In, 2011, Kaamila Mohamed, Nabil Khan and Thouheen Alam met at the LGBT Muslim Retreat organized by Muslim Alliance for Sexual & Gender Diversity (MASGD). They befriended each other, and founded the Queer Muslims of Boston (QMOB) in February 2013. Twelve people joined for QMOB's first monthly meeting (March, 2013). Over the next year and a half, the community maintained monthly gatherings of around ten people, discussing topics like religious identity, shame & pride, patience, political struggle, Ramadan & Eid reflections, and mental health. Community members also convened a handful of times for social gatherings and outside events. Since 2018, the organization’s spiritual center has existed in a parallel group, founded by Magda Mohamed, called Union Square Halaqa, currently facilitated by Darien Alexander Williams. In 2023, QMOB celebrated its 10th anniversary at its annual iftar, with over 80 attendees.
