Group chats can help you make plans more easily and stay connected to friends, regardless of where they live or how busy your schedules are.[1]
But chatting isn’t just an easy way to connect. It can also help you develop social skills, expose you to different perspectives, and help you gain new knowledge and creativity.[2]

How to Create Your Own Gay/LGBTQ+ Group Chat Names
Keep the following tips in mind to create your own gay/LGBTQ+ group chat names:
- Get inspiration from popular culture. The best group chat names will be quite obviously created by and for an LGBTQ+ group. The community has its own unique slang and cultural references (such as songs and TV shows), which you can use to inspire your team name.
- Get inspiration from your group. Your group chat name doesn’t have to make sense to everyone — just your close circle! If you have any inside jokes or special memories with your friends, use them to inspire your group chat name. This will give you a more unique name if you’d prefer to avoid the usual pop culture references and puns.
- Use your unique sense of humor. Humor really varies depending on the person and the group. Some of us are sarcastic, while others are sensitive and can’t stand crude humor. Choose something that’s funny to you and your group — or be cautious what you choose if you don’t all share the same sense of humor!
