Show your pride: 3 LGBTQIA+ gift ideas at the HoMA Shop

October is Honolulu Pride Month, a time to elevate Hawai‘i’s LGBTQIA+ community and honor its rich history on the islands. And the HoMA Shop has just the right gifts for the occasion these last couple of weeks—and year-round! Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or treating yourself, these options are perfect for celebrating Pride Month and beyond.

In Andy Warhol: Love, Sex, & Desire, it’s easy to get lost in the artist’s drawings from 1960 to 1962, which showcase his wit, effortless style, and fascination with the male form.

I Am a Rainbow! is a heartwarming and stunning all-ages read, written by Honolulu-raised, Los Angeles–based dancer and Instagram sensation Mark Kanemura and illustrated by Richard Merritt. Kanemura, whose childhood inspired the book, hopes the story helps readers feel seen and embrace self-acceptance.

For a fascinating look at issues of gender and queer identity typically overlooked in early modern European art pick up Living Histories: Queer Views and Old Masters. It features four New York–based artists commissioned to temporarily replace works in The Frick Collection that went out on loan. One of the individuals highlighted? Salman Toor, whose exhibition No Ordinary Love was recently on view at the Honolulu Museum of Art. His painting Museum Boys was presented in conversation with Johannes Vermeer’s Mistress and Maid and Officer and Laughing Girl.
