This is not the fault of the LGBT community, but these depersonalized conversations are what lead to depersonalized relationships.
Feeling alone in a big city, walking from building to building without making a connection, I desperately wanted to meet like-minded individuals, but I found myself resorting to these apps to do that.īut instead of advancing the gay agenda of inclusion, I found the apps to perpetuate what people scorn about LGBT: promiscuity, impersonal behavior, and sexually motivated conversations. We all crave connection and intimacy, but there is nowhere for freshly out young gay men to connect. Like many LGBT folk, I flocked to a liberal university in a liberal city to feel accepted, but I found gay communities closed-off to LGBT youth. Coming out as gay in my hometown of Muncie, Indiana, was not an easy thing to do, so I didn’t.
