From apps to alphabet potatoes: A queer love story
In 2023, Ben and Diogo made it off the apps and into each other’s arms – and now they’ve even immortalised it on a plate. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HINGE 76% of LGBTQIA+ Hinge daters wish they had seen more examples of healthy LGBTQIA+ relationships in the media growing up – which is why it’s important to celebrate queer love whenever we can.
Enter: Ben and Diogo. Originally from Manchester, Ben moved to London to study graphic design with a dream of becoming an art director.
Diogo is originally from Portugal and moved to London four years ago, where he completed an MA in music production. The couple – who are 25 and 23, respectively – first met on Hinge back in March 2023.
However, this wasn’t the first time they matched. This actually took place six months before, with Ben messaging Diogo, and Diogo committing the cardinal sin of ~not replying~.
