# Inclusive Dating App Guides Hinge Released New LGBTQIA+ Dating and Identity Guides in the App By Grace Mahas | Published 2022-08-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lgbtqia-dating References: [hinge.co](https://hinge.co/press/hinge-nfaq/)  [Hinge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distractionfree-dating-guide) released the new [LGBTQIA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folx-health1)+ 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-dating)." “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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Inclusive Dating:** Creating inclusive dating apps that cater to the needs of marginalized communities can open opportunities and reach untapped markets. - **LGBTQIA+ Resource Guides:** Developing comprehensive resource guides can address the unmet needs of marginalized communities and improve their experiences in a variety of industries. - **Unique Experience-based Content:** Developing unique content tailored to marginalized communities, based on their experiences, can create engaging and relevant experiences for users. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Online Dating:** Creating a dating app that is inclusive and caters to the needs of marginalized communities can provide an opportunity to tap into an untapped market and increase user engagement. - **Publishing:** Developing comprehensive resource guides that address the unmet needs of marginalized communities can enhance user experiences and cement a publisher's reputation as a leader in diversity and inclusivity. - **Social Media:** Using unique experience-based content that caters to marginalized communities can improve user engagement and help cement a social media platform as an inclusive and welcoming space for all users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distraction-Free Dating Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distractionfree-dating-guide.md) - [User-Prompting Dating App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hinge-dating-app.md) - [Private Dating App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hinge-match-note.md) - [Inclusive Therapy Funding Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hinge-1.md) - [Inclusive Tinder Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-features.md) - [GenAI Dating App Coaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/convo-starters.md) - [Queer-Inclusive Educational Resources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-in-guide.md) - [Inclusive Gen Z Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feels-app.md) - [Healthy Dating Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-2.md)
