Stay shaded and cool with this hot new Missoula Pride patch visor, featuring the vibrant 2024 Missoula Pride design. Designed by Rae Senarighi, also known as the @transpainter, this year’s design highlights the role ‘pride’ can have in preventing harm in queer communities. Born and raised in Missoula, MT, Rae graduated from Hellgate High School and pursued a fine art degree at the University of MT before relocating to Seattle, WA and later to the Midwest, where he now resides with his wife Gina and their two young children. The design features Rae’s signature floral style, with a bouquet of Montana flowers rotating outward in a perfect rainbow. The @trevorproject’s research consistently finds that LGBTQ+ young people report lower rates of attempting suicide when they have access to LGBTQ+ affirming spaces. When we come together - in pride, in love, in allyship, in queer joy, in community - we are prevention. Community is prevention. Queer joy is prevention. Allyship is prevention. Love is prevention. Pride. Is. Prevention. As part of our nonprofit fundraising program, a portion of proceeds from this merchandise goes towards Missoula Pride efforts to empower the LGBTQIA+ community through education, advocacy, and collaborative networking.
