LOVE LIVES HERE.

Today, AFFA launched a joy-filled billboard campaign across the Charleston, SC area that puts LGBTQ+ love front and center. ‘Love Lives Here’ celebrates the couples and families who call the Lowcountry home, not despite the challenges, but because this is our home, and it’s one worth fighting for.

There are currently 10 billboards in the Charleston area featuring several couples from our very own AFFA community. Tag us when you see them!

Where else in SC needs a little bit of love? 🤔👀

Some nights we invite you to move, and others we invite you to listen.

On June 6, we’re hosting Between the Lines—an intimate acoustic evening with @marylambertsing

Designed as a stripped-back, intentional gathering—where music and spoken word share space, and the stories behind the work take center stage. Widely recognized for her work on Same Love, Mary has built a body of work that sits at the intersection of vulnerability, identity, and cultural impact. Her performances move fluidly between song and poetry, creating an experience that feels as personal as it does collective.

Tickets are $108, a nod to Gilbert Baker’s original Pride flag design, and 100% of proceeds will benefit @affa.sc @affa.action @wearefamilycharleston

Doors at 6:30p Show at 7p

🎟️ On Sale for Members May 5th
🎟️ On Sale General Public May 6th

Poster drop 🎉 Park Circle Pride returns June 2–7, 2026 for year 6—bringing 35+ events to bars, breweries, and venues across Park Circle.

The 2026 poster by Alexander Griffin (Gumbo Design Co.) is a bold symbol of unity and resistance—raised fists, interlocked hands, and Pride and trans elements capturing both the fight and the celebration.

Drag, brunches, queer prom, markets, music, and more. Mostly free, all for the community.

Our Pride celebration benefits the LGBTQ+ non-profits AFFA and We Are Family.

Full schedule drops next week. Stay tuned. 🌈

This Lesbian Visibility Week, we celebrate being seen AND being supported.

In line with this year’s theme centering health and wellbeing in the community, we’re reminding our people: rest when you need it, stay connected to people who uplift you, and make space for joy—even in small moments. You deserve every good thing. 🧡🩷💜

We’re so excited to share that we’ve chosen the Alliance For Full Acceptance (@affa.sc) as this quarter’s 1% for the People partner!

ICYMI, last year we launched a new initiative to donate 1% of our profits every quarter to an organization doing important work in our community.

AFFA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a South Carolina where all LGBTQ+ people are respected, safe, and free to thrive. They work statewide to provide LGBTQ+ education, advocacy, and community engagement opportunities. AFFA is a vital force for our queer community and we are proud to support their tireless work to address legislative threats, promote inclusivity, and celebrate queer joy!

Now through the end of June, we’re totaling up 1% of our profits (including in-store and online sales) and donating directly to AFFA. Please spread the word, give @affa.sc a follow, or make a direct donation if you are able.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
