Sce lnchg 2009, Grdr has grown to the largt social workg app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people. The world’s most popular gay social workg app, Grdr, is havg a tough time. Almost 60 years after the Wolfenn Report was published, which said that “homosexual behavur between nsentg adults private should no longer be a crimal offence”, gay men’s supposed lks wh disease and paedophilia still figure the cultural imagatn on both sis of the Atlantic.

Grdr beme the killer app gay social media not bee of s sign or for s munitn utily, but bee of s geo-lotive paci. Havg spent the past ten years rearchg gay men’s e of digal and social media, I n ttify to this lack of awarens.

Social media’s rponse to Grdr’s “flaw” and ers’ prr lack of awarens of pots toward ncerns that perva not only gay male digal culture, but digal and social media more generally. In dog so, reserts geography to gay men’s cisg culture, and rurrects John Rechy’s sexual outlaw for the digal age. Men who have marvelled at the sheer sle of their lol gay “muny”, even men who have ed to quiz others about whether a given street is a gay-iendly place to live.

Grdr offers gay men somethg they have never had before – the abily to “see” one another as they go about their daily liv. We, as gay men, have largely been ignorant of Grdr’s “back-end” bee we have had ltle tert . I know many gay men who would never dream of g Grdr for the specific reasons.

Which brgs me on to the send key issue that this glch illtrat: Grdr’s unwaverg and dangero vtment a culture of Homonormativy. Lisa Duggan of New York Universy ed the term “homonormative” 2002.

Homonormative means to intify a polics that do not ntt domant heteronormative assumptns and stutns, but upholds and stas them, while promisg the possibily of a mobilised gay nstuency and a privatised, policised gay culture anchored domticy and nsumptn. Aligng homonormativy wh a broar Anglo-Amerin project of neoliberalism, Duggan argu that the polil potential of the 1970s LGBT movement, which challenged genr equaly, the stutn of marriage, e dispari, racism and misogyny beme margalised by the 1990s, as whe, middle-class gay men beme creasgly powerful wh a system that was reluctantly acceptg them. Such assiatn to the “mastream” engenred a shift away om radil polics to signer liftyl … for those who uld afford to be good gay nsumers.

That Grdr ially did not see this lotn “glch” as a problem unrsr the homonormative polics of the applitn, and s velopers.

You have to be vted a polics of the homonormative orr to both support gay men’s enavours to nnect and simultaneoly fail to regnise the implitns of renrg such nnectns visible to anyone who r to look. The fact that Grdr is available untri where men are routely beaten, tortured, maimed, flogged, imprisoned, raped and murred for beg homosexual is a shg example of Duggan’s homonormative mol at work. I have spoken wh wealthy Arab men and women who e to the UK each summer “to be gay”.

This time, the service is gay-owned signed explicly for gay men. If there was ever a better example of a “privatised, policised gay culture” then I don’t know what is.
