THE GAY BEARDS
The Gay Beards are a creative duo and longtime best friends who transformed their iconic beards into a canvas for art, humor, and self-expression. Known for their imaginative beard creations, vibrant visual storytelling, and playful personalities, they have built a loyal following by proving that creativity, authenticity, and laughter can bring people together. Their mission has always been simple: create content that makes people smile while encouraging individuality and self-confidence.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Jonathan Dahl and Brian DeLaurenti first gained international attention through their wildly inventive beard art, decorating their beards with everything from flowers and glitter to seasonal themes and elaborate artistic concepts. What began as a creative experiment evolved into a recognizable digital brand celebrated by audiences around the world for its originality, positivity, and unmistakable visual identity.
Today, The Gay Beards create highly shareable content that blends comedy, lifestyle, self-expression, grooming, LGBTQ+ visibility, and creative storytelling. Their unique ability to turn everyday products and experiences into memorable visual moments makes them ideal partners for brands seeking authentic engagement, standout creative, and campaigns that resonate with diverse audiences. Whether collaborating with lifestyle, travel, grooming, fashion, food and beverage, or LGBTQ+ focused brands, The Gay Beards deliver content that is colorful, memorable, and impossible to scroll past.
The Gaybors Group connects clients with LGBTQ+ talent while continuing to do what we do best: championing out and proud voices at the forefront of visibility, culture, representation and community.
We provide clients with a streamlined way to connect with every corner of the LGBTQ+ community. From creators, artists and entertainers to performers, speakers and cultural leaders, we make it easier to discover, book and collaborate with LGBTQ+ talent.
