On Tuesday, Tinder announced plans to roll out its Sexual Orientation update, a major addition to the platform developed in collaboration with GLAAD.
For the first time ever, Tinder users can now add more information about sexual orientation to their profiles, which will impact how potential matches are surfaced, according to a press release issued by the company. The update, in turn, aims to be more inclusive of its increasingly diverse user base.
"Tinder continues to show a dedication to inclusivity with updates that reach millions of people and create safer spaces for LGBTQ users," said Rich Ferraro, Chief Communications Officer at GLAAD."Their latest work to expand additional sexual orientation options is an impactful change that helps LGBTQ people authentically express their full selves and gives LGBTQ users more control over potential matches.
