LGBTQ+ Dating
Gay, lesbian and trans dating apps and sites, including the large ones most people already know and the smaller communities built for a specific audience. Scale helps in dating more than in almost anything else, so the big names have a genuine advantage, but the smaller sites often do safety and moderation better. Location and privacy are the questions that matter, since distance-based matching leaks more than most users expect. We note which apps publish a privacy policy worth reading and which ones make their money from visibility boosts.
