Welcome to Gayple
Where Community Finds a Home.
At Gayple, we believe that being part of the LGBTQIA+ community is about more than just where you spend your Saturday nights. It’s about the coffee shop where you feel welcome on a Tuesday morning, the marketing agency that understands your brand’s voice, and the journey toward building a family of your own.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between gay-friendly businesses and the people who want to support them, while providing a soulful space to explore the many facets of modern gay life.
Beyond the Bar Scene
While we love a great cocktail and a dance floor as much as anyone, we know that our lives are multifaceted. Gayple was founded to showcase the breadth of our community’s impact on the world around us.
We feature a curated look at:
Locally Owned Gems: From the corner bakery to independent boutiques.
Professional Services: Highlighting gay-owned marketing agencies, real estate agents, consultants, and more.
Inclusive Spaces: Highlighting businesses that aren't just "tolerant," but are actively welcoming and inclusive.
Building a Life, Starting a Family
One of the most important pillars of Gayple is our focus on the family side of life. For many of us, the path to parenthood isn’t a straight line. It can be complex, emotional, and overwhelming.
We are dedicated to being a resource for those looking to start their own families. Through Gayple, you’ll find:
Real Journeys: Personal stories from gay couples and individuals about their paths to parenthood—the challenges, the joys, and the lessons learned.
Resource Guides: Navigating the logistics of adoption, surrogacy, and co-parenting.
Community Connection: A space to see yourself reflected in the beautiful, everyday reality of domestic life.
Our Vision
The name Gayple is a nod to our "people." We want this to be a living, breathing directory and blog that grows with our community. Whether you are a business owner looking to connect with your tribe or an aspiring parent looking for a sign that it’s all possible—you belong here.
Let’s build something together.
