An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Let’s be honest here. Grindr has made its decision on this topic and doesn’t have the courage to address it with their users. They seem like they want to create dialog around important topics and ways to make the app better, but they stay silent. This has been a debated topic for multiple years now and nothing has changed. Grindr could have already solved this with free filters or additional sibling apps to provide communities a place to connect that truly allows more connection to happen. In 2009 Grindr was about Gay men. Now they strive to be the app for all Queer people and don’t care about the gay men that made this drove this app into the success it is today.
In case someone from Grindr actually cares to read this…
* the originator of this post is trans and is asking for a separate space.
* gay men want their separate space like they had when Grindr was started
* more trans people have ask for a separate space beyond the originator of the post
* people have ask for free filters to make their grid personalized to individuals they will find a connection with.
How has Grindr addressed this? By doing the complete opposite and/or nothing.
Check out the screenshot of what Grindr stands for today. It seems like their mission isn’t in line with the community that pays their bills.
Care to finally comment Grindr? Or are you going to just let this sit here unanswered for a few more years?
An error occurred while saving the comment Let’s all be honest here. Grindr doesn’t care about what people have to say or how they feel. This post has been up for a long time and it’s very clear that Grindr is going to allow a very small representation of the LGBTQ community to have the largest voice. In the meantime they continue to alienate and not care about gay men and seem to have forgotten that without them they wouldn’t be the app they are today. Shame on you grindr.

This has been and continues to be a huge miss for Grindr. They are more worried about being this all inclusive one size fits all brand for the LGBTQIA community and it’s not appropriate. The majority reason that people use the app is for sexual meet up’s. Sure there’s other reasons it’s used, but that is the main one.
They continue to take away a space that was originally made for gay men and their community to share.
They continue to ignore the request by Trans individuals for their own space.
They continue to ignore the request from gay men to have their own space.
They claim they are being inclusive of the queer community but you don’t see a ton of lesbians on the app trying to find meet ups. So that claim is false.
Grindr has the technology and the resources to be a champion of creating spaces tailored to the right communities to ensure safe and like minded meet ups.
Grindr is pushing a mix of the Gay and Trans community in a way that could be potentially dangerous or deadly if a user were to misrepresent themselves to another user who was expecting to meet up with someone completely different.
It’s time that Grindr stop ignoring this issue and actually do something about it. It’s clear that the culture at headquarters is out of touch with reality and the community at large would appreciate if you kept your work agenda to the offices at HQ and out of our social and dating app.
