Giggles out of the UK this week: the South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus–a local gay vocalist group in the British province of Wales–has released an original tune devoted to the woes of gay dating apps.Titled “Grinding,” the accompanying video for the song mixes choir members with actual pictures of men on apps.
Members filmed from home due to COVID-19 restrictions, which makes the harmonies all the more impressive.Though the video deals with some all-too-familiar issues that will get a few laughs, ultimately the song tackles darker issues associated with dating apps, namely Grindr: body shaming, HIV stigma, married, closeted men, ageism, fetishism and of course, the dreaded pictureless profiles.Related: Norway has a bone to pick with GrindrFor.
