Saferides Startup Homobiles “Makes Its First Million...” with Upworthy

Homobiles Makes "Its First Million" (Views) with Upworthy (+1 million views, worldwide. Please Share the Love!) San Francisco, CA August 10, 2018 (www.Homobiles.org)/Prexly/ -- Homobiles, dubbed the Bay Area’s premiere LGBT Indie Taxi Rideshare, is Lynn (Lynnee) Breedlove's brainchild. The safe rideshare startup has been taking kind, respectful care of the LGBTQ community for years, but it's running on fumes and prayers. Funding-wise, they're in dire straits. With videographer Pete Bell and Upworthy's help, the Bay Area nonprofit’s latest video shares have garnered over 1 million views, and they're hoping to see this reflected in community financial support. An app is on the way—but meanwhile, Homobiles.org depends on the kindness of donors and its pay-what-you-can prebooked riders and supporters. Breedlove, an indie artist-punk-rocker entrepreneur (Tribe 8, Lickety Split, Godspeed) founded Homobiles.org in 2010 after friends in the community needed safe, dependable rides to a conference, and he hasn’t looked back. +1 Million Views... Upworthy Wrote, "His Story Went Kinda Viral..." The initial video @ Upworthy, published and shared in April 2018, clocks in at over a million views, and the second follow-up Upworthy Video resumes en media res, with Breedlove as the intrepid LGBTQ ally-advocate-and-Pal, on a quest. The selfie-style content chronicles his quest to make an app happen, keep the lights on, and help his indie business thrive. Upworthy and the Homobiles.org team encourage you to watch, like, share, and support both videos and the nonprofit to make manifest all the good works they are helping to bring to life. Breedlove, thus far, has raised funds primarily through a handful of grants, prebooked paying riders, and through a couple of medical/nonprofit organizations who help to subsidize the trips the drivers make to help trans folks get free rides for medical/surgical trips. The service helps LGBTQ passengers make their way through the world with safety and respect. For more information: prebook a ride (prebooking is best and preferred) by texting [phone].

I’m waiting for my man. A red sedan with pink-and-black car seat covers, an altar on the dashboard, and punk-rock buttons pinned to the visor, pulls up to the curb. This is my Homobile. Inside sits my driver, Lynn Breedlove, who is all…

I learned about something that might be useful for any queer Bay Area followers! Homobiles is a donation-based, NOTAFLOF ride service in San Francisco geared towards providing safe transportation for LGBTQ+ people (and anybody else). I haven't used it yet, but it has all positive Yelp reviews and apparently runs 24/7. Their number is [phone]

Busy times

Man, my plate is full at the moment. February and March have been awesome months. I've made some new friends, had a great first month selling and working at Homegrown Decatur and I've been busy working on illustrations for new clients and building a surface design portfolio.

At the moment I'm preparing to take my first big convention road trip to MegaCon in Orlando, Fl next weekend! This is very exciting. I've never traveled for business or art before, so this is a big step. I hope to be able to post some updates while I'm at the con and maybe I'll even see some of you there.

Also, I got to do a t-shirt design for a "queer taxi" in San Francisco called "Homobiles". Their slogan cracks me up!
