Social change within recent years has amplified the voices of the LGBTQIA+ members of our society and highlighted the lack of support and resources offered to our community.

Though there have been tremendous achievements and many incredible organisations fiercely championing our community - there is still a long way to go!

At OQO, we believe we can positively impact our LGBTQIA+ world by creating a positive, all-inclusive online platform!

OQO is about building community, promoting healthy habits and engaging in a shared dialogue.

We want our users to experience all our wonderful, colourful and extravagant queer world has to offer!

    FOUNDER

    Founder Thomas Chapman, like many queer people, was looking for a platform that promoted genuine connections and positive energy for the community. He found that so many apps were owned and run by straight business owners and large corporations. This left him feeling disconnected and wanting something better - and you know the saying…. if you want something done right, do it yourself. So that’s exactly what he did! (cue the montage).
