11 gifts this Valentine's Day that go beyond the binary

Valentine’s Day is painfully overrated.


I’m sick and tired of walking into any chain store and being attacked by red and pink hearts, ads featuring the perfect cisgender couple, or even my local coffee shop promoting “lattes for two.”

Out with heteronormative gifts, and in with this selection of inclusive, gender-nonconforming goodies.
