Grindr is on the political rise

Grindr’s in bed with strange fellows.

The LGBTQ+ dating app has expanded its political presence in both Washington and California as it seeks to flex its influence muscles on a range of policy priorities. The app’s ambitions have grown since President Donald Trump’s return to office — and much of that is due to the registered Republican running the shop.

Since April 2025, Joe Hack has navigated a GOP-controlled Washington as he pushes forward Grindr’s biggest legislative priorities. Out in California, George Arison, Grindr’s self-described “conservative” CEO, has waded into primary politics, pushing moderate San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan as the next governor.

Even amid Trump’s anti-DEI and LGBTQ+ crackdown, Hack told POLITICO he’s found room for bipartisan agreement in Washington. And the scale of Grindr’s influence will be on full display Friday, when the app hosts its inaugural White House Correspondents Dinner weekend party — for which Democrats and Republicans alike have been clamoring to get an invite.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Sickening beyond description. Any Republican attending this queer orgy should be summarily kicked out of the Republican Party.

This, and the article about Becerra also up right now on FR: Yes! Yes! yes! Don’t lose the forest for the trees. Who is chasing it to happen matters not a whit. These guys are pulling around 3% with five weeks before the election, and mail in voting about to open. Anything that pulls them up pushes Steyer down and increases the odds the Bianco and Hilton take the two spots in the jungle primary

Politico soooo fits Grindr.
No justification needs to be given.
It’s a solid QED.

As I’ve always said, Grindr makes the whole world the faggots’ highway rest stop men’s restroom.

I was shocked and disgusted to hear this abomination is sponsoring the Correspondent’s dinner. I won’t be watching it for that reason.

They attend secretly and have a billion dollar hush fund to keep it hidden.

I’ve heard more than once that the homosexual population of D.C. is denser than that of San Francisco, so this isn’t new news. I’ll take “Places I Wouldn’t Use the Bathroom” for $100, Alex.
