I'm starting to see a pattern here with the pray the gay away crowd.

1. Is there a source more reliable than "rando internet tweet-thingie"?

I'm not saying it DIDN'T happen, I'd just like more solid proof than is provided here, if you know of any?

2. No this is all I have seen.

Yet this was meant to be sarcasm.

4. Taking it seriously here...

Purely from a tech standpoint.

https://status.grindr.com/ - did report issues with chat late last night.

https://downdetector.com/status/grindr/ - company that monitors some major websites (not DU though). User reports. 171 of them.

Now ... Massive outage? I think not. But that graph showing reports of 171 outages worldwide does look interesting. Put it into perspective Twitter (x) reported a peak of 140 outages over the past 24 hours, as a single event.

3. Downdetector.com

This is probably the source of the Grindr reports of being "down". This comes from user reports and records problems with apps as well as websites. There are alternatives but they mainly focus on website being there or not - not whether it's got performance issues.

5. Anyway, to your point, Bible Belt states watch the most gay porn,

stats show

In every single state in the South, the percentage of “gay” viewers, or viewers of gay porn, is higher than the average of viewers in states that allow gay marriage, according to their data.

It always seemed to me that those that are outspoken on the issue are just trying to convince themselves.

6. Oh, I wondered what would draw 200,000 people to a memorial service in Arizona.

7. Maybe they're more curious than condemning.
