Have you ever lied about how you met a partner for fear of being judged by others? I didn’t have much time. I was supposed to be at a friend’s house and I was in desperate need of caffeine. I opened the door to Dolores Park Cafe here in San Francisco and sighed when I saw the 10 people already in line. As I attempted to remove my coat, I lost my footing and fell headlong into the person in front...

Zeke Thomas: 'I didn’t move from my apartment for two days' The gay son of NBA legend Isiah Thomas has revealed that he’s been raped twice including once last year by a guy he met on Grindr. Zeke Thomas, a 28-year-old music producer and DJ, says that the first rape occurred when he was just 12 years old. ‘At first I didn’t realize what had happened, what had transpired. I knew that it was wrong, I knew that I did not want...

Matthew Herrick has found himself the victim of fake profiles on the gay hook-up app. The 32-year-old is accusing Grindr of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false advertising, and deceptive business practices in a new lawsuit, after more than 700 men turned up to his apartment expecting sex. Matthew first discovered that his images were being used to ‘catfish’ local gay men after a guy turned up at his front door claiming to have messaged him over the app. After the...
Dating App

Congratulations to Hornet, the hookup app that can always reliably make you say “oh yeah, I forgot about that one.” But that blind spot might just be going away soon, because they’ve raised $8 million to spend on … who knows, hornet stuff, maybe? Since its inception, Hornet’s strived to be more than just a Grindr clone with less name recognition. They want to provide “quality social interactions with more ways to meet and engage in local gay communities,” so, okay. They recently bought...

All four gay men murdered were aged between 21 and 25. Grindr serial killer Stephen Port was handed a life term in prison for murdering four young gay men. The 41-year-old chef was convicted on Wednesday of the murders of Anthony Walgate, a 23-year-old from Hull, Gabriel Kovari, 22, from Slovakia, Daniel Whitworth, 21, from Kent, and Jack Taylor, 25, from Dagenham. Justice Openshow gave him a whole-life sentence on Friday morning. In all, he was found guilty of a total of 22...

When Paul Jefferies’ corpse was discovered, investigators counted over 40 injuries on the customs official, including a slashed throat. As The Standard reports, the 52-year-old was found naked with a tea towel tied around his head. He was slumped across the kitchen floor at his home in East Sussex, where he’d moved from London after a romantic relationship dissolved. On February 23, 18-year-old Ben Bamford murdered Jefferies with intent to rob him in order to pay off a £400 drug debt. During his trial,...

“This morning I deleted a marketing email from Hinge, a high-end, Tinder-esque social dating app that only shows you hot guys if you have friends in common,” blogger Madison Moore in a new op-ed called How To Spot Sexual Racism. “Cool concept. But Hinge was the worst kind of dating app for me because I never matched with anybody. Not one person.” The issue, Moore believes, is the color of his skin. He’s black. But, he says, “as I swiped and swiped...
Gay Olympian

Openly gay Tongan athlete Amini Fonua issued a sharp condemnation on Thursday to a horribly irresponsible and exploitative Daily Beast story on athletes’ use of sex apps in Rio that might have outed gay athletes. Fonua, an Olympic swimmer who competed in the men’s 100-meter breaststroke, blasted Nico Hines’ article on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AminiFonua/status/763834470009036800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/AminiFonua/status/763835853533839360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/AminiFonua/status/763836245428633600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw @NicoHines Seriously fuck off with your str8 white male privilege preying on closeted people who can't live in their truth yet.

The archbishop of Dublin says he will no longer be sending his student priests to be trained at Ireland’s oldest seminary after a Vatican investigation uncovered a culture of gay sex and the prolific use of the gay hookup app Grindr on the campus, reports Reuters. Dr Diarmuid Martin, the most senior Catholic in the Irish Republic, says he made the decision some months ago because he was “somewhat unhappy” about “an atmosphere that was growing in” St Patrick’s College...

Grindr is spilling the tea on all the “chatting” than went down in Rio during the Olympics earlier this month. According to data published by the hook-up app today, a stunning 38,000 people from 109 nations were using Grindr in Rio, racking up an incredible 14 million messages during a two-week period. Grindr’s statistics do not include any identifying factors, unlike a post earlier this month by the Daily Beast. An interactive map allows you to see which countries guys chatted with...

Donny Meacham is not happy, guys. In fact, he’s very, very, very unhappy. With a lot of things. But especially with Grindr. Meacham channels his inner Carrie Bradshaw in an absolutely groundbreaking new op-ed published by Elite Daily titled “3 Ways Grindr Has Ruined Everything About Dating In The Gay Community.” “I am a queer single male in NYC,” the piece begins. “You would think dating would be easy because there are thousands of queer guys all around me.Well, if you think that, you are...
