Affirming Queer-Inspired Clothing Lines

Insanely Cozy Designs Debuts Its Pride Therapy Collection

Insanely Cozy Designs has introduced a clothing line called Pride Therapy. This capsule features eight psychiatric diagnostic codes that the World Health Organization used until 2022 to classify LGBTQ+ identities as mental disorders. Insanely Cozy Designs takes these codes and prints them in n Pride flag colors on hats, hoodies, T-shirts, and tanks.

The Pride Therapy collection includes codes such as F64.0 for transsexualism and F66.1 for ego-dystonic sexual orientation, alongside a note from the WHO stating that sexual orientation itself is not to be regarded as a disorder. Insanely Cozy Designs Founder, Dave Buchwald, commented: "These eight codes bankrolled conversion therapy for 30 years. Now they're queer streetwear."

Ten percent of all revenue from the Pride Therapy collection will go to the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ+ youth.
