"Though there is this new attention to sexual health, both Grindr and the research community have been silent on mental health. Yet since 2007, more gay men have died from suicide than from HIV."

Just happens to coincide with the gay community making more strides in public acceptance than ever before. Odd case.

"Another user told me he downloaded the app hoping to find a husband. Now he says that when he and a boyfriend (he’s gone through several) fight, his natural response is to open Grindr to “find an alternative” instead of working through problems. He can’t maintain a monogamous relationship because he is constantly cheating."

What the implication you're suggesting, that gay public acceptance is causing suicides? What, through more "gay" people living "gay" (unhealthy) lifestyles?

No, that many people say that gay suicides are fueled by their not being accepted, even though acceptance has grown exponentially and suicide rates remain the same/higher

idk about gays, but my instinct would be that this is definitely the case for trannies.

more acceptance/encouragement to "follow your heart" -> more people who are just mentally ill/confused convincing themselves it's a good idea -> become tranny -> realize they're just fucked in the head no matter what and become more confused -> killself

It wasn't written by a regular Vox journalist, but a resident psychiatrist at Harvard Med with double Ivy degrees, so maybe we should expect better attention to detail

i had the same quote ready to post

different point, though

there is no fucking way it takes hours for a gay to find a hookup on grindr. remember, this is written by a gay in boston who started up grindr, had a gay within 100 feet looking for sex at his place and found 100 similar profiles of gays looking for sex at their place

within one mile

within one mile

within one mile

It's interesting, the recent acceptance of homosexuality in our culture has also made people afraid to call out gays for their open and unceasing promiscuity. One of my good friends is gay and will talk about his exploits but not once does anyone say "hey man maybe slow down, this isn't healthy". This guy would laugh it off but others I imagine would just be like "uh okay, bigot, stop suppressing my sexuality"

Promiscuity is insanely unhealthy (mostly mentally but also for stds) whether you're straight or gay
