Social media platforms have the potential to create inclusive safe spaces for members of the LGBTQ+ community which they cannot always find in the real world. During the COVID-19 pandemic, one digital platform – TikTok – has greatly grown in popularity, so LGBTQ+ people have created a community on there meant to provide support and help, share advice, spread information, challenge stereotypes and fight discrimination. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of TikTok as a platform for teaching about the LGBTQ+ community, promoting positive attitudes about it and creating a safe online space for free expression of LGBTQ+ people. This paper includes definitions of LGBTQ+ terms and explanations of LGBTQ+ identity development. Current relevant research on the ways in which LGBTQ+ people use social media platforms is presented, and part of the work focuses more closely on TikTok. TikTok’s potential in creating an inclusive space is qualitatively researched using the method of digital ethnography, while the results are analysed through thematic analysis. The analysis presents four main topics that LGBTQ+ users of TikTok address the most: fight against discrimination, process of coming out, identity development and community support. The results show that TikTok provides the freedom to express your own opinion and identity and serves as a space of inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community, but the ways in which these findings are to be applied outside of the digital sphere open the door for new research.
