Gleam-Be Real. Be You. Belong. app for iPhone and iPad

Gleam is a social community and connectivity app for gay, bi, trans, and queer (GBTQ+) men to make like-minded friends around common interests and shared experiences, shining brighter together.


Gleam is all about giving and receiving – giving and receiving friendship, giving and receiving advice, ideas, and inspiration, and giving and receiving respect, because at Gleam, we all shine brighter together.



Whether you’re into gaming, fashion, parenting, or, yes, sex; whether you’re a top, bottom, fem, masc, old, young – Gleam is an inclusive, hate-free environment that aims to create a safer, happier, and healthier social media for all.



Unlike some other GBTQ+ apps, where homophobes or superficial queens rain on the parade, Gleam is about supporting and appreciating one another’s uniqueness. There’s no body shaming, fem shaming, racism, hate spreading, heteronormativity, or judgment of any kind here. None. We don’t play like that.

In other words, Gleam is about real connections, zero shade.

We look forward to Huddling up with you soon!



Our features include:

Hubs: The nerve centers of Gleam, Hubs are where you create and/or join other like-minded Gleamers to discuss topics that light you up. You can join or create a Hub about books, trivia, games, drag race, model airplanes, bad hookup experiences, great hookup experiences, family drama – or join one of our built-in Hubs on gaming (The Nerdery), Pets (Heavy Petting), or mental health (Internal Affairs.)

Huddles: Live audio meetups for you and your Gleam friends to dive deeper into discussions and connect in a new way – and, yes, we’ll be hosting frequent Huddles with GBTQ+ leaders, luminaries, and just plain cool people we admire.

Personal Feeds: Post and share your latest adventures, thoughts, worries, jokes – whatever you want, Posts are the way to let other Gleamers know what you’re up to, and for you to see what’s happening with them. All we ask is that you keep it SFW.

DMs: Want to take it private? Start direct conversations with like-minded Gleamers to make new friends – or something else…
