Hinge released the new LGBTQIA+ dating and identity guides in the app that address pressing, yet often unaddressed, questions queer folks face while going on dates. Dubbed NFAQ (Not-So-Frequently Asked Questions), the new resource features answers from leading LGBTQIA+ voices. The new initiative was released in response to a survey that found 80% of Hinge’s LGBTQIA+ community find it difficult to find helpful dating resources, thereby "putting them at a disadvantage in finding a meaningful connection."
"For LGBTQIA+ people, our experiences are so unique that the typical answers to dating questions don't meet our needs. NFAQ is a transformative resource that will support queer daters with creating and maintaining authentic relationships," says Hinge’s Love and Connection Expert Moe Ari Brown, LMFT.
