Does the (straight) CEO not realize how easy it is to get laid off Grindr? It's an Ok Cupid-style grid, and there's a profile flag you can set that literally says "yes please, send me NSFW pics". You can literally send you hole/pole to everyone who would want to see it in a 3 mile radius

Actually I was wrong, the guy is gay and married. But he IS a trumper, so I probably got mixed up.

The representative of the fascist party in Germany says she's "lesbian but not queer". I think it's the same case.
