Queer Exchange History

Since 2011 Queer Exchange's have existed on Facebook for LGBTQIA2+ communities all around the world. The first was Queer Exchange: NYC, a regional marketplace group, which today has over 34k members.

These groups sprouted up across the nation and have become pivotal structures in many regional queer communities. Unfortunately, they're all on Facebook.

Queer and Trans people deserve unique digital spaces foundationally built for them to thrive off biased platforms. The systems that over police and criminalize our identities have no part in the thriving queer future we deserve.
