Andy Ogorzaly

Chicago, IL

Andy Ogorzaly, known to many clients as "Andy O," has been helping people buy and sell homes across Chicagoland since 2010. A REALTOR® with EXIT Strategy Realty and an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist, he combines big-picture market insight with a hands-on, detail-driven style that has earned him a loyal following throughout the city and surrounding suburbs. Andy's foundation is a little different from most agents. He holds a bachelor's degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and he credits that training for the way he reads neighborhoods, values, and the long-term potential of a property. He works across the full spectrum of Chicago real estate, from single-family homes and condominiums to two-to-four-unit multi-family buildings, and he is equally comfortable guiding first-time buyers, move-up sellers, and investors. His service area spans many of Chicago's best-known neighborhoods and nearby towns, including Andersonville, Bucktown, Edgewater, Gold Coast, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Logan Square, River North, Roscoe Village, Uptown and Wicker Park, as well as Evanston, Oak Park and Park Ridge. Wherever the listing, Andy markets it aggressively, using professional video, 360-degree virtual tours and drone photography to give every home a competitive edge. That effort shows up in the results. Andy has been recognized by EXIT Realty Corp. International for his production, was invited to lead a company-wide webinar, and earned the Sapphire Award in 2024 for reaching 250 career transactions. He consistently ranks among the top agents in his office. He is also deeply invested in the communities he serves. Andy has sat on the Wicker Park Bucktown planning, zoning and development committee, served as president of his 303-unit Gold Coast condominium association, and volunteered on the advisory board of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® Young Professionals Network. As a member of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals and the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance, Andy is a proud, affirming advocate for LGBTQ+ buyers and sellers. If you want a Chicago agent who knows the market cold and works relentlessly to market your home, Andy Ogorzaly is ready to help.

Jill Hamilton, REALTOR® at West USA Realty Luxury Division

Chandler, AZ

Jill Hamilton is a fourth-generation Chandler local and a full-time REALTOR® with the Luxury Division of West USA Realty. Five generations of her family have called Arizona home. She grew up here, graduated from Chandler High School, and went on to Arizona State University, where she played four years on the women's tennis team. That long view of the East Valley shapes how she advises clients, because she has watched these neighborhoods change street by street for decades. Before real estate, Jill spent her career in corporate America managing complex supply chains and negotiating with international manufacturers. She brought that discipline with her. She is a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) and a member of the Million Dollar GUILD, and she holds the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) designation. She ranks in the top 3 percent of agents in Arizona. Jill works with buyers, sellers, and investors, and her business spans the full price range, from first homes and townhomes to multimillion-dollar estates. She is equally at home listing a golf course home in south Chandler, walking a first-time buyer through a Gilbert townhouse, or handling a White Mountains cabin for clients who want a second home away from the summer heat. Clients describe her as prepared, direct, and steady, especially when a transaction gets competitive or emotional. She is known for responsiveness, for saying plainly what she thinks a home is worth, and for keeping a deal organized from contract to close. Sellers have posted reviews describing offers within 48 hours of listing and one home listed, sold, and closed in 14 days. She also offers staging consultation as part of her listing service, because she believes the preparation before a home hits the market is where most of the leverage lives. Her service area covers Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and the wider Phoenix East Valley, along with Arizona's White Mountains around Pinetop-Lakeside, Show Low, and Greer. She works with primary residences, second homes, relocations, and investment property. Jill is an LGBTQ+ REALTOR® and a member of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals, where she has been listed as a Chandler agent since 2016. Buyers and sellers who want an agent who understands their household and will advocate for them without needing an explanation will find that here. She is licensed in Arizona (SA665843000) and works out of the West USA Realty office at 1850 E Northrop Blvd in Chandler.

Bakeries

Pigeon Bagels

Pittsburgh, PA

At Pigeon Bagels, we make the kind of bagel worth waking up early for. Every morning in our Squirrel Hill shop at 5613 Hobart Street, we hand-roll our dough, boil it, and bake it the old-fashioned way that gives each bagel its dense, chewy interior and glossy crust. There are no shortcuts here, just time, attention, and a whole lot of dough. Our story started in 2017, when founder Gab Taube began selling bagels at farmers markets and through wholesale accounts around Pittsburgh. She and her crew baked through the night in a borrowed pizzeria kitchen, building a cult following one dozen at a time. Fittingly, Taube is German for pigeon, the humble, hardworking city bird we are proud to be named after. In the summer of 2019, we finally found a roost of our own and opened the doors to our Squirrel Hill storefront. We are a proudly woman-owned bakery, and our shop is certified kosher dairy by the Vaad Harabanim of Greater Pittsburgh. Landing in Squirrel Hill felt like coming home: Gab's grandparents settled in the neighborhood decades ago, and her dad grew up on these very streets. There may be no better bagel neighborhood in Pittsburgh, and we are honored to be part of it. Come in and you will find a spread of bagels, from the classics to the ones we cannot stop experimenting with, plus schmears, whitefish, and other fixings to build your perfect order. We bake fresh pastries too, and pour good coffee to go with them. Everything is made in small batches, so when we sell out, we sell out, which is our favorite problem to have. We are open Wednesday through Monday, 7:30 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon, and closed on Tuesdays to rest up and prep. Orders are take-out, and you can pre-order online or grab what looks good in the case. Whether you are a regular who knows exactly what you want or a first-timer wondering what the fuss is about, we will have a warm bagel waiting. Pull up a spot in line, say hello, and let us feed you. We think you will understand why Pittsburgh keeps coming back to the pigeon.

