Our Values
Our community is built on strong values that guide everything we do. We believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. These aren't just words on a page - they're the principles that shape our actions and interactions.
We create a space where:
- Everyone in the LGBTQ+ community feels welcome
- You can be yourself
- We support each other
- Different perspectives and experiences are valued
- We learn from each other
Sharing Events
Events are the heart of our community. Whether you're organizing a small meetup or sharing information about a major celebration, these guidelines will help ensure your event posting reaches the right audience and provides a safe, enjoyable experience for all participants. When posting events, please remember to:
Event Requirements
Creating a welcoming environment is everyone's responsibility. These behaviors aren't just good manners - they're essential for maintaining a community where everyone can participate fully and authentically. Your event must:
- Be explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive
- Have clear anti-discrimination policies in place
- Provide venue information about accessibility
- Include complete event details (time, location, cost, age restrictions)
- Have safety measures for attendees
- Respect privacy and consent regarding photography and social media
No Tolerance Policy
We maintain a strict no-tolerance policy to protect our community. This means immediate action will be taken against any violations, without warnings or second chances. We believe that maintaining clear boundaries is essential for creating truly safe spaces.
We have zero tolerance for:
- Any form of discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation, race, disability, or other aspects of identity
- Unsafe or exclusionary venue practices
- Events that exploit or commercialize the LGBTQ+ community (pinkwashing)
- Events that don't have clear safety protocols
- Misgendering or deadnaming
- Hidden or surprise costs
- Misleading event descriptions
Safety Requirements
Safety is non-negotiable. Every event we promote must prioritize the wellbeing of LGBTQ+ attendees. These requirements reflect common situations where LGBTQ+ people might feel unsafe or unwelcome, and provide clear solutions to prevent such experiences.
Your event should include:
- Clear contact information for organizers
- Accessible entrance and facilities information
- Content warnings where appropriate
- Gender-neutral bathroom access
- A designated safety contact person during the event
- Clear protocols for handling harassment or discrimination
Event Submission Process
We've created a straightforward submission process that helps us verify that your event meets our requirements. Each step is designed to ensure we have all necessary information to promote your event responsibly.
- Submit your event details through our form
- Provide accessibility information
- List safety measures in place
- Wait for our review and approval
- Weโll share your event on our social media platforms
Violations and enforcements
Our enforcement policy is designed to be clear and decisive. We take our role in the LGBTQ+ community seriously, and our response to violations reflects this commitment. This section outlines exactly what happens if guidelines are not followed.
If we discover violations of these guidelines:
- The event will be immediately removed from our platform
- The organizer will be banned from future submissions
- We will inform our community about the cancellation
- No warnings or second chances will be given
- We will report serious violations to appropriate authorities
Remember: Our platform exists to promote events that create positive, safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community. Our strict guidelines and enforcement policies reflect our commitment to this mission. By submitting your event, you agree to uphold these standards and contribute to building a safer community for everyone.
