    Pride month is here!!! The NFT industry has been lauded for its ability to create a diverse and equitable space for artists from all walks of life, including the LGBTQ+ community. That said, in reality, LGBTQ+ NFT artists are severely underrepresented in the space. The industry sure has a long way to go to shed its current boy’s club image. Amid this, the onus is on the whole NFT community to support existing LGBTQ+ artists and make space for newcomers. 

    So, this pride month, we have curated a list of 10 LGBTQ+ artists that you can support.

    A queer designer, Derin Baysal is the artist behind the Queer Rise NFT collection. After finishing their studies in graphic design in IED Milano, Baysal has been working in Istanbul, Turkey as a graphic designer, illustrator, and artist.

    Further, for Queer Rise, Baysal hand-drew 10,000 NFTs representing the queer culture. Actually, the project aims to turn the metaverse into a more inclusive and queer-friendly space. “Queer or not, people can be whoever they want and wear whatever they want,” the collection’s website reads. 

    8. Stacie A Buhler champions LGTBQ+ rights.

    A fashion photographer and NFT artist based in Los Angeles, Stacie A Buhler creates works that are “relaxed, fun, welcoming, and inclusive to all”. She’s the founder of Ugly NFTs featuring Ugly Berts and Ugly Bettys. The collection takes inspiration from her personal experiences where both men and women have told her they don’t like the way she dresses.

    In addition, Stacie has digitally hand-painted each NFT in the collection. “This NFT collection is based on model diversity and LGTBQ+ rights and exposure within the fashion industry,” the project’s description reads. 

    9. Vanshika Dhyani – An Asian, bisexual NFT artist

    Vanshika Dhyani is an Asian, bisexual, neurodivergent artist. She created The Desi Dulhan Club NFT collection to raise awareness about child marriages, dowry deaths, honor killings, and female infanticides occurring in South Asia. 

    As a matter of fact, she first created the project to honour her grandmother, who was married off at the age of 13. Besides, the “Desi Dulhans” in the collection have no lips, to represent how women are silenced in South Asia. On the other hand, the eyes feature a “deer in headlights” look to portray a “scared and uncertain” look. 

    “My long-term vision for this collection is to have people who want to make a difference go to South Asia and volunteer with UNICEF to uplift, empower and educate women,” Dhyani noted.

    10. Jessie – Queer artist of 100% LGBTQ+ owned NFT project

Jessie first drew the artwork for the MMC project back in 2012 as a small comic featuring two monsters. Besides, the project is 100% LGBTQ+ owned and operated. Moreover, Jessie boasts over 11 years of experience in providing direct mental health support to underserved communities, especially focusing on LGBTQ+.

    Needless to say, the above list is in no way exhaustive. There are many other NFT artists from the LGBTQ+ community that you can support this pride month. This includes top NFT artists like FEWOCiOUS (Victor Langlois), Klara Vollstaedt, and Sarah Zucker.
