History isn’t just what we remember — it’s what we’re allowed to remember. When the government deletes words like transgender from the Stonewall Monument or scrubs queer veterans from military archives, it’s not cleanup. It’s erasure. And in a country that already treats queer lives as expendable, silence is strategy.
Our first Encounter begins at the dinner table—an intimate, emotional simulation where you come out to your family and feel every reaction in real time. It’s immersive, raw, and the first step in building a more empathetic world. We’re inviting the queer community to help us choose what comes next.
I didn’t start Queer Reflection to build another platform—I built it because I needed a way to survive the silence, the misunderstanding, and the distance between queer lives and the world’s willingness to feel them. This is more than tech. It’s a love letter, a mirror, and a spark.
