Blue State Threads was built to fund the fight, not chase profit.

Each year, 30% of our profits go directly to organizations defending LGBTQIA+ lives, Black communities, mental health, reproductive freedom, and human rights. These are groups pushing back hard against fascism, hate, and systemic violence.

The remaining 70% covers the essentials — product sourcing, site maintenance, paying queer artists, and developing new drops that keep the resistance dressed and visible.

We keep things transparent. Donations are made once our year-end profits (after covering operational costs) reach at least $1,000. If we fall short in a given year, that 30% is held and rolled over to the next — because we believe in impact, not empty gestures.

Hands off protest with large crowd of people

#RESIST

Our Powerful Cause

We call out injustice. We celebrate identity. We turn up the volume.
This brand came from frustration, rage, love, and survival. It exists for everyone tired of watching hate dominate while truth gets drowned out.

Every shirt, pin, and slogan is a protest in motion. Every design throws a punch, flips a finger, and lights a fuse. We’re queer. We’re loud. We’re anti-fascist. We’re radically inclusive. And we don’t play nice with oppression. This is gear for people who fight back.

Our Narrative

Rooted in Passion

Blue State Threads was built out of rage, glitter, and the absolute refusal to stay quiet. We turn political fire, queer joy, and unfiltered truth into fashion that punches up. Our designs speak with intent and hit where it matters, worn by people who show up and don’t back down.

We Don’t Feed the Machine

You won’t find us on Instagram.
We don’t post to Facebook.
We’re not giving Twitter (that's what it's called) a damn dime.

Why?

Because we refuse to fund fascism.


These platforms profit off hate, amplify lies, and bend over backward for authoritarianism. We’re not here to make nice with algorithms. We’re here to build something real. That means no ads. No corporate handshakes. No compromising.

If you like what we stand for, help us spread the word the old-school way: Tell a friend. Share a link. Wear your resistance out loud.
