New York, NY, March 27, 2025 – Kiki, the groundbreaking social activity network and event ticketing platform designed specifically for the LGBTQ+ community, is officially live in the App Store. After years of development, testing, and collaboration with queer organizers, event planners, and venues, Kiki is ready to power the next era of queer gatherings. Already in Beta, the platform has successfully hosted events in major cities like Atlanta, Boston, Houston, New York, and Los Angeles, proving that the future of queer event technology is here.
A Platform Built for Us, By Us
Unlike traditional ticketing platforms that treat queer events as an afterthought, Kiki was designed from the ground up with the unique needs of LGBTQ+ organizers, venues, and attendees in mind. It’s more than just a ticketing service—it’s a movement.
With Kiki, users can:
- Create and promote events with ease – Public, private, invite-only, or ticketed events tailored for the queer community.
- Ensure safety and privacy – Identity verification and trust scores help keep events secure.
- Discover queer events worldwide – Find inclusive and affirming gatherings when traveling.
- Connect with other attendees – Safespace, Kiki’s private chat feature, allows for meaningful engagement before, during, and after events.
Why Kiki? Why Now?
Kiki is launching at a time when queer spaces and queer identities are under attack. Across the U.S. and beyond, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation threatens everything from trans identification, drag performances to DEI initiatives, while mainstream event platforms profit off queer gatherings without reinvesting in the community. Meanwhile, queer venues struggle to stay afloat, and safety remains a pressing concern for LGBTQ+ event goers.
Kiki addresses these challenges head-on by providing an alternative that is designed with and for the community. Every ticket sold, every event hosted, and every connection made through Kiki strengthens a platform that actively uplifts LGBTQ+ culture and commerce, and supports queer gig workers and queer businesses.
A Call to Action for the LGBTQ+ Community and Allies
Kiki is more than an app—it’s infrastructure for the future of queer joy. By choosing Kiki, users ensure that queer dollars stay in the community and that event organizers, venues, and businesses have access to a platform that prioritizes their needs.
