    Is the title a joke or genuinely OOTL?

    Grindr is a gay dating app.

    There’s a recurring joke here because every time there’s a Republican convention, Grindr always goes down to a heavy influx of traffic.

      That’s not true. A recent investigation proved that doesn’t happen. I believe it was metrics from Grindr itself. Stop putting these fuckers in my community. Republican bigots aren’t just automatically gay. That makes the rest of us look bad.

      It feels like victim blaming when the “self hating homosexual”-trope is trotted out every time.

        It also happens to be consistent with 20th century homophobic narratives about gay men hiding among us and instigating a degeneration of society. Almost like most people never actually stopped being bigoted, but just learned what actions are visibly bigoted.
