We're all about:

Sharing The Good Stuff

We have a growing base of specifically QT resources on everything from finding queer-friendly housing to the best coffee shops where pronouns are respected, and the baristas make latte art that's almost too pretty to drink (almost).

Building Community

Let's be real—finding friends as an adult can be hard. We collaborate with organizations in town to host meetups, virtual support groups, and social outings so you can connect with other awesome humans who get you.

Keeping It Real

No corporate vibes or gatekeeping here. We're all about authentic connections, real talk, and making space for everyone to shine. We don't have all the answers, but we're happy to help try to find some.

We believe in meeting people where they're at.

No expectations, no pressure. Doesn't matter if you're out and proud or still figuring things out, this space is for you. We celebrate the full spectrum of queer and trans experiences. Why?

Everyone deserves to live their lives as themselves.

And unfortunately for trans folks that might mean you need to relocate. We hope to make that journey a little less daunting and a lot more joyful.
