Our Mission & Vision

    Creating a world where Pride is celebrated in all its beautiful diversity

    A Moment of Urgency

    We are creating prides.gay at a pivotal moment in history. Diversity, equity, and inclusion policies are facing unprecedented attacks across the globe. Hard-won rights and protections for LGBTQ+ communities are being eroded daily through legislation and social backlash.

    In this challenging climate, our platform serves as a beacon of resistance and celebration. We believe that visibility is more important than ever, and that creating safe spaces for our community to connect is not just a convenience—it's a necessity.

    This is more than an app. This is a movement to protect our collective joy in the face of those who would prefer we remain invisible.

    Healing Division

    For too long, our community has been fragmented by internal division. We've witnessed toxicity within our own spaces, perpetuating the very harm we seek to escape in the broader world.

    prides.gay is dedicated to healing these divisions by amplifying the voices that have been historically marginalized even within LGBTQ+ spaces. We are committed to moving beyond the cis-male gay domination that has characterized much of mainstream queer representation.

    We actively center and celebrate FLINTA (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Trans, and Agender) individuals, BIPOC community members, and transgender people in all aspects of our platform.

    Our Core Values

    Inclusive Representation

    We prioritize representation from all corners of our community, with special attention to those who have been historically excluded from mainstream LGBTQ+ spaces.

    Community Safety

    We are committed to creating digital spaces that are free from harassment, discrimination, and violence, where everyone can connect authentically.

    Accessible Pride

    We believe that pride celebrations should be accessible to all, regardless of physical location, financial means, or personal circumstances.

    Intersectional Approach

    We recognize that our community members hold multiple identities that shape their experiences, and we design our platform with this complexity in mind.

    Join Our Journey

    prides.gay is more than a platform—it's a community-driven effort to reclaim and celebrate our identities in all their beautiful diversity. We invite you to not just use this platform, but to help shape it.
