From the article: "In 2018, Charlie Sprinkman was working for an organic beverage company, a job that required them to travel to 42 states. But along the way, they struggled to find LGBTQ+ hangouts. The solution came to them while they were driving home from Brave Trails, a youth LGBTQ+ leadership summer camp where they were a counselor: They’d create Everywhere Is Queer, a digital map of queer-owned businesses.

"Launched in January 2022 with a website and social media presence, Everywhere Is Queer has grown to a directory of over 13,000 LGBTQ+-owned brick-and mortar and online businesses, services and community groups across the globe. Since February, a mobile app has been available on iOS and Android with over 80,000 downloads and many more resources, including a job board with LGBTQ+ and ally-owned businesses looking to hire. "
