Though Bumble is not specifically aimed toward LGBTQ+ people, the app did merge with Chappy, an app that was formerly used by mostly gay men, to broaden its pool of users. Bumble seeks to take the negative experiences out of online dating by giving users more control over who they connect with. On top of adding general tidbits of info to your account, you can also link your Spotify and Instagram accounts to beef up your profile. When same-gender users match with someone on the app, each person has 24 hours to make the first move before the connection goes away. Bumble is inclusive to those of any and every background and encourages users to share their sexual orientation, gender identity, and more. Here are some of the best Bumble openers to get your journey started.
