The founder and CEO of Grindr, the gay social networking app that exploded on the scene in 2009 and now reports over 7 million users in 192 countries, believes he has an “opportunity to make a difference.” Gay men worldwide may be using Grindr to quickly track the locations of potential sex partners a few feet away, but Joel Simkhai believes that if he can inspire those men to think about homophobia or make a phone call to a legislator in the process of scanning for dates, then that’s a pretty great thing.
