New Tier System
🕑 Added 2022-10-27 01:09:47 +0000 UTCThank you so much for helping us reach our 3-flags goal, and for your input on the new tier system! Please read this post carefully so that you can know how to edit your tiers from month to month moving forward.
Continuing US-Only Tiers
The Coupon Club remains $3. It is the best way to take a break from rainbow or flag variant pins while helping us stay at the 3-flag membership level. It also earns you a 20% monthly store discount, early access to returning pins, and input via polls.
The Gay Breakfast (rainbow variant) and the Gay Breakfast Special will remain $15 each (US Only).
The Special will be the 'common' flag pin, and will rotate through the 6 most common flags, resulting in a pin in each flag averaging twice a year. Common flags are: Lesbian, Bi, Trans, Nonbinary, Ace, & Pan.
New US-Only tiers as follows:
$15 Gay Breakfast Seasonal-- The uncommon flag pin tier, US only. Most (ethical) Pride flags not covered by the Special may get featured this way. These uncommon-to-obscure flags won't repeat often, if at all. This is our way of trying to reach as many identities as possible, at least once.
$28 Gay Breakfast Combo A (Rainbow & Common), Combo B (Rainbow & Uncommon) , and Combo C (Common & Uncommon), all of which are US only. We are increasing the price very slightly in response to the increasing workload of managing and storing more combinations of pins.
$40 Gay Breakfast Prix Fixe: This US only tier gets you all 3 variants! Rainbow + Common + Uncommon.
New Worldwide Tier
$46 Gay Breakfast Buffet: This Worldwide Tier gets you 4 pins: all three variants PLUS a mystery legacy pin from any of our past pins. This will be our only worldwide tier moving forward, because we can most easily absorb international shipping expenses, especially when we need to replace lost shipments. To be clear: this tier is for both US and international patrons.
Retiring Tiers can be grandfathered if you don't switch:
If you are currently in a tier that we are retiring, your membership/rewards in that tier will not be deleted. However, if you switch from a retired tier to a new tier, you will not be able to return to the retired tier-- from then on you could only choose from published tiers above.
The $26 Combo US Tier would be retired. Anybody who remains on/grandfathers the old combo tier would be locked into getting a rainbow pin and a common flag pin.
The $32 Buffet US Tier would be retired. Anybody who remains on/grandfathers the current buffet tier would be locked into getting a rainbow pin, a common flag pin, and a random legacy pin.
The 3 older International Tiers are being retired. Anybody who remains on/grandfathers the old tiers would be locked into getting the same rewards their old tiers would earn them. We are sorry that soaring international shipping costs ($15-25 on average) have made smaller tiers unsustainable, and this was a difficult decision to make. We hope that international folks who shift to the new buffet worldwide tier will enjoy getting 4 pins every month.
Fulfillment / Mailing Schedule
As announced a few months ago, we are mailing 3 months of pins at a time. This is helping to keep our price-per-pin lower against massive inflation, as well as giving us breathing room with supply chain delays. That means that the next 3 months of pins will probably mail in January.
Thank you!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again so much for helping us take this leap! It is a dream come true to be able to afford to devote more time to making work that validates an increasing variety of LGBTQ folks.

Are the hidden posts older? It could be from one remain posts it to “select tiers” rather than “all patrons” We did it that way for a while because we had some one dollar patrons who did not qualify for the coupon codes. It is possible that the new teirs can’t see the old posts set to “select teirs” because those tears did not exist yet when the post was made. But we recently made the change to hitting the all patrons button. Please let me know the most recent post you can’t see. Thanks!

Oof! It could be I forgot to check off a box. Thanks for the heads up!

I just upgraded to the Worldwide! Now to figure out why there are posts by you guys that I cannot see that Patreon is asking me to support you to see, when I already support you. Silly Patreon!
SpicedPie
Yes! It is not just international--it is worldwide! Thank you so much!

Got it, thank you! I don’t mind paying a couple bucks more, I can afford it. 😄

It's totally fine to switch month to month between any published tiers! It's only the retiring tiers that won't show up anymore after you leave them. So the $26 old combo tier is not available anymore if you leave it, but all 3 of the $28 combo tiers will still be an option to switch between. I hope that clears it up for you, and thank you!

I just want to make absolutely sure; it's okay for US residents to select the 4 pin a month worldwide tier too, right? I can't decide between keeping the random legacy pin benefit and getting all 3 variants of the month. :')
Jules
Would there be any issues if I switch between the different combo tiers from month to month? It’s so cool you’ll be able to do more flags!
