In 2021 we ran the Pride Flock Kickstarter, and our original Gay Crime Goose pin absolutely soared in popularity. At conventions, folks ask us, “Does the Gay Crime Goose come in more flag colors?” We’re also frequently asked “Will you ever make plush?”
As queer disabled artists, the only thing we knew for sure was that when we first made plush, we wanted to design a portable lightweight friend for stim and stress relief needs, without the automatic disruptive intrusion of an integrated metal keychain.
If you join the Gay Crime Goose Gang, we’ll be able to make both pins and plush in multiple flag and color options!
It was really important to us that our goose plush is satisfying, convenient, and as accessible as possible. I often want something to fidget with, but carrying much of anything on my shoulder tends to flare up my chronic pain.
As of July 29th, this project has raised $39,000 of their $1,000 goal. This project has 24 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $16, you will get one pin. For a pledge of $26, you will get one plush and bow. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaybreakfast/gay-crime-goose-gang?
