About Neither Funny Nor Original

The idea for our shop came to us in 2020. There is an underwhelming array of LGBTQ+ greeting cards on the shelves. There’s an appreciation card for your shitty boss or a sympathy card for the death of a beloved pet, but there isn’t a card for celebrating someone coming out. Birthday card from husband to husband or from wife to wife? Good luck finding something that isn’t cringe worthy. Non-binary badasses? Don’t even try, there’s nothing for you. Unless it’s the month of June, Pride month, where the LGBTQ+ can be the most capitalized on, our community is devoid of genuine representation. Mass companies take a rainbow and slap it onto cheap merch and say here you go, now sit down and shut up. We’re used to that though right? All of our lives have been about taking up the least amount of space and showing gratitude for the little representation thrown our way. That ends here. Our goal with this shop is to provide better options for our community that feel authentic and celebratory. Instead of telling you that you’re too gay, we’ll celebrate it. Rather than taking one month out of the year for Pride, we’ll sport it year round. When you peel back the layers of who Neither Funny Nor Original is, our mission is really quite simple. We recognize that the colors of a rainbow are many, but we celebrate that the colors of people are infinite.Read their story
