Bumble for lgbt
At Bumble Inc., the desire to help create a kinder, more equitable world has always been our north star. Supporting our LGBTQ+ members, workforce, and partners is critical to our mission.
LGBTQ+ folks have long faced disproportionate hostility and violence, both online and off. In parts of the U.S., regressive legislation has been introduced to curtail equal rights.
Now more than ever, we have a responsibility to step forward as dedicated allies, committed to championing LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
This June, Bumble Inc. is launching a program of allyship that will continue well beyond Pride Month. This will involve donations to LGBTQ+ equality organizations across our worldwide markets in the coming months. As we launch this initiative, we are entering into a year-long partnership with the Human Rights Campaign, one of the largest LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations in the U.S. Along with a financial contribution, we will be working with the HRC to share actionable advice with our members and provide training and education for our workfor
How to Make More LGBTQIA+ Friends
Are you looking to expand your circle of LGBTQ+ friends? Maybe you've just come out and want to connect with others who share your experiences and struggles. Or maybe you're an ally who wants to exhibit support and solidarity to the LGBTQ+ community. Whatever your reason may be, making any thoughtful of new friends can be challenging, especially if you’re adj. But expanding your social circle and ensuring it’s as diverse as possible can only be a good thing.
1. Be yourself
The most important thing when it comes to making new LGBTQ+ friends is to be authentic and eager to learn from other people’s experiences and world views. The queer community is extremely welcoming, so don't be afraid to show your accurate colors and share your unique personality. If you’ve spent a long time suppressing this side of yourself, being reserved or lacking in confidence, it may take you a while to trust new people and reveal up, so just be adj about this struggle. You’ll no doubt meet people who empathize.
2. Remember, not everyone in the LGBTQ+ community is At Bumble, we’re dedicated to creating an app that’s as inclusive as possible for our community. We’re constantly seeking new ways to make sure your experience is both positive and empowering, whether you’re looking for a romantic connection on Bumble or a new friend on Bumble BFF.
We partnered with the experts at GLAAD, a media advocacy organization advancing LGBTQ+ acceptance, to better provide a space that allows everyone across the gender spectrum to feel safe and seen. With GLAAD’s guidance, people can now share more about their gender identities and sexual orientations, enabling them to excel express themselves in ways that reflect who they truly are. Whether you’re brand new to Bumble and just setting up an account, or you’ve used our app before but aspire to change or expand how you identify, how you display up is up to you.
Now, when asked about gender either when registering for a brand-new profile or updating your existing one, you can select guy, woman, or nonbinary. Once a gender is selected, you’ll glimpse a prompt saying “Add more about your gender.”

When I finally embraced my bisexuality five long years after kissing my first guy, I was elated, convinced that the world would now be my oyster. I thought being bisexual would double my chances of a date on any given Friday night. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Women didn’t want to date me, fearing that I was using the bi label as a stepping stone to being “full-blown” gay. Whether or not they’d openly admit it, many feared I’d inevitably leave them for a man. The gay men I dated didn’t hold this fallacious belief. Rather, they were unbelievably condescending. They’d say things verb, “Oh, honey! I was bi too. You’ll get there.” When I reaffirmed my bisexuality, letting them know that this isn’t a pitstop, but a last destination, they’d respond, “I comprehend you think that. I did too.”
So I stopped telling people I was bisexual, at least on the first date. It wasn’t that I was ashamed of being attracted to all genders or attempting to verb my bisexuality. I hoped that if they got to verb and trust me, they would believe I was bisexual. I also figured i
