The Community You Were Meant to Find

About Us

At Get Out, we believe connection shouldn't be left to chance — or algorithms.

We’re here to make finding your people easier, more meaningful, and a whole lot more joyful.

Who We Are

We’re LGBTQIA+ people and allies who were tired of feeling alone — even in a crowd. Born from lived experience, Get Out is a community-driven platform designed to help people show up, not scroll past.

Whether you're new in town, rebuilding your life, or just craving deeper friendships, we’re building a better way to belong.

What We Do

We’re your Community Matchmaker — helping you connect with people, places, and purpose.

Here’s how:

  • Community Platform: Join our private online space to chat, share, and connect with like-minded members. No ads, no spam — just real talk.

  • Community Calendar: Find out what’s on near you, from pride parties and hikes to yoga, workshops, and quiet meetups.

  • OUTREACH - Volunteer Matching Tool: Tell us your interests and skills — we’ll help you find a community organisation that’s the right fit for you.

  • Get Out Newsletters: Delivered every twice a week, our newsletters highlight queer events, spotlight people and organisations doing incredible work, showcase meaningful reads, and fresh ways to get involved.

How We Do It

We take a multi-channel, human-first approach to community building:

  • We curate a calendar of events and opportunities from across the country (and soon, beyond) so you don’t have to go digging.

  • We match people to people, and people to purpose — through tools that are easy to use and genuinely useful.

  • We focus on proactive connection: helping you feel part of something now, not after a crisis.

  • We partner with grassroots organisations to amplify the incredible work already being done.

It’s about stepping out of isolation — and into a community that gets you.

Why We Do It

Because loneliness isn’t just a feeling — it’s a health issue. And too many LGBTQIA+ people are navigating it alone.

We’ve seen what happens when we rely on dating apps and party culture to carry the weight of community — and we know there’s a better way. Get Out was created to make connection accessible, intentional, and inclusive.

We’re not here to replace anything. We’re here to add to the ecosystem — by making it easier for people to find each other and build something lasting together.
