Grindr’s “gaymoji” (
Pass records
, G2, 22 March) act as a regrettable indication in the widespread conflation to be homosexual being promiscuous â one that leads to tens of thousands of homosexual individuals, specially guys, across the world to think that their homosexuality forces them to constantly have sex with strangers. Grindr is free to create the sexual emojis it desires, however it is colluding in a societal deception that stops homosexual folks from developing genuine connections; which makes 1000s of teen boys weep with fear and despair since they think they’ve got no option but to follow along with this form of residing that masquerades as “gay tradition”. As a 17-year-old homosexual man, i am hoping to participate those demonstrating this particular is emphatically false, and I hope that other individuals of whatever orientation can realize alike.
