Why LGBTQ+ Specific Dating Matters

Dating as an LGBTQ+ person comes with unique challenges. Mainstream dating apps often:

- Don't have inclusive gender options

- Lack pronoun settings

- Have users who fetishize or discriminate

- Don't understand queer dating dynamics

That's why finding LGBTQ+ friendly apps is crucial for safety and success.