Bars & Nightlife

Boycott Bar

Phoenix, AZ

Welcome to Boycott, Arizona's last lesbian-owned bar and one of the only Latina-led queer venues in the country. Since 2004, we have held down a corner of Phoenix's Melrose District gayborhood on 7th Avenue, and we are still here because our people keep showing up for one another. Founder Audrey Corley built this place on a simple idea: everyone deserves somewhere they can walk in, exhale, and be exactly who they are. That is what we are, a chosen family and a safe space wrapped inside a good old-fashioned neighborhood bar. We like to say Boycott blends dive-bar charm with feminine energy and great dancing. Cold beer, well-mixed cocktails, and a dance floor that fills up fast. Some nights it is drag, some nights it is a DJ spinning the music you love, and some nights it is pool or bingo in the back room with friends who feel like family. There is always something on the calendar, from themed dance nights to our Under the Rainbow prom and game-day watch parties. Whatever brings you through the door, you will find good drinks, good beats, and good people. Lesbian bars across the country have been fighting to survive for decades, and the pandemic hit our kind of place harder than most. We take real pride in still standing, not as the last of something ending, but as proof that queer community in Arizona is here to stay. Every pour, every dance, every late night is a small act of keeping this space alive for the folks who need it. We are woman-owned, LGBTQ+ owned, and unapologetically ours, but our doors are open to all. Whether you are a longtime regular, new to Phoenix, or just looking for a spot where you belong, you are welcome at Boycott. Come as you are. Bring your crew or come solo and make some new friends at the bar. We are closed Mondays and open the rest of the week into the early hours, so there is plenty of time to find your people on the dance floor. Pull up a stool, order a drink, and stay awhile. This is your bar too.

Se7en Bites

Orlando, FL

Welcome to Se7en Bites, where Southern comfort is a way of life and everything starts from scratch. Tucked into the heart of Orlando's Milk District on North Primrose Drive, our bakeshop and brunch kitchen is the place folks come when they want food that tastes like home, only a little more indulgent. Chef and owner Trina Gregory-Propst built this place around the idea that good food should feel like a hug, so we pile our plates high with the nostalgic dishes we grew up loving and give every one of them a modern twist. Mornings here mean biscuits the size of your fist, buttery and layered, split open for our signature breakfast sandwiches and smothered in sausage gravy. We do brunch the way it was meant to be done, unhurried and generous, with fried chicken, shrimp and grits, cinnamon rolls, and eggs done right. And then there are the pies. Oh, the pies. Our cases stay full of towering meringues, fruit pies, cream pies, and the kind of cakes that make a birthday worth celebrating. If it can be baked, chances are we are baking it fresh and baking it with love. We are proudly LGBTQ+ and woman-owned, and that spirit of welcome sits at the center of everything we do. Every guest who walks through our door is family, whether it is your first visit or your fiftieth. We believe a bakery should be a gathering place, a spot where neighbors linger over coffee, strangers become friends, and nobody leaves hungry or unseen. Se7en Bites grew from a small dream into a beloved Orlando institution, earning recognition along the way, but the heart of it has never changed. We still make everything by hand, still greet regulars by name, and still believe that a slice of pie can turn a bad day around. Come hungry, bring your people, and settle in. Whether you are here for a leisurely weekend brunch, a box of pastries to go, or a whole pie for the table, we will treat you like kin and send you home full. That is the Se7en Bites way, and it always will be.

Real Estate

Scott & Jason Eckhoff

Irvine, CA

Scott and Jason Eckhoff are a married REALTOR® team who built their business, Brix Realty Group in Irvine, around a simple idea: clients deserve two dedicated advocates instead of one. Known to the people they serve as "your REALTOR® duo," they have helped more than 300 families buy and sell homes over the past twelve years, and they bring that combined experience to every transaction. Based in Orange County, the Eckhoffs serve buyers and sellers across Southern California, from the coast at Long Beach and Lakewood to the desert communities of the Coachella Valley, including Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Cathedral City. Their reach extends well beyond one market. Licensed in six states (California, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada and Washington), they are a natural fit for clients relocating in or out of the region, and they have built trusted local partnerships to support moves across the country. As members of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals since 2016, Scott and Jason understand firsthand how much a safe, affirming guide matters when you are making one of life's biggest decisions. They hold the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and At Home With Diversity (AHWD) designations, reflecting a practice built around meeting each client where they are, whether that is a first home, a move up, or a later-in-life transition. When you hire the Eckhoffs, you get a coordinated, two-agent strategy rather than a single point of contact. One is always reachable, showings and paperwork rarely wait, and every offer benefits from two perspectives at the negotiating table. That structure is a real advantage in fast-moving Southern California markets, where responsiveness and preparation often decide who wins the home. Beyond the transaction, the Eckhoffs are approachable and genuinely enjoyable to work with. They host a podcast, "The Real Estate Stories," share their home with three dogs, and love to travel between closings. Clients consistently describe the experience as personal, responsive and refreshingly low-pressure. For LGBTQ+ homebuyers and sellers who want a team that understands them and treats their goals as its own, Scott and Jason Eckhoff offer two sets of hands and one shared commitment.

