Mobile app and website for the LGBT Community that currently has more than 500,000 in Latin America with a great level of engagement. GPSGAY offers a free safe space online for the LGBT community, available in Mobile Apps (Android & iOS) and also via web, that provides a friendly environment where the whole community can interact with each
other, find content, documentaries, NGOs for support, online consulting about sexuality, events (parades, conferences), and friendly places to go to. Available in Spanish, English and Portuguese, GPSGAY not only addresses social inclusion, work inclusion, health and self-esteem issues. It's completely free for the users and it also works as a channel for companies and organizations that wish to reach out to and further engage with the LGBT community. GPSGAY is currently working with the United Nations, IBM, Unilever, among others.
GPSGAY won many international awards such us the Mobile Premiere Award in Barcelona as one of the best up-and-coming apps in the World.
GPSGAY aims to revert the incorrect image that many people still have about the LGBT community, which causes isolation, bullying and fear for 10% of the human population. It seems that most of the online services for LGBT are dating and sexual encounters apps, focusing specially on men. Yes, sex is part of the community lives, but is not the only thing. GPSGAY is a for-profit with social impact, looking to become the epicenter of the LGBT culture online.
