Hi, I’m Seri (She/Her) and I am the founder of Boston Queers.
​Welcome to Boston Queers! We are thrilled to have you here. Boston Queers is your go-to queer-owned business directory for discovering and exploring queer-owned businesses in New England. Whether you're looking for inclusive services, shops, or local favorites, our resource guide has you covered.
​
I’m Seri (She/Her), the founder of Boston Queers. I started Boston Queers to celebrate, uplift, and support queer-owned and inclusive businesses across New England. When my fiancé and I were planning our wedding, it was a priority to work with queer-owned vendors. However, we quickly realized how challenging it was to find a comprehensive and easy-to-use resource for these businesses. That’s when the idea for Boston Queers came to life.
​
My vision for Boston Queers goes beyond just being a directory. We're building an online community for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to connect, support, and thrive together.

How to Navigate Our Website
Every business listed on Bostonqueers.com belongs to one of two categories: "Queer-Owned" or "Inclusive." Queer-owned businesses are owned and operated by individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, while inclusive businesses actively make a distinct and intentional effort to support the LGBTQ+ community. Queer-owned businesses are highlighted in yellow, and inclusive businesses are highlighted in orange.
​
Important note on our use of the term "queer": We recognize that the term "queer" has a complex history that holds both pain and empowerment to many and it can mean many things to many different people. To us, “queer” is an all-encompassing, all-embracing term for anyone and everyone who finds home within the greater LGBTQIA+ community.
