I didn’t follow the previous discussion, but if I were a conspiracist, I’d think that someone in the US government is already or has the potential to be exposed as a Grindr user, and is therefore using their influence to keep the information out of the hands of a foreign government?
Wouldn't it be too late for that? Presumably, the foreign government has up-to-the-minute data from Grindr, besides the decade of historical data up to this minute.
I assumed the concern is about future sensitive information.
Seems ironic to me that an administration that is openly hostile to LGBT rights is afraid of a gay dating app being used as blackmail material for their own clandestine gay Republican officials that are supposedly leading straight lives.
Hasn’t Trump been in favor of LGBT rights? Also, why do you think Republican officials are clandestinely gay? Seems wrong to assume that about someone.
That’s true and I agree it’s not LGBT friendly (obviously). The vast majority of that list is nit picky though. I’d even say it’s a dishonest reframing of issues that have nothing to do with LGBT. Definitely not helpful to make a point.
He held up a gay pride flag upside-down with "LGBTs for Trump" scrawled on it. Every single action he's taken on relevant issues contradicts that awkward, insincere show of support.
