I want a particular companion gender
Use the companion-gender column for documented women, men, nonbinary, or custom paths. That describes the companion—not you or the relationship.

LGBTQ+ companion discovery · evidence before assumptions
Find documented LGBTQ+ paths without confusing inventory with inclusion.
Five of 17 tracked profiles currently name at least one LGBTQ+ audience path. Four separately document any trans-companion representation, while 14 document a companion-gender path. None of those counts establishes respectful behavior, pronoun reliability, identity persistence, reader fit, or representation quality.
Direct answer: current publisher records explicitly name gay audiences on 5 profiles, lesbian audiences on 3, bi/pan audiences on 2, and trans/nonbinary audiences on 2. A companion's gender and a reader-audience statement remain separate evidence.

The 30-second answer
Decide which kind of identity support matters to you.
I want a product that names LGBTQ+ users
Use the audience cards for explicit gay, lesbian, bi/pan, trans/nonbinary, asexual, or custom audience language.
See named audience pathsI care about pronouns and respectful behavior
A setup label cannot answer that. Use a short fictional test to check pronoun handling, unwanted assumptions, editing, and whether identity persists.

Four separate evidence questions
Do not let one identity label answer a different question.
Companion gender
Women, men, nonbinary, custom, and not-applicable are companion-side catalog values. They do not describe the reader.
Named reader audience
A male or female companion path does not prove explicit support for gay, lesbian, bi/pan, trans/nonbinary, asexual, or other readers. Only an affirmative publisher audience record enters that lane.
Pronouns and behavior
A label does not establish pronoun controls, correct use, respectful handling, persistence after edits, or behavior across conversations and devices.
Trans representation
A broad trans label, a trans-man path, a nonbinary option, and generic customization are not interchangeable. The matrix reports only the exact current category.
Documented audience paths
Start with the identity language a publisher actually uses.
These lanes report explicit first-party audience wording. They do not rank products, validate the wording, or prove that the companion behaves inclusively. Empty lanes remain visible because absence of current evidence is not proof of exclusion.

Alphabetical evidence matrix
Audience, companion identity, and trans representation—side by side.
“Not established” means the reviewed record cannot support an affirmative option; it does not prove the option is unavailable. Multi-value citations bind to each field as a whole, not to a tested outcome for every listed identity.

Before you choose or pay
Run this six-part LGBTQ+ fit preflight.
1. Separate you from the companion
Name the audience language you need and the companion identity you want as two requirements. “Male companion” is not the same claim as “gay audience support.”
2. Inspect the exact surface
Check the real character picker or creator on the plan and device you may use. A publisher audience page does not establish current inventory or parity across surfaces.
3. Check language and behavior
Look for pronoun fields, edit controls, unwanted gender assumptions, and what happens in a fresh conversation. This guide documents labels, not behavioral outcomes.
4. Use fictional, non-sensitive details
Test names and identity handling without entering private facts or copying a real person's identity, likeness, or intimate information.
5. Watch behavior, not just setup
Record misgendering, unwanted steering, edit failures, and resets as dated observations. One setup screen cannot establish long-term behavior.
6. Recheck scope before paying
Friendship, romance, adult roleplay, plan access, content boundaries, browser/app availability, privacy, and account controls remain separate purchase decisions.
Move from identity evidence to fit
Use the label as one filter—not the whole recommendation.
Common questions
What the current evidence can—and cannot—answer.
Which tracked products explicitly name LGBTQ+ audience paths?
Current affirmative records name gay audiences on 5 profiles, lesbian audiences on 3, bi/pan audiences on 2, trans/nonbinary audiences on 2, and asexual audiences on 0. These are publisher audience statements—not behavioral, parity, safety, or quality results.
Which tracked AI companions currently document women, men, or nonbinary options?
Women: Anima, Candy AI, CrushOn.AI, GPTGirlfriend, Idyll AI, Kindroid, Kupid AI, MyLovely, Nastia AI, Nomi, OurDream, Replika. Men: Anima, Anima AI Boyfriend / iBoy, Candy AI, CrushOn.AI, DearHim, GPTGirlfriend, Idyll AI, Kindroid, Kupid AI, MyLovely, Nastia AI, Nomi, OurDream, Replika. Nonbinary: GPTGirlfriend, Idyll AI, Nomi, OurDream. These are current publisher-documented field values, not inventory, behavior, parity, or quality results.
Which products document a custom or creator-defined path?
Anima, Anima AI Boyfriend / iBoy, CrushOn.AI, GPTGirlfriend, Idyll AI currently carry the custom value. “Custom” does not prove arbitrary gender controls, creation from scratch, pronoun behavior, identity persistence, or a private character.
Which products document trans companion representation?
Candy AI, Idyll AI, MyLovely, OurDream currently carry an affirmative trans-representation record. Candy AI, OurDream, and MyLovely use a broad trans category whose subtype remains unestablished; Idyll AI documents one trans-man path. Zero current records establish a trans-woman path. This is evidence coverage, not market availability or representation quality.
Does a boyfriend or girlfriend option prove LGBTQ+ audience support?
No. Companion gender, the reader's identity or orientation, relationship mode, trans representation, and adult-content scope are separate fields. A product must explicitly support the reader audience before the Finder treats that audience value as documented.
Which AI companion handles gender identity best?
This publication has zero comparable identity-behavior or representation-quality tests and names no winner. A defensible answer would require matched setup, edit, pronoun, conversation, persistence, privacy, and parity checks with exact plans and limitations.
Method and limits
Three canonical fields remain three separate claims.
The projection binds every active profile's audience-support, companion-gender, and trans-representation claims to their separate freshness records. Only verified or merchant-claimed audience values enter an affirmative lane. Stale, future-dated, inactive, missing, duplicate, or drifted support fails closed. Products are alphabetical, and commission never affects inclusion or order.
No pronoun control, identity behavior, demonstrated reader fit, LGBTQ+ competency, inventory depth, representation quality, persistence, platform parity, adult availability, privacy, plan access, or first-hand workflow was independently tested. Read the methodology and editorial standards for the evidence hierarchy.
