Philly Gayborhood Tee – In the Heart of Pride
Philadelphia’s Gayborhood is more than a place—it’s a symbol of community, history, and inclusion. This tee pays tribute to 13th Street, the heart of the Gayborhood, featuring a six-sided street sign design with a rider below in the vibrant colors of the Pride flag.
The Gayborhood has long been a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQ+ people, shaping the cultural, political, and social landscape of Philly. The Human Rights Campaign consistently awards Philadelphia a perfect score for inclusivity, recognizing the city’s commitment to equality.
🏳️🌈 Wear it with pride. Celebrate Philly’s LGBTQ+ history. Represent a neighborhood that stands for love and acceptance.
What is a Rider?
A rider is the area below a street sign that calls attention to notable people of Philadelphia (like John Coltrane) or areas of cultural importance (like the Avenue of the Arts or Philadelphia’s Gayborhood). In Philadelphia anyone can petition the mayor’s office to add an honorary rider to a street sign, and the city council can then approve the rider.
Some of the riders in this series exist in Philadelphia, like the John Coltrane rider. Others do not exist but we made them because we think they should!
