An Inclusive Streaming Platform Revolutionizing Q***r Storytelling & Living
(1)
Our q***r youth are under attack and it's our job as q***r adults and leaders in the q***r community to stand in the gap and make sure history doesn't have a chance to repeat itself. We are starting with accessibility and education! Follow The Bow to see how we're bridging the gap ensuring q***r voices have a true seat at the table. 🌈
Everyone loves a good origin story and this is ours. Follow to see how it unfolds 📖
"Every single courageous act of coming out chips away at the curse of homophobia. Most importantly it's destroyed within yourself, and the act creates the potential for its destruction where it exists in friends, family and society." Anthony Venn-Brown OAM.
Happy national coming out day from all of us at . No matter where you are at in your journey know that you are not alone.

If you wonder, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?”, our response is simple: “Why not you?”
When we allow our own light to shine, we unconsciously grant permission to others to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our very presence becomes a force of liberation for all 🩷

Let’s be honest, the media is rife with misinformation and fear-mongering these days. Here at The Bow, our mission is to provide accurate information and dispel myths. Countless studies have shown that education fosters tolerance, not conversion. By increasing awareness and understanding, we aim to nurture a more accepting generation and ensure the safety and well-being of our q***r youth.

We want to extended a heartfelt thank you to all of those who were able to make it to our launch event on August 24th! This endeavour has been three years in the making and it was beyond special to have our community there to celebrate with us on a night that was truly magic ✨

Q***r stories are often put into a heteronormative box to be made palatable for a straight audience. While this kind of content has helped normalize the q***r experience to a larger audience, we aim to highlight unedited q***r stories that feel authentic to us!

Creating a space to learn, to be entertained, to get paid, to give back, to connect with others, to heal, to dance, to explore, to call home - that's The Bow!
We are one day away from our launch event. We would love to see you there and celebrate q***r joy and q***r stories but we know not everyone can make it. If you can't make our event but want to support our cause, please check out our INDIEGOGO campaign which is the second link in our bio.
We are calling on the support of our community to help us realize our vision of a brighter future for q***r youth. Know that any donation directly contributes to uplifting 2SLGBTQI+ individuals across the globe.

Meet Matthew McLaughlin, the founder of The Bow!
“Growing up, the q***r content I watched on TV validated my experiences and gave me hope to know that in time I’d be able to live the life I saw reflected in these stories.” said our founder Matthew James McLaughlin “However, as most 2SLGBTQI+ content is hidden behind a paywall many young people today aren’t as fortunate. Through both our original programming and interactive functions, we hope that q***r youth feel seen and supported by our platform, empowering them to live their authentic life from the very beginning.”
Q***r liberation is a universal movement, impacting all segments of our society, across racial, cultural and socioeconomic boundaries. Supporting this cause holds the potential to become a unifier in today’s diverse social climate. Together, we prove that than anything that seeks to divide us.
Come celebrate love with us on August 24th at The Bow Launch Party! Ticket link in bio.
Join us for an unforgettable evening and be among the first to see how The Bow Platform will revolutionize both q***r storytelling and q***r living! We will have live music, dance and drag performances with our headliner Billy Porter at the historic El Mocambo on August 24th. Visit the link in bio for tickets.
We can't wait to see you there!🌈
Did you know that only a handful of executives control over 90% of the media we consume today? To be honest, the reason we don’t see ourselves represented on screen is because we don’t see ourselves represented in those positions of power. At The Bow, we’re writing our own narrative and giving q***r voices a true seat at the table!
“The Bow will tell q***r stories by q***r creators. We are thrilled to be the platform that allows for q***r voices to have a true seat at the table.” said The Bow Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Advisor Billy Porter. “It’s my mission to create equity within mainstream media and The Bow is making that happen.”
What's in a name? The Bow, as in the end of the rain(bow), symbolizes unity. Bows, as physical objects, bring things together and represent celebration. Our platform embodies these pillars of diversity, unity, and celebration. So come join the party and celebrate q***r joy with us!
The Bow is an inclusive 2SLGBTQI+ streaming service made FOR q***r people BY q***r people! We're offering high quality q***r focused content while also bringing you a user experience like no other, with integrated social media functions and interactive resources. And guess what? We're not hiding behind a paywall, making The Bow accessible to those who need it most.
Let's revolutionize q***r living together and create connection on a global scale! 🌈

Inclusive content is for everyone 🫶. Unfortunately a lot of the queer content created today is not serving their intended communities. Queer stories are often put into a heteronormative box to remain palatable for a straight audience. While this kind of content has helped normalize the queer experience to a larger audience, we aim to highlight unedited queer stories that feel authentic to us. Follow @thebowplatform on our journey to bring inclusive content to everyone 🌈.
