Gay rights movements have borne fruit, and countries all over the world are now bowing to pressure. Being straight is no longer the norm. The most precious freedom any person can have is the freedom to express love to whomever they choose without fear of being cascaded, alienated, discriminated against, trolled, attacked, arrested, or killed. Sexual orientation should not be used to judge people as if feeling affectionate is a crime.
Here are the top 10 best gay dating apps that you can download.
- Grindr
Grindr is a social network that connects gay and bisexual men who want to meet other men in their area in a completely discreet and anonymous manner, without having to provide any personal information or fill out a profile with confidential information to register. This app uses each user’s exact location, making it easier for people to find others who are nearby. At a glance, you can see which users are nearby and which are online at the time.
- Tinder
Tinder is a dating app that helps you find attractive people in your area who share your interests. Start chatting with them directly from the app, and you’ll be on your way to your first Tinder date. Tinder displays other users in an easy-to-understand format. Indeed, its trademark simplicity is what has anchored it to the Olympus of all other dating apps – if you will. You’ll see a photo of another user after logging in. If they appeal to you, simply tap on their image to view additional photos and background information.
- OkCupid
OkCupid is a dating app similar to Badoo or Tinder that allows you to connect with people who share your interests. You must create your own profile, as with all of these social apps, to upload photos and personal information. OkCupid also allows you to answer hundreds of optional questions to improve your profile and find better matches. When you first join OkCupid, you can specify the type of relationship you seek and search for profiles that match. For example, if you are only interested in friendships with people of the same sexual orientation, you can find others who are as well. OkCupid is a fantastic alternative for meeting people.
- Scruff
Scruff is a dating app that allows you to connect with men in your area and those from all over the world. With millions of users on this social network looking for potential dates, you’ll have open access to a large portion of the Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer men dating pool. After you’ve created your profile, you’ll be ready to meet a plethora of people from various communities. You can sift through the hundreds of available shapes and use Scruff Match’s own algorithm to find the best potential matches among people who share common interests, attend the same events as you, or travel in the same way that you do.
- Hornet
Hornet is a social network that caters solely to gay men. In a nutshell, it’s similar to Tinder or Badoo, but it’s only for men looking to meet other men. Hornet differs from similar apps in that you do not need an account to view other people’s profiles or send them messages. Even so, you’ll get a lot more attention if you create a full profile, complete with information and photos.
- Blued
Blued is a gay-specific app that helps you meet people in your area and strike up a conversation with millions of people based on your interests and preferences. One of the best features of Blued is that, unlike most other similar apps, it does not have a location restriction, so you can start a conversation with anyone on the planet. Virtual borders do not exist. On the other hand, because everyone has a detailed profile that includes their hobbies and basic information such as age, height, and weight, you can contact a person based on your preferences.
- happn
happn is a strange social app that alerts you if you’re about to cross paths with someone you’d like to know (on the street, in a restaurant, on the bus, or wherever). It’s as simple as signing up for happn through Facebook and leaving the app running in the background on your phone to use it. You will then receive a notification whenever someone else who has the app installed is nearby. You can specify the type of people you want to meet in happn’s settings. You can then configure it to only receive notifications for men or women or people in a specific age range (for example, 18-28).
- Romeo
Romeo is a social app similar to Grindr or Tinder that allows you to meet men. It, like Grindr, is aimed solely at gay men. The number of filters available when searching for matches is one of Romeo’s strengths. As is customary for apps of this type, you can select the age range you’re looking for, but you can also specify your preferred height or weight and even add “tags” to narrow down your search even further.
- Jack’d
