LGBTQutieThe new app LGBTQutie was created bee the -founrs saw that most datg apps are signed for heterosexual relatnships, or if they are LGBTQ clive, they foc on gay men or lbian women. Acrdg to s webse, “Thurst is veloped by queer black folk and queer people of lor, ” which is exactly why they don't tolerate any “racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, shamg, or harassment. Bumble, the datg app that allows women to make the first move, announced this week that 's vtg Chappy, a new app for gay and bisexual men who want an alternative to the Grdr meat the U.
”"We're more foced on meangful nnectns, ” Ollie Locke, the -founr of Chappy, tells, a st member on the UK realy seri Ma Chelsea who me out as gay this year, argu that apps like Grdr turn gay men to “objects. ”The two hope to challenge the stigma associated wh gay datg by givg men a better platform to is well-posned to help them meet that goal: The pany was created by Tr -founr Whney Wolfe as a rponse to the wispread harassment that women reported when g datg apps. “Gay marriage is legal now, thank God, ” Wolfe told Inc., “and I thk the datg landspe has not provid that same type of acceptance.
Bumble has ma great stris for women the datg space, and we believe Chappy will do the same for gay men. To me, as a 37-year-old lbian, a nice 80-year-old married gay man who wants to play chs wh me is abysmal datg material but excellent iend material.
