Grindr, the world's largest LGBTQ+ dating app, reportedly went down as the Republican National Convention's midterm event began on Wednesday.

The highest number of reported outages appeared to occur in and around the Dallas area.
"Man, I should become a Republican," joked one person on X. "Well, they say it's a big tent," posted another person. It comes after Trump's furious 5-word outburst at his pilot before storming off was exposed by a lip reader.
A similar incident was reported during the 2024 RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "If that's the case, it aligns with Grindr activity during previous national conventions," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
Former Republican New York Congressman George Santos jokingly called the RNC the "Grindr Super Bowl" in a video posted to X. "Let me tell you something, just come out the closet, boys. Come on, it’s fun! You can be gay and conservative."

journos in town

“You can be gay and conservative.” I’m pretty conservative George, but I don’t lean that way.
Fake news or staged.
It’s from all of the Libs that came into town to protest.
It’s the same story every time.
lol
Some GOP homo for pwesident 28!
This story is likely BS caused by lefty loons.
Maybe Scotty B after he gives all Irans money to us?
Fabulous!
They do it on purpose.
In other words, "fake news".
Gross.
Sure, Jan.
That’s it, right there.
Very.
Same right here.
That’s a pretty weak correlation to make some sort of decisive conclusion.
Dallas is hyper-gay to begin with. Isn’t today/this week some type of Sodomite observance event?
My bet is this is some gay activist psyop to embarrass the conventioneers.
What nonsense
Bots could easily do it just for headlines
Or just make it up
