Hate Has No Place In Liverpool

Here and Queer t-shirt

Support Young Homotopia by buying one of our t-shirts. For a limited time only get yourself one of two designs by the amazing Rosa Kusabbi. 

All proceeds from the sale of these shirts will go towards our Young Homotopia.

Remember the artwork? Following a spate of violent homophobic hate crimes in central Liverpool last summer Homotopia responded with visible queer art around this city, and commissioned a mural by Rosa Kusabbi titled Hate Has No Place In Liverpool. Unfortunately 4 days after installation to work was pulled down and destroyed. We got the artwork reinstalled, bigger bolder and queerer. And now it’s on a t-shirt! Get yours and join us on our mission to Queer the City.