4 Hens Creole Kitchen

St. Louis, MO

4 Hens Creole Kitchen brings the soul of New Orleans to the heart of St. Louis. We are a woman-owned, Black-owned restaurant founded by four friends and family who moved to St. Louis together and turned a shared love of cooking into a home for real Creole food. Executive chef Brandi Artis leads the kitchen alongside co-owners Brittany Artis, Ebony Evans, and business manager Brittani Gardner-Evans. The four of us are the hens the name honors, and every plate carries a little of who we are. We cook the traditional flavors of Creole food with a modern twist. Everything is made from scratch, right here, from our sauces to our seasonings to our signature Creole cream sauce. Come hungry and start with our Creole Toast, Fried Green Tomatoes, Slapp'n Shrimp, or a basket of Chicken Dawlins. Our mains are built to comfort: Shrimp n' Grits, po' boys stacked high, salmon croquettes, and the crowd-favorite Swamp Thang. Little Chicks keeps the kids happy, we keep vegan guests in mind, and no visit is finished without a bowl of N'awlins Bread Pudding. Chef Brandi got her start in Kansas City and spent years running Simply Delicious Bartending and Catering in Chicago before bringing that experience to St. Louis. She credits this city's own historical ties to Creole and New Orleans cooking as part of the reason it felt right to open here. As she puts it, cooking is just what makes people happy, what brings people joy, and that spirit shows up in the way we feed our guests. You will find us inside the City Foundry STL food hall at 3730 Foundry Way, a lively, family-friendly space where every area is wheelchair accessible, from the entrance and parking lot to the restrooms and seating. Grab a table with friends, bring the whole family, or order to go and take the flavor home. Whether you grew up on Creole cooking or you are tasting shrimp and grits for the very first time, there is a seat and a warm plate waiting for you. We built 4 Hens to be a place where everyone is welcome, and we would love to share a little New Orleans joy with you.

Legal

PLATZ JURIS PLLC

Phoenix, AZ

We protect what you've built. PLATZ JURIS, PLLC is a boutique law firm focused on founder-led and family-led businesses. PLATZ JURIS practices in the areas of business law, intellectual property, civil litigation, and strategic legal counsel (fractional general counsel) for companies, entrepreneurs, creatives, and growth-minded organizations. My legal practice is shaped by more than two decades of private-sector leadership experience before entering the practice of law. Having worked across business operations, governance, finance, sales, public relations, and international management, I bring a practical, inside-the-business perspective to my legal work. I understand that clients do not come to lawyers for abstract answers; they come with real business challenges, reputational risks, financial pressures, disputes, opportunities, and decisions that require judgment. That background allows me to approach legal matters with both precision and context. Whether advising on contracts, protecting intellectual property, guiding business relationships, managing litigation risk, or helping clients navigate complex disputes, my goal is to provide counsel that is clear, strategic, practical, and aligned with the client’s broader objectives. I believe strongly in candor, transparency, preparation, and integrity. Clients deserve to know where they stand, what risks they face, what options are available, and what I recommend — even when the answer is difficult. My role is not simply to advocate zealously, but to help clients make informed decisions with confidence. I also bring an international and multicultural perspective to my work, shaped by years of global professional experience and relationships across industries, markets, and communities. That perspective helps me understand clients not only as legal matters, but as people and businesses operating in a broader commercial and human context. At PLATZ JURIS, my commitment is simple: to deliver thoughtful, responsive, and strategic legal counsel rooted in trust, clarity, and excellence. Licensed in Arizona, Kansas, Minnesota, and Texas.

Education & Training

Modern Mind Labs

Seattle, WA

Modern Mind Labs is a Seattle-founded, globally minded practice built on one belief: emotional intelligence is a skill, and skills can be learned. Co-founded by business and life partners Tay & Val, queer immigrant women originally from Singapore, the studio brings a genuinely intersectional lens to the way people work, lead, and connect. Having lived as part of an ethnic majority in one country and as a minority in another, they understand belonging from the inside out, and they bring that perspective to every room they facilitate. We help companies create workplaces where people can be centered, self-aware, and honest with one another. Our work spans three core areas. For teams and B/ERGs, we design custom programs that deepen trust, strengthen feedback culture, and give groups practical language for collaboration. For executives and emerging leaders, we offer one-on-one emotional intelligence coaching that builds empathy and steadiness under pressure. And through consulting and workshops, we partner with organizations navigating change, growth, and culture-building. Along the way we share simple, memorable tools our participants actually use, from taking three deep breaths to reset, to "Flush Your Bubble" for letting go of stress before it spills onto the people around you. As certified teachers of the globally recognized Search Inside Yourself program for mindfulness-based emotional intelligence and leadership, we ground everything we do in research and lived practice rather than buzzwords. Our approach is wellness-based, DEIB-informed, and culture-coherent, meaning we tailor each engagement to who a team really is, not a one-size-fits-all template. To date, more than 100,000 people across diverse communities have experienced our work, and we have partnered with organizations including Amazon, Booking.com, and VMLY&R across the USA, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Modern Mind Labs is a certified LGBTBE (NGLCC), Minority Business Enterprise (NMSDC), and Washington State OMWBE business, and we are proud of what those credentials represent: a company that reflects the range of people it serves. Whether we are working with a small leadership team or a global enterprise, our aim is the same, to close the gap between the person you are and the leader, colleague, and human you want to be. If you are looking to build a workplace that feels more emotionally intelligent, more inclusive, and more human, we would love to help.

