Why is my event on Gaytherings, and how do I claim it?

If you're seeing an event you organized on Gaytherings and you didn't post it, here's what's going on.

Why it's here

We aggregate LGBTQIA+ event listings from public sources so people can find them in one place. Your community is already looking here, and an event people can't find is an event people don't attend.

Your content is yours

We want to be unambiguous about this. We don't own your imagery, your descriptions, or anything else you've made. We don't license it, claim rights over it, or pretend it came from us. All of it stays yours.

A listing is a signpost pointing at your event. We're helping people find you, not taking anything from you.

What claiming gets you

Control, accuracy, and reach.

When we build a listing from a public source, our team is working with whatever that source says. If it doesn't spell out what kind of event it is or who it's for, we make our best guess. Sometimes we get it right. Sometimes a party for one part of our community gets filed somewhere close but not quite.

Claiming ends the guessing. You set the categories, the tags, the community focus, the description, and everything else that decides who finds it. Nobody knows who your event is for better than you do.

A claimed event also reaches further. Listings under a registered organizer account rank better, because we know who's behind them and we can be confident the details are current. That's the difference between a listing that exists and a listing that fills a room.

Beyond the individual event, an organizer account opens up ticketing at better rates than most platforms charge, a public organizer profile, attendee management, promotion tools, and real numbers on how your events perform.

Claiming is free. It doesn't commit you to selling tickets with us, and you can remove the event once it's yours.

How claiming works

We verify every claim manually. Here are steps:

1. Tap "Claim this event" on the listing and we'll give you a verification code.
2. Post the code somewhere that proves you control the event's public presence: your Instagram bio, your website, or your next event description.
3. Tell us where you put it, with a link and a note on where to look.
4. Submit. We check within 24 to 48 hours and reply by email.

Keep the code visible until your claim is approved. Once it's confirmed, the event transfers to your account and you can take the code down.

If a claim looks off, we may contact the official pages directly before approving it. That's the point of the process.

If you'd rather it wasn't listed

Email support@gaytherings.com and we'll take it down.
