Queer Skeletons Unisex Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Strip away clothes, flesh and every gender cue society obsesses over and the skeletons are still flirting.

Queer gothic humour works because mortality makes social rules look especially ridiculous. Skeletons do not care about passing, respectability, dress codes or whether somebody's grandmother understands the relationship. Two bones embracing turn romance into a tiny memento mori: love who you want, be weird while there is time, and remember that everybody eventually ends up equally underdressed. The gothic image also fits a long queer tradition of finding beauty in outsiders, monsters and things mainstream culture labels morbid before queer people make them romantic.

This queer skeleton long sleeve belongs at Halloween, goth clubs, Pride after dark, cemetery walks and winter dates with people who think skulls count as floral print. Black makes it obvious, deep teal goes eerie, poppy makes the bones absurdly cheerful. Queer gothic clothing for lovers who plan to remain inconvenient until decomposition.
