We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
2. About QueerLine
QueerLine is a nationwide LGBTQ+ community and resource platform. Our mission is to educate, connect, and empower the LGBTQ+ community across the United States. The platform provides resources, a business directory, events, community forums, and news.
QueerLine is not a dating or hookup service and does not facilitate matchmaking of any kind.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use QueerLine. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement. Users under 18 should have parental or guardian consent.
4. User Accounts
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
You may not create accounts to impersonate others, circumvent bans, or engage in any form of abuse. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
5. User Content
You retain ownership of content you post (forum posts, reviews, event submissions). By posting content on QueerLine, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and moderate that content on the platform.
You agree NOT to post content that:
- Is hateful, harassing, or discriminatory toward any person or group
- Contains spam, unsolicited advertising, or promotional material outside designated areas
- Includes personal information of others without their consent
- Violates any applicable law or regulation
- Contains false or misleading information presented as fact
- Is sexually explicit or pornographic in nature
- Promotes or glorifies violence or self-harm
We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these terms or that we determine to be harmful to the community, at our sole discretion.
6. Business Listings
Businesses may submit listings for inclusion in the QueerLine directory. All submissions are subject to review and approval. We reserve the right to reject any listing that does not meet our community standards or that we determine to be inaccurate or misleading.
The paid Featured listing tier is billed through Stripe. Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact us within 7 days of a charge if you believe an error occurred.
Business owners are responsible for the accuracy of their listing information. QueerLine makes no warranties regarding the accuracy of user-submitted business information.
7. Safe Space Policy
QueerLine is explicitly an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals. Content that is anti-LGBTQ+, that promotes conversion practices, or that targets LGBTQ+ individuals with hostility will be removed immediately and the account will be banned without warning.
We welcome respectful discourse on complex topics, but harassment and hate speech have no place here.
8. Intellectual Property
The QueerLine name, logo, design, and all original platform content (excluding user-submitted content) are the property of QueerLine and may not be reproduced without permission.
9. Disclaimers
QueerLine provides resource information and community features for informational purposes only. We are not a licensed healthcare provider, legal firm, or crisis service. Information on this platform does not constitute professional medical, legal, or mental health advice.
Crisis resources listed on this platform are provided as a convenience. In an emergency, always call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
QueerLine is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, QueerLine and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the platform.
11. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to QueerLine at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will survive.
