The Gay Fan Club creates vibrant, high-quality bamboo hand fans designed to keep you cool and turn heads. Our rave-ready, Pride-inspired folding fans have become top sellers in major cities across the United States and internationally, celebrated for their bold style and exceptional craftsmanship. More than just fans, our products are iconic accessories that embody queer pride, inclusivity, and unforgettable moments.
Our story began in the sweltering heat of a Houston Memorial Day Weekend in 2019. Anyone who’s experienced Houston summers knows how brutal the heat can be from May through September — the perfect time for a fan that prevents discomfort and keeps you looking fierce. That’s when we launched Houston Fan Club, focused on helping Houstonians beat the heat with style. Soon, demand grew from fans in other cities craving that same bold energy and quality. In June 2019, we proudly came out of the closet and rebranded as The Gay Fan Club, expanding our mission nationwide and beyond.
At The Gay Fan Club, we believe in giving back to the LGBTQIA+ community and supporting the fight for equal rights and greater protections. Each year, we proudly donate thousands of dollars to LGBTQ+ charities, political organizations, and grassroots groups working tirelessly to make a difference.
Beyond monetary contributions, we provide countless giveaways, sponsor events, and offer in-person support at Pride festivals and community gatherings. Our commitment is to uplift, empower, and amplify queer voices — because your pride deserves to be celebrated loudly and proudly, on and off the fan.
The Gay Fan Club is an active member of the Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber and the NGLCC.
