Quotes from Our Digital Safety Guide
“Online safety for queer people isn’t optional — it’s survival.”
“Your phone holds your identity. Without safeguards, it can also become your most vulnerable point of exposure.”
“Even your most trusted device can become a threat if someone else has access to it.”
“Queer people are disproportionately targeted by AI-powered phishing, deepfakes, and online harassment — our safety strategies must evolve just as fast.”
“If you’re using community apps like Grindr or Lex, turn off location sharing — especially in places where being outed can be dangerous.”
“A one-size-fits-all security approach doesn’t work for our community. This guide meets you where you are.”
“Use encrypted messaging, encrypted storage, and encrypted hearts — we deserve privacy and dignity at every level.”
“Closeted users should consider creating separate identities and vaults to keep their public and private lives secure.”
“Queer orgs must treat cybersecurity as a form of community care — not just an IT issue.”
“Whether you’re navigating trauma, activism, or just existing online, you have a right to digital safety and control.”
