Lex is the free text-centered social and dating app by and for lesbian, bisexual, queer women, trans & nonbinary folks to make lasting connections. Inspired by old-school newspaper personal ads, Lex encourages LGBTQ+ connections that go beyond swiping on selfies. With over 8 million messages sent and people in over 200 countries, Lex is the digital hub for queer folks to chat, date, and make friends worldwide. About Lex: Lex is queer owned and operated – we're the social app that centers queer community. Mainstream dating and social platforms see LGBTQ+ people as an afterthought. Lex was created specifically for queer-identifying individuals and is designed to meet the unique needs of our community. Words First, Selfies Second: Inspired by old-school newspaper personal ads, Lex encourages connections that are more meaningful than swiping on selfies. Personals are short chunks of text where people describe their wants and needs. Write a post describing who you are and what you’re looking for— a steamy date, a book club, or gardening tips and prepare for your inbox to be flooded with interested queer people from your area, or from all over the world. Or write a missed connection— a type of post that gives you a second chance at connecting with someone you previously met or saw in public. Someone might post a missed connection about a cutie who smiled at them in line at the farmer's market last weekend but was too shy to say hello. Features: - Filter posts and missed connections by location, age, and keyword - Chat with queers in your neighborhood or around the world - Build your profile: choose a username, add your pronouns, write a bio, link to Instagram (if you want to) - React to people’s posts or save them for a later date - Is there a creep bumming you out? You can block or report them - Free to use, 18+ Press: "Lex is one of the first apps that seems to embrace the queer community’s complexity, not attempt to flatten it." — Vogue "Lex is a truly vital platform that provides not just for queers looking for a partner, but friendship, community and love in all its diverse forms." — Refinery29 "Often, you see someone differently once you get to know them, and Lex offers the ability to do that without the pressure of curating a certain aesthetic first." — Them Privacy: We’re proud to give our users a secure space to meet a friendly and diverse community.
