Then shows them the profil of ers of the other sex, but lets them swch to same-sex profil if they several other datg s, which specifilly show gay ers the profil of fellow gay ers, a lbian who search ChristianMgle for women now would end up mostly viewg the profil of straight women.

Same for a gay ’s clearly not ial for gay or straight ers: “Nobody wants to have to search through a bunch of profil of straight folks who are not terted you, ” Lee Networks said ChristianMgle has more than 16 ln ers. ”One of the pastors on the ChristianMgle advisory board parted ways wh the pany after learng would allow gay ers.

For a lot of gay Christian men pecially, there n be a kd of uneasy relatnship wh those apps, where they want to meet people, but not to be seen as lookg for a hookup, ” Lee said.

Mann add that an openly Christian profile on a gay datg se — like his, which says he is semary — tends to surprise most gay men, and not a good Spark Networks or another pany created an app tailored to the Christian LGBT muny, they say, there would be a more stori about fah?
