Have you heard Grindr's new notification sound? Grindr explains the grunt as "a humorous celebration of the often sexually charged sport", and a nod to the popularity of sexually-charged tennis film "Challengers."

All that being said... The sudden change and jarring sound effect was a hard no from gay Twitter.
What else has been going on with the queer people of X, you ask? The beginnings of a campaign to cover the exorbitant costs of being a lesbian: the endless long distance drives; a look back at the badass butches from the ballroom scene; a reminder that a sapphic music video can unite and heal the world; and the perfect encapsulation of how it feels to see another trans person in public.

A flawless, emotional reenactment of Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You" music video, a reminder of the iconic candid Gaga moment when she told Caitlyn Jenner that she recently "switched baristas," and the powerful knowledge that Glee's impact transcends generations.
