Episode description

Dating apps have become the most popular and convenient way to meet people, especially for us in the queer community. Being that we are a group that has experienced discrimination, marginalization, harassment, and violence, many of us have been forced to live our lives in the shadows. Granted, there are places in the Unites States that have passed progressive bills in favor of our basic rights as Queer individuals, but that does not account for a majority of the US. There are only 15 states that have total rights protection for LGBTQ+ individuals, which is only 30% of the country.

Why do I bring this up? It pertains to how we find love in the queer community, which is primarily through dating apps. There is a sense of safety in it. If you are someone who was raised or currently lives in a state without LGBTQ+ rights, then you FULLY understand the utilization of apps as a way to connect with others. That being said, dating apps come with their downside as well and it is incredibly important that you are aware of the red flags.

Here are 3 MAJOR red flags to look out for:

1. Lack of Clear Photos or Personal Information

2. Inconsistent or Vague Communication

3. Requesting Money or Personal Information
