"Our ads referencing celibacy were an attempt to lean into a community frustrated by modern dating, and instead of bringing joy and humor, we unintentionally did the opposite," it said.

"While LGBTQ[+] acceptance is rising, Grindr can help gay men meet for a wide range of purposes under a wide range of societal conditions." "Grindr has established itself as the leading LGBTQ+ social dating app through strong brand awareness, despite its relatively nascent tech.
