![]() Grindr slams TikTok users for outing Olympic athletes in Tokyo #lgbt #tokyo2020 #grindr #tiktok /Ek1woHaaa2 And out of all the gay athletes that were exposed in these Twitter and TikTok videos, some of them belonged to countries that are infamous for their anti-LGBTQ+ stance. What was even more intrusive is that some of these creators showed full faces of athletes and or revealed identifying details about them. Some of these videos had thousands of views and showed creators using Grindr’s explore feature to check out the profiles of users in Tokyo’s Olympic Village. Recently, leading social media platforms – Twitter and TikTok – took down dozens of videos that exposed profiles of gay Olympians in Tokyo that were on Grindr. Take the instance of these TikTok and Twitter users who put out multiple videos that showcased profiles of athletes in Tokyo’s Olympic Village on Grindr. And many times this decision is not respected by those who already know about the person’s gender identity. When they want to come out, if they want to come out and who they want to come out to. And it’s the least of the courtesies we can extend to everyone. But one thing that is common in their journey of coming out (or not) is a choice. Especially when we talk about coming out as gay, lesbian, trans, etc. Whether you’re from the LGBTQ community or an ally, we know for sure is that everyone’s journey and struggle is different.
