Networking and Dating Opportunities to Ten New States in its Next

NEW YORK, March 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on remarkable early
success, recently launched LGBTQutie.com has announced an expansion
into ten new states; residents of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana
now have access to the powerful features and rapidly growing community
of this revolutionary dating and social networking site.

"As membership within our site has been skyrocketing, we are happy to
share the news that we will be available throughout the U.S. by the
beginning of summer," remarked Rachel Kimelman, co-founder of
LGBTQutie.com.
New members of LGBTQutie.com are encouraged to fill out a Relationship
Readiness Quiz. This recommended assessment tool helps members
understand their own goals, whether that's social networking or the
search for a significant other. As a second step, anyone can complete
the optional LGBTQuestionnaire, which reveals potential compatibility
with other members without creating any obligation or restricting
search functionality.
Unlike many relationship sites, LGBTQutie.com doesn't try to
pigeon-hole members into pre-determined categories. For one thing, the
site isn't only for those in search of romantic relationships.
LGBTQutie.com also functions as a traditional social network, enabling
members to make new friends or coordinate events in their community.
Basic membership with LGBTQutie.com is free and provides enough
features to set one on the path toward love or friendship. A paid
premium membership opens up a bevy of additional search options, a
"wink" feature, initiating instant messaging and video chat, and the
ability to upload as many as 200 photos. Premium members can also
change their username, play internet games with other members and see
who has viewed their profile.
With the Millennial generation becoming increasingly vocal in
politics, mainstream American society has been gradually shifting away
from conservatism. Within the LGBT community, that's meant increasing
acceptance without fear of backlash. Nowhere is that shift more
evident than in the success of marriage equality movements. Indeed,
it's only a matter of time before marriage equality becomes ratified
everywhere. Considering these tectonic shifts, the founders of
LGBTQutie.com concluded that the time was ripe for a dating site
catering to adults in the LGBT community looking for more than casual
hookups.
After an official launch in November 2013, LGBTQutie.com has earned a
significant and loyal following; thousands of members have already
registered, and the official Facebook page has more than 13,000
"likes" and counting.
About LGBTQutie.com
As members of the LGBTQ community, the LGBTQutie.com founders have
been on numerous dating sites over the years. Being a part of this
community, finding romantic relationships or just making new friends
can be frustrating. Most LGBT online dating sites are not inclusive of
everyone in the community and focus mostly on "hook ups." The mission
of LGBTQutie.com is to provide a haven for those in search of
meaningful romantic relationships and friendships.
