Zoe is a dating and social app for lesbian, bisexual, and queer women, home to more than 7.2 million members around the world. Our editorial team writes and reviews the guides in the Zoe Glossary and across our blog: plain, judgment-free explanations of the language, questions, and experiences that come up in queer women’s dating.
Our articles are produced by Zoe’s in-house editorial team and reviewed before publishing. We write from inside the community we serve, and our perspective is shaped by the millions of queer women who use Zoe every day. When a topic touches on identity, coming out, or mental health, we treat it with the care it deserves.
We aim to get the facts right and to be honest about what is settled and what is contested. Where a term has a documented origin, we trace it and link to authoritative sources so you can read further. We separate widely repeated claims from well-evidenced ones, and we would rather say “there is no single answer” than invent one.
