LGBTQ+ Dating
Reviews and practical guides for bisexual, lesbian and transgender dating, plus our 2023 roundup of LGBTQ+ apps worth a look. We compare how each platform handles profiles, matching and privacy.

Apps with flexible gender and pronoun options, and dedicated transgender dating sites. Registration steps and profile controls are the parts we test most closely here.