Everett, WA

Welcome to Catalyst Cafe, a bright teal corner on Hewitt Avenue in the heart of downtown Everett. We are a proudly queer-owned coffee shop built to be more than a place to grab a drink. From the day we opened our doors, our mission has been simple: create a sober, family-friendly community space where LGBTQ+ folx, QTBIPOC, and our allies all feel genuinely at home. Order at the counter and settle in. Our baristas pour freshly brewed coffee, espresso classics, matcha lattes, and house italian sodas topped with whipped cream. If you are hungry, we serve breakfast sandwiches and a rotating case of pastries, including cookies and treats from local favorite South Fork Baking Co right here in Everett. We keep vegan and gluten-free options on hand, because everyone deserves something good to eat. Look around and you will see who we are. Local art lines the walls, origami cranes hang near the restroom, and a trans pride flag greets you as part of the furniture, not a seasonal decoration. Shelves of books invite you to stay a while, whether you are catching up with a friend, working through an afternoon, or meeting the neighborhood for the first time. Catalyst is also a gathering place after the coffee cools. We host local performances, karaoke nights, and game nights that turn the room into a small, welcoming stage for Everett's creative and queer community. It is the kind of spot where regulars know each other's names and newcomers are folded in quickly. We believe a cafe can be a catalyst, a starting point for connection, conversation, and community that reaches past the front door. So pull up a chair, try a matcha or a cortado, grab a cookie, and stay as long as you like. However you identify and whoever you bring with you, there is a seat here for you. Come find us on the corner of Hewitt, look for the turquoise siding and the Catalyst sign, and come say hello. We saved you a spot.

At Michael's Cookie Jar, we bake happiness daily, one cookie at a time. From our shop in Houston's Weslayan Plaza, we have grown into a neighborhood favorite for gourmet cookies that cover the full range, from warm, soft-baked chocolate chip to delicate hand-decorated shortbread. Our Oven Fresh Cookies are exactly what they sound like, baked throughout the day so there is always something warm and ready when you walk in. Cookies are all we do, and we love the variety. Our regulars come back for signatures like The HTX Cookie, the snickerdoodle, and our loaded peanut butter cookie packed with peanuts, Reese's Pieces, and caramel popcorn. We bake to the season too, with fresh flavors and themes that rotate through the year, so the case always has something new to discover. Beyond the everyday case, we are proud of our custom and decorated work. Our decorators hand-ice shortbread into wedding cakes, bridal dresses, baby onesies, birthday cakes, and cupcakes, and we love a Texas theme, from spring bluebonnets to Houston Texans and Rodeo cookies. We create custom decorated cookies, custom logo cookies for businesses and events, and custom cookie cakes that make a birthday or celebration feel special. Many of our decorated designs can be ordered straight from our gallery, usually with about two weeks of lead time so we can get every detail right. Everything is baked with love, and that is not just a saying. Walk through our door and you are met with the smell of cookies in the oven and a team that genuinely wants to help you find the perfect treat, whether it is a single cookie for the road, a dozen for the office, or a showpiece cookie cake for a big day. We offer takeout and delivery, plus online ordering, so it is easy to get your favorites however you like. You will find us Monday through Saturday at our Weslayan Plaza bakery, with a second location serving downtown Houston. Come see why so many Houstonians keep their cookie jar full with us. However you take your cookies, warm and simple or decorated and dressed up, we would love to bake them for you.

A Queer Photog

Seattle, WA

I'm Holly Stevens, the queer photographer behind A Queer Photog, a Seattle-based portrait, wedding, and elopement studio working entirely on film. I make heirloom-quality photographs of families, lovers, and friends, and I especially endeavor to document and elevate the lived experience of the queer community, along with other communities that too often face marginalization and erasure. I believe every person should get to feel worthy of being photographed, exactly as they are. I picked up a camera as a pre-teen, and after my first official portrait shoot at fifteen I was hooked on the thrill of photographing people and helping them feel truly seen. That feeling still drives the work. Coming from a background of religious trauma and gender conformity, I am deeply committed to a lifelong healing process, and I bring that same care to the way I hold space for my clients. Sessions with me are unhurried and pressure-free. My imagery is intimate and joyful, exploring anti-perfectionism and radical presence while emphasizing our connection to the land, to each other, and to ourselves. My services include portrait sessions, wedding and elopement coverage, and film photography mentorship for people who want to learn the craft. Whether you are a couple planning an intimate elopement, a growing queer family, or someone who simply wants to be photographed with tenderness and honesty, I would love to make images with you. Accessibility matters to me beyond the frame. I offer payment plans, trades, and solidarity discounts so that cost is less of a barrier for marginalized folks who want to work with me. I want the people I most want to serve to actually be able to reach me. I live and work in Seattle on the unceded traditional lands of the Duwamish people, and I pay monthly reparations through Real Rent Duwamish as one small ongoing act of accountability. As a queer parent, an interdisciplinary artist, and a deeply inquisitive person, I bring my whole self to every shoot, and I invite you to bring yours. If you are looking for a photographer who will treat your story with reverence and never ask you to be anyone but yourself, reach out through my site and let's create something lasting together.

