LGBTQ+-owned and LGBTQ+-serving businesses, organizations, and community spaces across the whole state. Every listing is reviewed by our team before it goes live, and a basic listing is always free.
Being listed here is not an endorsement by Q Minnesota. Featured listings are paid placements and are labeled as such. Paid placement never affects our news coverage. How this directory works
Businesses, practices, and organizations in Minnesota that are LGBTQ+-owned, or that serve the LGBTQ+ community as a core part of what they do. Anyone can submit a listing. Our team reviews every submission before it appears here and confirms the business exists as described.
A basic listing is free and always will be. Featured listings are a paid upgrade that buys visibility, not approval: paying does not change whether a listing is accepted, how it is categorized, or how Q Minnesota covers the business in our reporting.
When the directory has a sponsor, the sponsor is labeled at the top of this page. The sponsor helps cover the cost of running the directory and has no say in which businesses are listed, how they are reviewed, or how we cover them.
An LGBTQ+-owned or BIPOC-owned checkmark means the owner told us that themselves and chose to share it publicly. We never assign these labels, we don’t publish anyone’s identity without their say-so, and a business can add or remove a checkmark at any time. Sharing is optional and has no effect on whether a business is listed.
Our review confirms a business exists as described. It does not tell us who owns it, which is why the checkmarks come from owners directly. This step is free and open to any listed business, whether or not it pays for Featured.
We recheck listings on a regular schedule and remove ones that have closed or no longer meet our standards.
Businesses close, move, and change hands. If a listing is out of date, tell us and we will fix it. Report an outdated or incorrect listing
