The website supports events such as pride parades in Warsaw and Kraków and participates in public debate about topics such as civil partnership, coming out and outing. The platform cooperates with Polish LGBT organizations such as Campaign Against Homophobia and Lambda Warsaw.[5][6] Since 2012, it has organized local meetings in Kraków called Klub Queer.pl.[7]

In 2007, the website won the Economic Society for Gays and Lesbians' award for best internet LGBT portal. This was the first time the prize had been awarded.[1]
In 2014, queer.pl published an app for iPhone, iPad and mobile devices with Android OS.[15]
