The pandemic has “done a number” on everyone. For the past two years, people all over the world have suffered isolation – the closing of gyms, bars, restaurants, and more. For the LGBTQ+ community, socializing and meeting up with others, whether for hookups, casual dating, or more serious relationship-seeking, isolation has been hard. They have turned to online dating apps to reach out to others. And one of these apps is Taimi.

What do you think of when you think of the LGBTQ community and fashion? From Billy Porter to Jojo Siwa, some of the biggest fashion icons of this century are also part of the queer community. Queer people in fashion is by no means a new concept, though. In fact, the LGBTQ community has been slicing its way through the fashion industry despite anti-LGBTQ laws and sometimes even fear for their lives since well before Porter and Siwa came onto the scene. In fact, it’s because the gay trendsetters of yesteryear worked so hard that we can lace up our thigh-high boots and tie in our giant bows with confidence.
