Teaming Up with HER to Support FLINTA Communities

This Pride, we're thrilled to partner with beloved FLINTA dating app HER as they launch new Bent communities where HER members can come together across their cities.

As Pride season begins, we're seeing a global renaissance of queer nightlife, community gatherings and public displays of love and acceptance. Yet this moment is also unfolding against a backdrop of new waves of resistance, a steady disappearance of physical queer spaces and a tide of legislation against our communities. Despite these obstacles, there are more people openly identifying as queer than ever before — and we stand firm in our commitments to helping queer communities of all kinds come together and thrive.

To that end, we’re proud to partner with HER, another innovative queer-led company serving the FLINTA (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-Binary, Trans, Agender) community. Their strong stances and inclusive values create safe space to bridge boundaries, find love and celebrate queer joy. Together, we believe in the power of these connections to uplift and support one another in a world that, at its worst, can otherwise seem stacked against us.

Under this partnership, people who log in to the HER app in the following cities may receive an invitation to their new communities:

• Austin, TX

• Brisbane, Australia

• Columbus, OH

• Denver, CO

• Orange County, CA

• Nashville, TN

• Raleigh, NC

• Tulsa & Oklahoma City, OK

You can also learn more about these communities on the HER blog. Don't see your city listed? Don't worry! We make it easy for anyone, anywhere to start a queer community. You can get started right here.

Together with platforms like HER, we aim to make our world queerer and our communities stronger, one connection at a time. We hope you’ll join us this Pride in celebrating the strength of our community.
