For LGBTQ+ athletes who aren’t openly out or come from countries where their identity is dangerous or illegal, using Grindr can be risky. They could be outed by others trying to expose them on the app.
To address this, Grindr has announced: “We’re disabling features like ‘Explore’ and ‘Roam’ within the Olympic Village. Additionally, the ‘show distance’ feature will be off by default, though users can choose to share their approximate location if they wish. Our aim is to help athletes connect safely without the fear of revealing their location or being identified.”
LGBTQ+ athletes face unique challenges, especially those from regions without basic rights and protections for their community.
Grindr, a popular dating app for LGBTQ+ individuals, is committed to user safety and privacy. Remember to use the app responsibly and be mindful of your surroundings. Stay safe and enjoy connecting with others!
