Maybe watch some queer-positive TV shows (I don't know of many, anyone got suggestions?) and buy some new pride gear from LGBTQ+ businesses.

Perhaps you've heard of them already, but here are a few I've enjoyed over the past couple of years:

  • Our Flag Means Death (gay pirates, very cozy vibes)
  • A League of Their Own (the formation of the first all-female baseball league during WW2, excellent lesbian representation, strong writing and themes)
  • Pose (a look into 80s ballroom culture, strong trans representation, but I'd only recommend the first season bc the writing quality sharply drops in the next two imo)
  • What We Do in the Shadows (queer vampire roommates and their queer human servant get into various antics, really funny)

I've heard good things about What We Do in the Shadows, totally forgot about it since I've been so busy lately. Thanks for the recommendations!

I'll second that recommend, the show and the original movie never fail to get a laugh out of me. I gotta catch up on the show though, I keep forgetting they've come out with a new season haha.

I'm sure you've heard of it, but heaps of people are going crazy for the Queer Ulimatum atm! It's a reality TV show which I'm not normally into but I enjoyed watching this! (edit: I should add that its a WLW/non-binary cast)
