Queer health activists have always had an awkward relationship with hook-up and dating apps: not least because of the treatment of (some of them) towards sex workers.

It& #39;s not easy to defend those apps when they don& #39;t have the health of our communities at our heart. 1/4 https://twitter.com/DrWillN/status/1319614012796133377">https://twitter.com/DrWillN/s...

Last year, @grindr through Grindr for Equality helped recruit a 1/3 of participants to the annual UK PrEP user survey with free ads.

This summer, global queer health activists gave hours + hours of free time to support @grindr& #39;s online Pride activities.

This year? Silence. 2/4

With a couple of noticeable exceptions (thanks @hornet) the response from hook-up apps to supporting the survey this year is telling: either silence or "here& #39;s our rate card".

Small orgs don& #39;t have advertising budgets. This survey is run on good will + borrowed staff. 3/4

Hook-up apps: want the continued support of queer health activists? Step up and show you give a fuck about the health and well-being of the communities who pay your salaries. 4/4
