Why connection feels so hard
Tired of bars and hookup apps?
Another night scrolling because your friends are busy?
Tired of dates that don't lead to connection?
Who is this for
People who choose compassion over judgment — honest, authentic, and gentle with others.
People who lead with warmth — they say hi, welcome others in, and show up with kindness.
People who contribute — help out, bring something to share, co-create the vibe.
People who play — are silly, expressive, and comfortable being their full selves.
Inspired by Communal Living
Gather is inspired by the sense of connection found in queer communal houses — spaces where people show up for each other, communicate openly, and belong.
We're bringing a little bit of that feeling into your neighborhood, one small gathering at a time.
