I don't agree at all. I want to remind everyone (gay man) how our community used to discriminate the trans community back in the 70s.

Maybe, we should recognise that times are changing and the division of men who likes men is not enough anymore. There are also gay men who likes trans women. Do we want to continue think that we have a sort of primacy in the queer community or, instead, we are a small part of a huge group?

Maybe Grindr, like other queer apps, are starting recognising the importance of enlarging the audience, to create less division.

Grindr is still primary a gay app with men, so don't complain.
Particularly, in those times, we should be the first to support the trans community, to give them a space.

Let's see top with the hate!

Thanks Nick!
Confirms my feeling about Marina. A self centered, hate monger. You’re right, she does drive by bashing with no offers of resolution.

I reiterate, trans and “females, straights and their followers are simple squatters. They have invaded all the M4M apps and claim them for their own. They refuse to leave. They already have their own apps but seem jealous of our successes with our apps.

If only our app platform owner/operators would stand ground. Inclusion unmonitored is doomed to fail and kill the apps. Must include hard filters above any paywalls and not behind them.

Grindr is doomed to these squatters to fail otherwise.

Dear Marina. ( Or anyone thinking the same )
When you go to a foreign country, you are expecting to respect the usages and rules of the population you are visiting.
If you don't like it, you have either the choice of dealing with it and accept it even if you think otherwise, or just don't go at all if you don't agree with the rules there.
What you are trying to do is imposing your own vision to the said country but you are just a visitor.
Grindr is a men dating app.
You are welcome because you are part of the LGBT community, but you are also expected to follow and RESPECT the usage of this app and his history.
Calling this point of view racist/segregationist/transphobic is just stupid and self centered.
There is a problem, and all those post about it are not here just to do some trans bashing.
We want to make things better for everyone.
You are literally shitting (in every post you are making) on people who are trying to make this work and evolve TOGETHER.
You are always calling people racist, transphobic or whatever, and never ever make a proposal to resolve this situation.
If you are not happy with trans app you should use your energy to make them get better. Not try to change what this app was made for. MEN DATING. not lesbian. Not non binary or trans.
If this app was made from scratch for trans and gay men, that would make sense, and tbh we would already have solutions to separate/choose the content and users we would like to see.
Anyway. There is a simple solution to this. Hard filters and an option for the user to block who you don't want to share your content with.
Let s say I don't want trans to see my profile, there should be a way to block this group of user. Kinda like other dating services with straight/gay public where you can choose to be viewed or not by both of the groups.
This is that simple, and should satisfy every groups of users.
I've never seen people calling some app with Gay/Straight population cohabiting separately called homophobic...and that s exactly what you are doing here.
So please, do us a favour. Stop acting like what you seems to be hating...a god damn 1960 fucktard reactionist.
You are the LGBT Karen.

Well said EB! Her commenting completely backs up the issue being raised here

Said by ANOTHER disrespectful, self centered trans or “female” aka Marina.

Also known as a squatter who moved in but to another teams app!

How did those bushes and stall work play out for you?..since you’re on here you answered that.

Many gay men, that which this app was founded for, moved away from bathroom-bush play because we supported this app.

Go ahead….say something else Neanderthal. We’re entertained of course.

Boo hoo, we're men and we're being discriminated against. 😂 Go to a park and fiddle around in the bushes or tap your foot under the stall in the men's room. 😂

Grindr has grinded to a halt for me. Grindr is now GrindHer, go ahead, please just change your name already.

I have de-leted my account and the app. (Hyphen required, or the automated filter removes the comment.)

Apparently the feature to filter gender and other pronouns is available in other countries but not the US. If you’re gonna add pronouns, add the filters. I’m not paying for a service that floods my limited view with women. I hate blocking profiles but I guess that’s what you have to do these days.

Truly, I think this boils down to one thing. The lgbtqia banner is great for politics, and allowing everybody to gain equal rights. Like the equal right to a dating app that actually is my dating pool, and not my political pool. In other words, the lgbtqia banner does not belong in my bedroom.

Also, if you've ever bothered to visit the Grindr app on the Play store, you will find that it is labeled as "Gay dating and Chat" with no mention of lgbtqia anything.

I may be part of the lgbtqia banner, but I am not sexually attracted to anyone but anatomically correct masculine gay men. Again, that banner is strictly a political tool.

Let’s get something straight about this so-called 'discrimination' nonsense. I pay for Grindr to connect with other men—not women, not trans individuals, not anything else. If you can’t grasp the difference between personal preference and actual discrimination, you’re either willfully ignorant or just plain stupid.
Saying I don’t want to see certain profiles on an app I pay for isn’t discrimination; it’s demanding that the service I’m paying for delivers what I signed up for. The idea that I should be forced to see profiles that don’t match my interests is beyond asinine. If you can’t tell the difference between someone expressing a preference and actively trying to harm a group of people, then you’re the one with the problem.
If Grindr wants to be all-inclusive, fine, but don’t tell me that not wanting to see profiles that don’t interest me is somehow wrong. It’s my money, my choice, and I expect the service to respect that

Grindr I'd creating many of these itself

100% agree!

100%
Women turn me off, and those searching for gay and bi men are toxic.

Just as a side note to this, Squirt have many Bi guys, that's fine, but they put up videos showing sex with women. If they want to see MF porn there are many thousands of sites where they can go for that rather than turn gay guy's stomachs. I think this is what's at the bottom of all this anyway. Grindr is/was a unique space for gay MEN to meet and it's sold on that premise. Just a thought ;)

They could make an app exclusively for female profiles e those who want to date them

i would deactivate my account if female profiles arent allowed

The blatant discrimination is abhorrent. And to the one claiming that connecting with nothing but gay males leads to getting flagged for breaking community guidelines... I really do wonder if that was your own experience from having or making incendiary comments about certain groups in our community that you either are well aware of or are woefully unaware of your discriminatory nature.

Straight and bisexual men should be allowed as long as they are looking for men

Look- trans have invaded EVERY LGB space, plus you have your own spaces just for trans—- yet ya whine when we want a place to be left alone. FaFo predo

All due respect. It is hookups app honestly
