Users of gay hook-up app Grindr have complained about anti-Zionism and alleged antisemitism on the service – but to no avail, one angry user has told the JC.

The user of the location-based LGBTQ+ dating service told the JC they had reported one person who displayed the message “No H&H/racism/transphobia/Zionism”. 

“H&H” is gay slang for high and horny, which implies sex accompanied by drug use.

When the user reported the profile, he received a notification from app moderators which said: “Violations of our community guidelines may result in censored content, a warning, or an account ban. We have investigated your report and have taken appropriate action against this user.”
