A man tried to shame me outside the shop this morning. Then he wrote his own finale. Your wish is my command. 🌈✨

Our shop mascot Leggy Gaga 🦗 has a rainbow twin! 🌈 A mystery customer crocheted this gorgeous version and left it in the shop — but we don’t know who they are 🥹 If it was you, THANK YOU 💖. Queer joy comes in so many forms, and this one has made our whole week ✨ #LeggyGaga #thisshopissogay #gayshop

Late-night cricket cabaret 🌙✨ Leggy Gaga only comes out when the shop is quiet — and yes, they always steal the spotlight 🦗👑 #leggygaga

Leggy Gaga. Tiny. Iconic. Lives rent-free in This Shop Is So Gay. 🌈✨#LeggyGaga #ThisShopIsSoGay #lgbtq #gayshop

Part 2…the cricket saga continues! #thisshopissogay #leggygaga

What did the homophobes throw at us this time…? 🦗 ThisShopIsSoGay.com #GayShop #YorkGayShop

Update! Our Pride flag was ripped down. 🌈 But thanks to an incredible ally in York (I’ll tag him here on TikTok ➡️ @lewisrenault666), it found its way home again — neatly rolled up and back through our door. 💌✨ Hate tried. Love answered louder. #ThisShopIsSoGay #GayShop #YorkGayShop #lgbtq

Gay flag ripped down. Again. 😭 #gayshop #yorkgayshop #thisshopissogay

We hadn't even finished the shop and our simple existence was enough to p!$$ him off #gayshop #gayshopyork #thisshopissogay #tsisg

Despite the homophobia before we’ve even opened, we are still excited because Xander made our fabulous sign by himself! It’s amazing what former maths teachers can do! #TSISG #gayshop #Gayshopyork