Charlie's Queer Books

Seattle, WA

Welcome to Charlie's Queer Books, Seattle's home for queer books. From our little purple Victorian house in Fremont, we sell books written by LGBTQ+ authors and books that put queer characters, lives, and love front and center. That is the whole shop. Every shelf, from literary fiction and memoir to poetry, graphic novels, sci-fi, and a growing romance section organized by pride flag, is here so you can walk in and find yourself on the page. We started as a mobile book cart in the summer of 2023 before opening our brick-and-mortar doors that November. Our founder, Charlie Hunts, is a man of trans experience who came to bookselling from a background in publishing and brand marketing, and he built this place around a simple idea: queer people deserve a third space that does not revolve around a bar. Somewhere you can browse, sit down, and stay a while. So we made it that kind of room. The walls are pink, the shelves are full, and there is an upstairs reading nook with comfortable chairs when you want to slow down with a book. Banners on the wall say what we mean: you belong here, and being gay is so fun. Alongside the books you will find gifts, stickers, tote bags, zines, jewelry, and apparel, plus a kids and young-reader corner so the youngest readers have shelves of their own. Charlie's is also a gathering place. We host book clubs, author talks, craft nights, and community events, and our meeting room is available to book for groups who need a welcoming space of their own. Over the years these rooms have held everything from a queer silent book club to weddings, and we love that our shop gets to be part of those days. Whether you are hunting for the queer story that finally makes you feel seen, shopping for a gag-worthy gift, or just looking for somewhere that feels like home, we would love to have you. Come find us at 465 N 36th St in Seattle, say hi, and let us match you with your next favorite read.

Charis Books & More

Decatur, GA

Welcome to Charis Books & More, the South's oldest independent feminist bookstore. We opened our doors on November 4, 1974 in Atlanta's Little Five Points neighborhood, founded by Linda Bryant and Barbara Borgman around a simple, radical idea: that a bookstore could be a gift to its community. Our name comes from the Greek word charis, meaning grace or gift, and for more than fifty years we have tried to live up to it. In November 2024 we celebrated our 50th anniversary of feminist bookselling, and we are still going strong. In 2019 we moved from Little Five Points to a purple house at 184 S. Candler Street in Decatur, where we are proud to serve as the official bookstore partner of Agnes Scott College. Our shelves are curated with intention. You will find feminist literature, LGBTQ+ books, work by writers of color, diverse and affirming children's titles, and the kind of hard-to-find voices that big-box stores overlook. Many of our shelves are on wheels, so the space can shift to make room for readers, gatherings, and one another. Charis is more than a store.

Come browse, come listen, come find your next favorite book, and come as you are. We saved you a seat.

Golden Oak Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine

St. Louis, MO

Golden Oak Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine is a small, welcoming clinic in the Dogtown / Clayton-Tamm neighborhood of St. Louis, led by Dr. Kade Stotler, DACM, MSOM, L.Ac. (they/them). We offer acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine rooted in thousands of years of clinical tradition and paired with modern medical research. Our philosophy is simple: Root, Revive, and Thrive. We look for the root of what is out of balance, help your body revive its own capacity to heal, and support you in thriving long after treatment ends. Dr. Stotler trained at Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder and the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, completing well over three thousand hours of hands-on clinical education and passing the national NCCAOM board examinations. That training shows up in careful, individualized care. Every visit begins with listening, because your history, your goals, and your daily life all inform the treatment plan we build together. We treat a wide range of concerns, including sports injuries and chronic pain, digestive complaints, menstrual and menopausal symptoms, fertility challenges, insomnia, stress and emotional health, fatigue, and the lingering effects of long COVID. Adult acupuncture visits run sixty to ninety minutes and may include needling, bodywork, and dietary and lifestyle guidance. For children and needle-sensitive patients, we offer gentle, needle-free pediatric treatments. Herbal consultations are available on their own or alongside acupuncture, with custom formulas tailored to your constitution. We believe good medicine should be accessible. Alongside private sessions, we offer community-style acupuncture on a sliding scale, so that regular care fits more budgets. New patients are welcome to start with a free fifteen-minute consultation to ask questions and see whether we are the right fit before booking. Our treatment room is quiet and unhurried, designed to help you settle, exhale, and let your nervous system downshift. Whether you are managing a stubborn injury, navigating a hormonal transition, or simply looking to feel more like yourself, we would be honored to walk that path with you. To schedule a visit or your free consultation, reach out by phone or email, or book online anytime.

Queer/Bar

Seattle, WA

Welcome to Queer/Bar, the beating heart of nightlife in Seattle's Capitol Hill Queer Arts District. We sit at 1518 11th Ave, right between Pike and Pine, where our doors open Wednesday through Sunday and stay open late. This is a bar built by and for our community, a place where you can show up exactly as you are and find a crowd that has been waiting for you. We have grown into the defacto drag bar of Capitol Hill, and we wear that title with pride. Drag lives here multiple nights every week. Our signature show, Mx., takes the stage every Friday and Saturday with a rotating cast of Seattle's most beloved local queens, often sharing the spotlight with touring performers from RuPaul's Drag Race. When the lights hit and the music drops, the whole room becomes one loud, glittering celebration. But Queer/Bar is more than one show. Across the week you will find karaoke that turns strangers into a chorus, burlesque that keeps things sultry, bingo that gets competitive, and DJ sets that carry you straight through to last call. During Pride, the energy spills out onto the sidewalk and the whole neighborhood feels it. There is always a reason to come back. We pour a full bar with cocktails, beer, and everything in between, and we take reservations if you want to lock in your spot for a big night. We are a 21 and up venue, so bring your ID. Our main floor and restrooms are fully accessible, with gender-neutral facilities, because everyone deserves a comfortable seat at the party. Whether you are a Capitol Hill regular, a first-timer nervous about walking into your first queer space, or a visitor looking for where the community gathers, you belong at Queer/Bar. Come for the drag, stay for the people, and leave already planning your next visit. Pull up a stool, order something strong, and let us remind you why this corner of Seattle has been a home for the LGBTQ+ community for years. The stage is warm and the welcome is warmer.

