Welcome to QueerBio.com
The goal of QueerBio.com is to be the definitive online biographical reference source for the international LGBTQ community. Its database lists over 6,000 contemporary and historical figures who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, and includes artists, sports figures, politicians, entertainers, business leaders, academics, activists, and more. The database is widely international in scope and is an ideal source for research and analysis with full search and sort functionality.
The mission is to inspire, educate, and motivate all generations of LGBTQ individuals through a collective knowledge of this international community.
