In the ongoing Pride Month, popular dating app, Tinder has revealed new insights about how young adults in India are boldly challenging societal norms, embracing fluid identities, and reshaping the dating landscape with an open mindset. With more than half of Tinder members globally being Gen Z, and as the most fluid of any generation ever, the dating app has revealed that its LGBTQIA+ member base has grown at twice the rate of its overall base, and that non-binary is the most common “more genders'' choice for Tinder members globally.

In fact, according to the recent Future of Dating report, there has been a 30 per cent increase in gender identities other than male or female on Tinder since 2021 and people identifying as non-binary have increased by 104 per cent within one year alone.

To better understand where LGBTQIA+ members find themselves now, and how these attitudes influence evolving perceptions around love and human connection, Tinder in India teamed up with Gaysi Family, a queer-owned, queer-run media platform in the country to decode some of these insights.