Nashville, TN

Welcome to The Lipstick Lounge, a bar for humans. We have been East Nashville's home for all people since 2002, when we opened the doors of our 125-year-old building on Woodland Street and invited the whole city inside. We are proudly lesbian-owned, but this has never been a place for just one kind of person. Gay, straight, trans, questioning, out-of-towners and regulars, first-timers and folks who have been coming for twenty years: come as you are, no matter what you are. You will always be welcome here. We are best known for one thing above all else, karaoke, and we mean it. There is karaoke every single night, so whether you sing like a star or sing like nobody is listening, the mic is yours. Between songs you will find drag shows, drag bingo, trivia, DJ sets, dancing, live music, and watch parties for the shows and games everybody is arguing about. Weekend mornings we slow it down with brunch, and warm nights spill out onto our patio, where the conversations run as long as the drinks. Our two rooms, the Lipstick and the Chapstick, give you room to roam. Shoot pool, throw darts, grab a bite from our kitchen, or just claim a stool at the bar and let our bartenders take care of you. The walls tell stories, the neon glows red, and the famous big red lips out front have become one of the most photographed spots in the neighborhood. More than a bar, we have always tried to be a safe harbor. We show up for our community, we speak up when it matters, and we keep the lights on for anyone who needs a place to belong for the night. That is the heart of this house: acceptance first, judgment never. So pour into a booth with your people, put your name in for a song, and stay a while. This is your bar. This is a bar for humans. This is The Lipstick Lounge, and there is always a seat for you.

We are proudly Black, woman, LGBTQ+, and veteran owned, and everything on our shelves reflects the people and values behind it. We believe the things you bring into your home and wear on your body should mean something, so we curate with intention, favoring handcrafted work over the mass-produced and choosing makers whose stories matter as much as their craft. Step inside and you will find a little of everything, all chosen by hand. Our jewelry ranges from sterling silver rings and earrings to one-of-a-kind vintage lace pieces, each with its own character. In home goods you will discover recycled glass charcuterie boards in soft ambers and blushes, handmade serving trays and dishes, candles, and art that carries real local spirit.

What ties it all together is a commitment to sustainability and social good. We seek out sustainably made, upcycled, and eco-friendly products, and we lean toward local artisans, culturally diverse creators, and small businesses whenever we can. Shopping with us is a way to support those makers directly, to keep dollars circulating in creative communities, and to fill your home with pieces that were built to last rather than to be thrown away. Trunc is meant to feel like a discovery. No two visits look quite the same, because our selection shifts with the seasons and with the makers we meet. Whether you are hunting for a gift that says more than a gift card ever could, treating yourself to a piece of handmade jewelry, or picking up a bottle of hot sauce with a story behind it, you will find something here made with care.

At Hex Appeal Hair Studio, hair is not just an accessory, it is a canvas for self-expression. Tucked into Suite 7 at 5434 North Clark Street in Chicago, this by-appointment-only studio is where creativity and craft meet a little bit of magic. The studio is led by Kelsey, who cheerfully describes herself as the finest queer hair witch in all of Chicagoland. With 15 years behind the chair, Kelsey brings both technical mastery and a genuine love of the work to every appointment. Whether you are after a soft, natural refresh or a bold, fashion-forward transformation, the goal is always the same: a look that feels unmistakably like you. Color is a specialty here. From hand-painted, lived-in tones to vivid all-over fashion colors in every shade imaginable, Hex Appeal designs color that grows out beautifully and stays fresh over time. Curly hair is another point of pride. Cuts are shaped to work with your natural texture, not against it, so your style keeps its shape long after you leave the chair. Haircuts at Hex Appeal are gender-free, because great hair has nothing to do with a label. Alongside cuts and color, the studio offers styling and treatment extras to keep your hair healthy, happy, and camera-ready. Everything is done with vegan practices in mind, a small but meaningful reflection of the care that runs through the whole experience. Because Hex Appeal is a private, appointment-only studio, every visit is unhurried and focused entirely on you. New clients are warmly welcomed, and memberships are available for those who like to keep their look consistently on point. There is even merch for anyone who wants to carry a little of that Hex Appeal energy home. If you have been searching for a stylist who treats your hair like art and your visit like a ritual, Hex Appeal Hair Studio is ready to work some magic.

