As a community, we strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported. However, for many LGBTQ+ individuals, mainstream social media platforms can be challenging and even hostile spaces. This is why Cat Perez and Marianna Di Regolo, a BIPOC queer married couple, created Famm – a discovery platform that highlights queer-owned brands. Now, they’re launching Famm Connect, a new social networking app designed specifically for LGBTQ+ professionals.
A Safe Space for LGBTQ+ Professionals
Famm Connect aims to provide a secure and welcoming environment where users can engage authentically without fear of judgment or bias. The platform acknowledges the unique challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals face in professional settings, such as discrimination, microaggressions, and biases. By creating a space that addresses these specific concerns, Famm Connect offers a better alternative to mainstream networks.
Why is Famm Connect Timely and Significant?
The launch of Famm Connect comes at a critical time for the LGBTQ+ community. With approximately 1.4 million LGBTQ-owned businesses operating in the U.S., there’s an increased need for platforms that cater to their specific needs. By providing a space where LGBTQ+ professionals can connect, collaborate, and support one another, Famm Connect fills a significant gap in the market.
Key Features of Famm Connect
Famm Connect includes common features found on other social networking apps, such as:
- A feed for sharing and discovering posts
- Direct messaging
- A section for managing and cultivating connections
However, what sets it apart is its emphasis on creating a safe and inclusive space. The app’s design ensures that users feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or bias.
The ‘Open to’ Tags: A Game-Changer
One feature that stands out in Famm Connect is the ‘Open to’ tags. These tags can be added to a user’s profile to indicate their purposes for using the app, such as being open to coffee chats, mentoring opportunities, volunteering, and more. This ensures that when users reach out to others, they do so with intention rather than simply spamming them.
Business Listings: A Platform for Queer-Owned Businesses
Famm Connect also plans to include listings for businesses to advertise their products and services. Perez points out that it’s difficult for business owners to advertise on larger platforms, as they provide a service or product that uses certain terminology that could get flagged or banned. Business listings are currently free, but the platform will soon introduce premium business profiles for $20 per month or $200 per year.
Additional Features: In-Person Networking Events and Job Listings
Famm is also building features such as:
- A section dedicated to in-person networking events
- Job listings
- Sponsored posts
These features aim to provide users with more opportunities for connection, collaboration, and growth.

The app is free to download and operates on an invite-only basis. This ensures that users are part of a curated community that’s invested in creating a safe and inclusive space. Users can also refer unlimited friends to join the platform.
In conclusion, Famm Connect offers a unique solution for LGBTQ+ professionals who need a platform that understands their specific challenges and concerns. By providing a safe and inclusive space, Famm Connect fills a significant gap in the market and sets a new standard for social networking apps.
