Diversity is The Symbolism Behind A Boy Named Barbara’s Floral Print
The iconic A Boy Named Barbara floral-print, crafted by the talented queer artist Josh Hunt, serves as a poignant metaphor for the vibrant tapestry of individuality within our community. Each bloom symbolizes the unique essence of every artist, coming together in a harmonious garden of wildflowers—a testament to the beauty found in diversity.

About Barbara
THE ARTIST
Barbara does not sing, play any instruments or engineer his sessions. His gift for collaboration has resulted in over 21 original songs with over 30 different artists in 10 different genres. His vivid musical imagination and non-stop sunshine are fueling his offering to music history. The goal is clear, he wanna dance with somebody.
THE INSPIRATION
The name Barbara is a tribute to Caleb’s grandmother. When he was a kid, he would wear Barbara’s gold high heels until the day he was told “You’re a normal boy – there is something called gay. It’s bad but don’t worry you’re normal. We just don’t want anyone to think you’re gay.” That was the last day he wore the gold shoes until the day he came out with the full support of his grandma with the gold shoes. Today, he uses her name to honor inclusive and accepting love, the pillars of his movement.
