Inspiration
Even in 2021, various parts of the world still condemn the LGBTQ community and doesn't accept their gender and sexual identity. These factors inspired us to present them exclusively as an App, to show that they are perfect the way they are and be proud of who they are. They are seen with elevated rates of emotional distress, symptoms related to mood and anxiety disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behaviour when compared to heterosexuals. Prejudice, Social Stress, and Mental Health in these communities shouldn't be normalised and we need the society to welcome them.
