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.
