RSVP to Homoground’s Queer Podcasters Meetup on Sunday, April 25th at 3pm ET.
Hey Homoground listeners! I’m Anna, co-creator of PB&Qs (professionals, business, and queers), an online community for queer women, trans, and gender-nonconforming entrepreneurs and business professionals.
In addition to our Slack group, we host a monthly discussion series called “Thinking Out Loud.” On the first Wednesday of every month we dive deep into a topic, creating a space where we can share our stories and learn from each other. On May 7th we’re exploring the feeling of not being queer enough—whether you don’t have an undercut, got married and had kids, don’t know the latest label or trending phrase, can’t name a celebrity to save your life, or have to day-in and day-out confront the continued erasure of bisexuality from queer culture.Join us, a group of LGBTQ+ women, trans, and gender-nonconforming folk, to hear stories, get ideas, and remind yourself you’re not alone. Go to https://pbandqs.ck.page/join to learn more.Country Queers is an ongoing multimedia oral history project documenting the diverse experiences of rural, small town, and country LGBTQIA+ folks in the U.S. – across intersecting layers of identity such as race, class, age, ability, gender identity, and religion.

Virtual Queer Coworking 24/7
About Homoground’s Virtual Queer Coworking & Creative Cafe.
🌈 Homoground’s Virtual Cafe 🌈 is a virtual space for queer people to pop in throughout the day for project support and coworking/collaborating.
- Do you freelance or work from home and need some social interaction?
- Are you a creative who needs accountability to dedicate time to your practice?
- Are you starting a business (or already have one) and need motivation to get through the hard tasks?
- Are you a student who needs some study time?
Join us in the Homoground Cafe! We’ve got the queerest playlist featuring bands/musicians that have been on the Homoground podcast! The background scene changes frequently so some days we’ll definitely have coffee shop/cafe vibes while others we’ll be chillen out in some nature scenes. Everyone has their own personal todo lists so you can check things off when you’ve completed them!
Become a Member
The cafe is open to Patreon supporters at $5/$10/$15/month (cheaper than going to a coffee shop everyday!) Once you’re a member, you can access our virtual coworking spaces plus our community Slack where we post updates on special events that happen in the cafe, as well as other fun discussions!
Sign up for an Info Session Date:
The best way to know how it all works is to experience it for yourself! Attend an upcoming info-session for a free demo of how Homoground’s virtual coworking and creative spaces work. You’ll get a chance to check out the space and learn how to use cool features like a personal todo list, music player, timers, and more! Plus, you’ll get to meet potential future coworkers!
Wednesday, March 26, 2025 – 8pm East Coast, USA Time (UTC/GMT -5 hours)
Join our Patreon (for free) to be notified when new dates are added.
Every morning we jump into the virtual cafe to set our intentions and make our todo list for the day. At 9:30am ET, we meet in the #Meds+Motivation room for our daily check-in. We go about our day, doing our little tasks, popping in and out of the chat when we need to take breaks or need a little boost. Some people have been showing up for 3+ years now, across various continents and industries.
BECOME A MEMBER to get access to the virtual cafe and other digital spaces, like our members-only Slack group, Meds & Motivation Check-ins and Queer Declutter Club events.

Testimonials from our members!
“This community has been both a safe space and a productive space for me over the years. I am so grateful it exists. As a writer, I spend most of my time working by myself and the virtual café keeps me from feeling isolated in the process. It keeps me feeling grounded and connected while I work and has been a constant in my life as I’ve traveled across continents and transitioned across careers.”- Lotte- @queercoworking member"No matter what life has thrown at me professionally and personally, the coworking space and its members are a safe space I can always go to feel grounded and gently shift into a more productive state."- Carla- @queercoworking member
