously respecting the full diversity of LGBTQ and LGBTQIA+ people. The designs are aimed at everyone who identifies within the queer spectrum.

Gothic Lifestyle & Queerness – why this connection is so powerful

Outsiders who write their own narratives

Gothic lifestyle and LGBTQ people share key experiences:

  • To be perceived differently , whether because of clothing, hair, or one's own love
  • Enduring stares that scan and judge you.
  • Find spaces where you can breathe, dance, kiss without feeling smaller.

Goth as a subculture has always written its own stories: the dead speak, witches rule, vampires love beyond heteronormative rules. This setting offers a projection screen for queer identities .

Many of our themed categories, such as vampires , ghosts , or Satan , reflect this interplay of taboo, transgression, and self-empowerment. This also shapes LGBTQ designs at EASURE.

Antifascism as a basic attitude

EASURE understands Gothic not as an escape from the world, but as a counter-concept to oppression. The AGAINST collection, featuring AGAINST shirts and AGAINST hoodies, clearly embodies this philosophy.

The LGBTQ designs you find here are in exactly this tradition:

  • no pinkwashing
  • no neutrally worded phrases that obscure perpetrator structures
  • Instead, clear, dark, serious visuals – with humor, but without relativizing.

Sizes, fits & materials – LGBTQ fashion for real bodies

Queer bodies are diverse. EASURE designs clothing that respects that.

Unisex as a starting point

Many LGBTQ shirts and hoodies in this category are based on unisex cuts in order to:

  • To take into account broad shoulders, narrow shoulders, bust and hips equally.
  • to prevent gender euphoria from failing due to binary divisions
  • to give you room for self-expression (oversized, cropped, tailored, knotted)

You can find information about this in many product descriptions:

  • Length and width in centimeters
  • Indications of whether the fit appears loose or close-fitting

If you want to read more, our size charts on the product pages and the experiences from other categories such as EASURE Unisex T-Shirts made of organic cotton or Gothic Girlie Shirts will help you.

Materials & Feel

The focus is particularly on:

  • Organic cotton , soft, breathable, suitable for long club nights
  • durable prints that can withstand many washes
  • vegan materials in accessories, e.g. faux leather chokers

EASURE reduces overproduction through small production runs. This gives each LGBTQ design a collectible quality , rather than being disposable pride merchandise.

  • through small insights into the world of symbols, e.g. in the glossary entry on pentagram or witchcraft

FAQ about LGBTQ in the Gothic universe at EASURE

Frequently Asked Questions about LGBTQ Gothic Fashion at EASURE

What exactly does LGBTQ mean?

LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer.

In this category at EASURE, you'll find clothing and accessories that make this diversity visible and translate it into a Gothic lifestyle – from shirts with queer symbols to accessories suitable for everyday wear, the scene, Pride events, and clubs.

Which LGBTQ flags can I find in your designs?
