Building on a long history of community and connection, LGBTQ-owned business directories serve as valuable resources for consumers looking to support businesses that align with their values and for LGBTQ entrepreneurs seeking to connect with like-minded organizations and customers. A variety of LGBTQ-owned business directories are available, ranging from national directories where customers can locate businesses to more networking-based directories geared toward business owners.

Here are six LGBTQ-owned business directories for business owners and customers to connect and support queer-friendly small businesses.

Intentionalist

Intentionalist stresses spending your money with intention and supporting the businesses that matter to you. The site provides users with a list of local LGBTQ-owned small businesses they can incorporate into their daily lives. Their easy-to-navigate map feature allows you to find a spot near you or even pick out a few to visit if you’re planning an upcoming trip. Each business is also listed with tags like “family-owned” or “minority-owned” to give users a full picture of the business. If you don’t see one of your favorite queer-owned businesses, you can suggest a business to be included.
