What is Bessa?
Bessa is a gay social media app and LGBTQ social networking app made by and for the LGBTQ community. It’s a place to post and share LGBTQ content, connect with local LGBTQ people, and build friendships that go beyond likes or dating. Unlike other platforms, Bessa is an inclusive social platform focused on authentic connection, queer community, and shared experiences. Whether you’re looking for events, friends, or just a space where you feel seen, Bessa helps you find your people and stay connected.
Who can join Bessa?
Bessa is designed for everyone under the LGBTQ umbrella. While allies are welcome to support the project, the app itself is built to serve LGBTQ users who want space to connect, share experiences, and find each other outside of hookup culture.
How is Bessa different from Grindr, HER, and Taimi
Unlike dating apps, Bessa is a non-dating LGBTQ app. It’s a Grindr alternative for LGBTQ people who are looking to build friendships, explore queer culture, and engage with others through shared content and events. If you’re tired of swiping and want an app like HER or Taimi without hookup culture, Bessa offers a refreshing alternative.
Is Bessa available for iOS or Android?
Yes! Bessa is available on both iOS and Android. Just search for it in the App Store or Google Play to start connecting. The app works across devices so you can keep up with your community anywhere.
Can I post events or queer-friendly places?
Absolutely. With a subscription, Bessa lets you post and share LGBTQ content like events, meetups, and safe spaces for the community. Whether you’re promoting a queer art show or sharing your favorite inclusive bookstore, Bessa helps you connect with local LGBTQ people in real life.
How do I support Bessa?
Bessa is an independent LGBTQ social networking app, and community support helps it grow. You can donate or become a sponsor to help keep the app running, fund new features, and support queer connection. Sponsorships include perks like a custom badge and public recognition.
