RELIGION NEWS – June 7 – Believr started out as a dating app but transformed into a broader community. 'I believe the LGBTQ+ Christian space is much bigger than people realize or think,' said the founder. Adam Evers created the app he'd been longing for. As a gay Christian, he felt caught between two worlds. In LGBTQ spaces, his faith was often an obstacle, because so many in the community have been hurt by churches that believe same-sex relationships contradict Scripture.

Believr Dating App Is for Gay Christians
COLORADO SPRINGS INDEPENDENT – Mar 6 – A new LGBTQ Christian dating app named "believr" will be launching this year. But how does one identify as queer and Christian? "This mentality that the two identities cannot cohabitate in one person presents unique struggles for someone identifying as both, including myself and my friend," said Adam Evers, believr's founder and CEO. "I often find I'm too gay for the Christians and too Christian for LGBTQ+ circles," Adam shares. The platform is planning on going old-school, with chat rooms like the legendary AOL, as well as value-based matching where you can find a partner who has a similar outlook on life.
