Tindr


I recently downloaded tinder for the first time. 

Honestly, I would’ve been happier with just the 

Other gay apps: Grindr, Jack’d, Bumble, Scruff, Sniffies. 

It pains me to say it, but I hate that we live in a 

world where the LGBTQ community

Has become saturated with these apps that have

Promoted stereotypes about how we shouldn’t 

Have “rice, spice, or curry” in our sexual stew. 

I feel burdened by how the “vanillas” of the world 

Have continued this narrative of pursuing 

Anything outside of seeking big dicks and having 

“Chocolate” Fever is considered wrong. Or 

At the very least distasteful. I mean where’s the 

Flavor, the texture, the emotional freedom to 

Love whoever we want. But only in their way.
