“Safe social platforms like SPACES are important because everyone needs to have a community that wants what’s best for you, no matter what that is.”

Ash
Member of Queer Artist Collective, Outfit of the Day, Dogs! Dogs! Dogs! and more

“Having a safe social media platform for queer people is necessary and much-needed. We deserve to have a platform where we can go and feel comfortable being our true, authentic selves without ridicule, bullying or judgment. And it gives us the opportunity to connect with others who understand our struggles and identify with who we are.”

“What’s most amazing to me is seeing the sheer diversity of SPACES users, not just in how they personally identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community, but also the crazy range of interests represented in the app!”

“Being gay on the internet and on social media is not always the safest thing in the world. But there’s a place where all of us can come together, and that is SPACES, a place for queer communities to exist. I get to talk about retro video games and board games and other things that I like, and it’s all queer people! It’s all people who understand who I am. I love it!”
