LGBTQ+ Singles Deserve Consent-Based Discovery Too
Grindr revolutionized queer dating but has documented privacy and safety issues. Love On Deck's visibility filters protect users who aren't fully out.
What Grindr Does
Grindr launched in 2009 and became the dominant dating app for gay and bisexual men. Its location-based, grid-style interface prioritizes proximity and immediacy. But Grindr has faced repeated privacy scandals, including sharing user HIV status with third-party analytics companies, and its moderation has struggled with harassment and discrimination on the platform.
What We Do Differently
Love On Deck gives LGBTQ+ users the same consent-based architecture everyone deserves. Visibility filters protect users who aren't fully out. You control exactly who knows you're on the platform. No algorithm decides who sees you. Both sides must pass each other's filters before discovery happens.
Feature Comparison
The Verdict
Grindr serves a specific community well for casual connection. Love On Deck serves anyone who wants consent-based discovery with full control over their visibility, regardless of orientation.