St. Louis, MO

We are MoKaBe's, South City's queer owned and operated coffeehouse, sitting at the corner of Arsenal and Grand right across from historic Tower Grove Park. For years we have been the kind of place where you can settle in for the whole afternoon, whether you are cramming for an exam, catching up with old friends, or just needing a warm mug and a window to watch the neighborhood go by. The rainbow flag out front is not decoration. It is a promise that everyone has a seat at our table. Our coffee is made with locally roasted Chauvin coffee, and we pour it every way we know how. Order a classic latte or cappuccino, try our house Flagstaff with espresso and coffee together, warm up with a London Fog or a chai, or cool off with a Vietnamese iced coffee, a specialty iced latte, or an ice cream shake or float. If you need a jolt, our Zinger and Mudslide have you covered. We serve breakfast and lunch daily, and we take real pride in feeding everybody. That means plenty of vegan and vegetarian options right alongside our heartier plates, plus a rotating case of delicious desserts for whenever you have earned a treat. Breakfast runs every morning until noon, so there is no rush to catch it. Comfort here is not just about the food. We are fully accessible, with ramps, seating, and restrooms designed so that getting in and getting settled is easy for everyone. Out back you will find our dog-friendly patio, because a good coffeehouse should welcome your whole crew, four legs included. More than a cafe, we have always thought of ourselves as a gathering place and a home for community. This corner of St. Louis has room for study groups, first dates, activists, artists, parents with strollers, and folks who just want somewhere kind to be. That spirit is baked into everything we do. Find us Tuesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 3 PM. We are closed on Mondays so our team can rest and come back ready to pour you something good. Stop in, grab a cup of Chauvin, and stay a while.

Nobody's Darling

Chicago, IL

Be nobody's darling. We took our name from Alice Walker's poem, an anthem for the world's outcasts and free spirits, and built a cocktail bar in Andersonville where everybody who has ever felt like nobody's darling finally belongs. We are Angela Barnes and Renauda Riddle, two Black, queer women who wanted a room that felt like us: a little Sunday-morning Nina Simone, a little classy and sexy, and always warm enough to linger in. Tucked on the corner of Balmoral and Ravenswood, our space glows red and gold beneath orbiting chandeliers, with a striking silhouette watching over the back bar. Pull up a stool at the long counter and let our bartenders take it from there. The cocktails are the heart of the house, stirred and shaken with intention, and whenever we can we pour spirits made by Black- and queer-owned distillers, because who makes the bottle matters as much as what is inside it. This is a neighborhood joint first. Come for a quiet weeknight nightcap, a first date that runs long, or a Saturday that turns into a whole night with friends. Some evenings the room hums low and easy; others it fills with laughter, music, and the clink of coupes being carried down the bar. Either way, you will find the same thing: honest drinks, no pretense, and a crowd as beautifully mixed as the menu. We opened in 2021 with a simple idea, that a bar can be a home for people too often left out of the party, and the city seemed to agree. A James Beard Award nod followed, along with a steady stream of regulars who became family. But the accolades were never the point. The point is the person walking in alone who leaves knowing a bartender's name, the couple who claim a corner as their own, the strangers who become friends over a shared last round. So consider this your invitation. Whoever you are, however you love, whatever you carried in with you, there is a seat here with your name on it. Be bold. Be free. Be nobody's darling but your own.

Hammered Lamb

Orlando, FL

For more than a decade, The Hammered Lamb poured cold beer and stiff Bloody Marys on the corner of Orange Avenue and the train tracks in Ivanhoe Village, and Orlando loved us for it. We were the neighborhood's loud, welcoming, wonderfully weird patio bar, a place where the drinks flowed until 2am every night and nobody cared what team you rooted for or who you brought home. Our banner said it plainly: great drinks and really great food, booze and eats until close. Weekends belonged to brunch. We built what regulars swore was the best Bloody Mary bar in Orlando, and we backed it up with $5 mimosas, $5 red sangria and $8 Bloody Marys from 10am to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday. Beer people had it good too. Twenty drafts on tap, more than seventy-five beers to choose from, and a dollar off every draft Monday through Thursday from 7pm to 2am. Happy hour ran 4 to 7, Monday through Friday, and if the freight train rolled past while you were on the patio, that meant free train shots for the house. The patio was the heart of it. String lights strung over the palms, a fenced yard just off Orange Ave, room to sprawl with friends and strangers who quickly became friends. We threw ourselves into the community that made us, hosting Equality Florida nights and standing proudly as one of the area's LGBTQ+ friendly gathering spots. Live music, holiday parties, charity fundraisers: if it brought people together over a good drink, we said yes. The food matched the mood, honest bar fare done right, from weekend brunch plates to late-night eats meant to soak up whatever you had been drinking. We were never fancy, and that was the point. The Hammered Lamb was a come-as-you-are kind of place. Please note: after more than ten years in Ivanhoe Village, The Hammered Lamb served its final day on January 25, 2025, and has permanently closed. The website is no longer active. We remain grateful to every guest, bartender and neighbor who made 1235 N. Orange Ave feel like home. Thanks for all the mornings, all the nights, and every train shot in between.

Women & Children First

Chicago, IL

Women & Children First has been a home for readers, writers, and thinkers in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood since 1979. When Ann Christophersen and Linda Bubon founded the store, they were two young feminists frustrated that the books they wanted to read and study, works by and about women, were so hard to find. They built the shelves themselves, stocked them with feminist and children's literature, and set out to create a space where women's voices sat at the center rather than the margins. More than four decades later, that mission still guides everything we do. Today we are one of the largest feminist bookstores in the United States, carrying roughly 30,000 titles across feminist writing, fiction and poetry, children's and young adult books, LGBTQ+ literature, memoir, politics, cookbooks, art, parenting, and more. We hand-sell the books we love and take pride in helping every reader find the next story that will move them. Our children's section, a favorite among Andersonville families, makes up a meaningful share of what we do, because a lifelong love of reading often starts young. We are also a gathering place. Over the years our events have welcomed voices ranging from Gloria Steinem, Margaret Atwood, and Alice Walker to former President Jimmy Carter, alongside countless debut authors reading in public for the first time. Following renovations that added dedicated event and community space, we host readings, book groups, author panels, and neighborhood gatherings throughout the year. Our 40th anniversary block party filled the street with the community that has sustained us. Under longtime owners Lynn Mooney and Sarah Hollenbeck, we remain proudly independent and deeply rooted in the values we opened with: amplifying women authors, championing intellectual freedom, and building community around books. Whether you are browsing for an afternoon, bringing a child to storytime, or joining us for an evening with a favorite writer, you will find a welcoming, accessible space at 5233 N. Clark Street. Stop in, say hello, and let us help you find your next great read. We have been keeping women and children first for a long time, and we are glad you are here.

