What Does It Take to Run the World’s Largest Lesbian Dating App?

Robyn Exton is helping queer women find love and friendship, one swipe at a time.

“What we found was that people want a purpose to connect around, so it’s not just, ‘Hey you’re queer, you’ll get along.’ It’s more about, ‘Let’s find the commonality in my queer + x identity, in my intersectional identity.’“

If You’re Asking, ‘Am I Gay? Lesbian? Bi? Trans? Queer?’ Here’s a Start

This New York Times article is a beginners-level questioning resource. It is not trans-specific, so not all the information is relevant to gender questioning, but you may also find some useful information if you are struggling with sexuality. The best part of this article, in my opinion, is the long list of resources mentioned throughout the article.

**THE IT GETS BETTER PROJECT IS LOOKING FOR OPENLY LGBTQ+ YOUTH ACTIVISTS TO SHARE YOUR STORY IN A WEB DOCU-SERIES.**
Our goal is to give viewers around the world a hopeful, affirming glimpse into the lives of activists who identify as LGBTQ+ around the world (including outside of USA) and a respect for the intersectionality of many forms of activism. We’re looking for young people between the ages of 14-24 who are comfortably “out” as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer and who are involved in intersectional causes that aren’t necessarily directly about LGBTQ+ equality.
Maybe you’re part of a group of young queer activists working to end gun violence or fight for change in immigration policy. Maybe you’re creating a space for other LGBTQ+ youth to join you in advocating for global climate change or local workers rights. Maybe you’re creating art as activism related to racial inequality or reproductive justice. Maybe you are just a young person who is passionate about a particular cause and want to see a change in the world. We’re looking for young people between 14-24 who are changing the world…or even your own community. No cause is too small!
Does being openly LGBTQ+ impact your view of the world? Why are you so passionate about the cause you’re fighting for? The time commitment is limited- filming would take place over 1-2 days in your area based on your availability.
**What’s your story? Please email us ASAP and let us know! casting@creatorup.com**
PLEASE REFERENCE “ACTIVISM” IN THE EMAIL AND TELL US ABOUT YOU!

10 Queer Activists Come Together Across Generations To Share Lessons and Love

“It’s more than just telling someone ‘it gets better.’ It’s showing them that there is a huge spectrum of people — all ages, all walks, from everywhere — and they’re out there and they’re championing your rights and your ability to live the life that you want to live. And all you have to do is look for us… trust me, we are everywhere.”

To celebrate LGBTQ+ history month, we brought together ten LGBTQ+ civil rights leaders, spanning generations past and present, for a group portrait shot by the renowned photographer Frederic Aranda at the historic Black Cat Tavern in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.
