Proudly Serving San Antonio- LGBT+ Businesses in SA

Gabby Mata

I’d like to take a moment and spotlight some amazing LGBT+ businesses we have here in San Antonio. This month is also Pride Month, not only that but we’re also celebrating 50 years since Stonewall and 4 years since Marriage Equality passed so what better way to support the community than to purchase directly from LGBTQ owned businesses.

Not to say the rest of the year you shouldn’t purchase from them- you should support them all the time. Just saying if you wanna be a better ally, identify as LGBT+ or just wanna support more local business you now have a list of LGBT+ owned businesses in San Antonio.