Phoenix Coquí

Phoenix, AZ

Bienvenidos to Phoenix Coqui, where every plate carries a piece of Puerto Rico. We are a proud family-owned kitchen, started by Alexis and Juan, who grew up in Toa Alta and carried their island recipes all the way to the Arizona desert. What began in a home kitchen back in 2013 grew into a food truck in 2017, and in February 2022 we finally planted roots with our own brick-and-mortar home on North 15th Avenue. Every step of that journey has been about one thing: sharing real Puerto Rican food with warm service that feels like family. When you walk through our doors, we want you to taste the island the way we do. Our mofongo is the heart of the menu, that unmistakable garlicky mash of green plantains, piled high and served your way, from shrimp to our slow-roasted pernil. We fry our empanadillas until they are golden, layer our pastelon into a sweet-and-savory comfort you will not forget, and simmer our pollo a la criolla in the kind of sofrito that only comes from generations of practice. For a sweet finish, our quesitos bring that flaky, creamy bite that reminds so many of our guests of home. Everything we serve comes from family recipes, made from scratch with the same care our abuelas taught us. We did not learn this cooking from a book. We learned it in real kitchens, surrounded by loud music, good company, and the smell of adobo in the air. That spirit is what we try to bottle up and pour into every order, whether you are dining in, grabbing takeout on your lunch break, or letting us cater your next celebration. We are more than a restaurant. We are a little corner of Puerto Rico in the middle of Phoenix, and being recognized by Phoenix Magazine as a favorite Puerto Rican spot only makes us want to cook harder for you. Stop by, say wepa, and let us feed you like one of our own. Whether it is your first taste of the island or a bite that brings you back to childhood, we cannot wait to welcome you to the table. Parking is in the rear, and a warm plate is always waiting.

Giampolo Law Group

Philadelphia, PA

Giampolo Law Group is an LGBTQ-owned firm founded by Angela Giampolo, practicing across Pennsylvania and New Jersey from offices in Philadelphia and Mount Laurel. Giampolo describes the firm as an LGBTQ+ law firm focused on helping the community it is a part of, and works publicly as a gay rights advocate under the name @yourgaylawyer. The practice is unusually broad for a firm of this focus: estate planning, family law including divorce, custody and prenuptial agreements, business law and formation, real estate, litigation, and a dedicated LGBTQ+ practice covering adoptions, immigration, name changes and transgender law. That breadth means a client is rarely handed off at the point where one legal problem turns into two, which for LGBTQ+ clients happens more often than it should. The firm also runs Caravan of Hope, an initiative aimed at making legal services reachable for LGBTQ+ people outside the cities, particularly in rural Pennsylvania. Distance is a real barrier in this area of law, because the people most likely to need a name change order or a second-parent adoption are often the least likely to have an affirming firm within driving distance. Virtual services are offered for the same reason. Giampolo has been named a Super Lawyer across several years and writes and broadcasts regularly on LGBTQ+ legal and political questions.

Maestri Studio

Dallas, TX

Maestri Studio is a full-service architecture and interior design firm founded in Dallas in 2008 by Eddie Maestri, AIA. From our home in Exposition Park, the neighborhood tucked between the east end of Deep Ellum and the grand entrance to Fair Park, we design residences and spaces that express individuality, personality, and character. Our philosophy is simple: thoughtfully tailored, beautifully curated, design for the way you actually live. We bring architecture, interior architecture, interior design, and landscape design together under one roof, so every project is considered from the structure out to the finishes and the grounds. That integrated approach lets us shape homes that feel cohesive and intentional, whether the work is a ground-up build, a full renovation, or a room reimagined. We believe good design should be personal, so we start with how you live and build outward from there, layering art, color, texture, and one-of-a-kind pieces that make a space unmistakably yours. Over the years our work has been recognized well beyond Dallas. Projects and perspectives from the studio have been featured by Architectural Digest, Veranda, HGTV, Aspire, Design Milk, and CBS, and the firm has taken part in celebrated design events including the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Those milestones reflect a team that treats every commission, large or small, with the same care and craft. Design is only part of the story. Our love of art, modern furnishings, and the unique also lives on through Shop Maestri, a curated collection of pieces and collaborations that carry the studio's point of view into your own home. It is an extension of the same instinct that drives our interiors: surrounding people with objects that have meaning, beauty, and a little bit of the unexpected. Today Maestri Studio works from both Dallas and Los Angeles, but our roots and our sensibility remain firmly Texan. We are a studio built on the belief that where you live should reflect who you are. If you are ready to create a space that is genuinely yours, thoughtfully designed and beautifully made, we would love to hear about it.
