Queerie vs Get Abode

Queerie is the queer social platform built by us, for us. Meet people for dating, friendship, and everything in between. Join communities built around identity, interests, and connection. Discover queer events near you. Share your Vibe. Make a Spark. Find more ways to connect online and IRL. BELONG HERE. Queerie was built because queer people deserve more than another platform designed around swiping, engagement tricks, and turning our identities into data. Here, connection comes first. MEET PEOPLE Build a profile that reflects who you actually are, discover people across dating and friendship, and send a Sparq with intention when someone catches your attention. No swipe-first design. No endless matching game. JOIN COMMUNITIES Find spaces built around the identities, interests, cultures, and experiences that matter to you. Communities make it easier to find your people, start conversations, and stay connected around the things you share. FIND THINGS TO DO Discover queer events nearby and beyond, from nightlife and music to culture, community gatherings, and more. Queerie helps move connection off the screen and into real life. SHARE YOUR VIBE Post what’s happening in your world, join conversations, and connect with real people without a feed engineered to manipulate what you see. BUILT DIFFERENTLY Queerie centers ALAANA (African, Latinx, Arab, Asian, and Native American) + MOGII (Marginalized Orientations, Gender Identities, and Intersex) communities, and welcomes allies who show up with respect. No data brokering. No feed manipulation. No swiping for validation. Dating. Friendship. Communities. Events. Connection. Queerie. Belong Here.
