Gaymocracy Enter the city

A virtual country for LGBTQ+ people and allies

A calm little city where you can be yourself.

Become a citizen, get your passport and walk into the park. Meet people, sit together, talk, make friends. It runs in your browser and it is free.

Become a citizen A nickname is enough. No real name. Adults only (18+).
The Central Square of Gaymocracy: a white stone park with a round pool and a white unicorn statue with a rainbow horn, benches with coloured cushions, a pastel rainbow path, the Citizens' Hall, a stage under rainbow arches and the brick Museum, with four citizens meeting.
Central Square A park with a pool, a unicorn, benches, and a stage under rainbow arches. Around it: the Café, the Citizens' Hall and the Museum.

What you do there

Nothing to win. Just people to meet.

No quests, no combat, no levels. You walk around, you say hello, and you stay as long as you like.

Two citizens sitting side by side on a bench by the pool. A speech bubble above one of them says: This park is lovely.

Walk in and sit down next to someone

Click the ground to walk. Click a cushion to sit. Wave at the person across the pool, or dance. What you type appears in a small bubble above your head, so talking feels like being there.

The Café: a bright room with a wooden counter, long oak tables with stools, and three citizens sharing a table. One says: Yass Queen Chai for me.

Take a seat at The Café

The Café is its own room, with long oak tables. Each table is its own conversation. Order a drink at the counter (they are free, and the menu has a sense of humour), and read the headlines of LGBTQ+ news from around the world at the news stand.

The Museum: a white gallery with a dark floor. On the walls, paintings and photographs in oak frames, among them Walt Whitman, The Horse Fair and Oscar Wilde, and the transgender flag on a standing board. Two citizens look at the pieces.

Walk through the Museum

Behind a front that remembers the Stonewall Inn, a gallery of our history: Sappho, Anne Lister, Oscar Wilde, the pink triangle, the first rainbow flag and more. Walk up to a piece to read its story. Some you can listen to, one you can watch.

A citizen standing by the pool, next to the white unicorn statue. A conversation is open: the citizen asked who Marsha P. Johnson was, and the unicorn answers in a few sentences.

Ask the Unicorn

The unicorn in the pool talks. It is an AI, and it says so. Ask it about LGBTQ+ history, rights around the world, culture, or for a joke. It can be wrong, so for anything legal or about your health it points you to real organisations.

Make friends

Add someone as a friend. Next time, you can see where they are in the city and join them in one click, or write to them in private.

Come to events

Events have a host, a place and a time. Say you are coming, then show up and find the others there.

Safety and privacy

Nobody needs to know who you are.

For some of us, being recognised in a place like this can cost a job, a family, or more. So the city asks for very little, and shows even less.

How it works

Three small steps, then you are in.

  1. Pick a nickname

    Sign up with a nickname and an email. The email only confirms your account.

  2. Become a citizen

    At the Citizens' Hall you choose your look, take a short pledge, and your passport is stamped. It takes a minute.

  3. Walk into the square

    The doors open on the park. Say hello, or just sit by the pool for a while.

It works in the browser, on a computer or a phone. Nothing to install.

Gaymocracy on a phone: a citizen at the pool of the Central Square, with the little map, the chat box and the buttons Chat, Wave, Dance, Friends, Events and Places below.
A passport of Gaymocracy: a picture of the citizen, the name Robin, citizen number 12, the date, the pronouns she/her, a line about her, and two ink stamps: Citizen and Citizens' Hall.

Every citizen gets a passport: a number, the day you joined, and stamps from the places you visit. Your pronouns and a line about you are optional.

A few of the looks: six styles, and you choose the skin, hair and outfit colours

Early days

This is a small prototype. We would rather tell you.

The city is young and still small: a square, a café, a hall and a museum. Some hours it may be quiet. Come anyway, and tell us what you would like to find here: hello@gaymocracy.com.
