About

 Welcome

Walt & Pete is brand that celebrates gay and bi queer history. " Our Love, Our Story, Our History." We show reverence to many of the gay and bi men that have historically changed the world. From Michelangelo, Alexander von Humboldt, Alan Turing and more. We enshrine our discos and night clubs that fully supported the equal rights movement and provided need and comfort during the AIDS Crisis. The portraits are of digitally restored historical images of male relationships mostly before the Victorian era with enhanced AI techniques. I believe that displaying these images from the office to your home promotes visual reminders that gay and bi male relationships have existed and prospered well before modern times. 

 Walt & Pete provides products that encompass male relationships. However they are, either sexual or not. This collection is devoted to Walt Whitman & Peter Doyle. It's' to promote the love and success that have always existed in our community.

It’s dedicated to the men who were brave enough to take risks, to challenge the status quo, and to push the boundaries of what was possible. It’s dedicated to those who had the courage to stand up and fight for what they believed in, even when it was unpopular or dangerous. It’s dedicated to the men who dared to dream, and to those who had the strength to make their dreams a reality. It’s dedicated to the men who helped shape the world we live in today, and to the generations of men who will continue to do so in the future. It’s dedicated to the unsung heroes of our past, present, and future.

"You've always been in good company."
