“Swipe Right Lang Nang Swipe Right, Beh!”: Exploring Dating App Experiences of Gay Community Members
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
In the present era of time and technology, individuals around the globe have observed an increased activity among the acknowledgment of LGBTQIA+ members. However, society does not treat them the same way as individuals who are deemed “normal” in the context of online dating. This paper will unveil the struggles that these individuals face. Knowing the experiences and nuances of the LGBTQIA+ community through this setting would remarkably help not only the researchers but also to the viewers who will stumble by it. A narrative research design was utilized in order to incorporate their perspectives. Along with this, semi-structured interviews will be the method of this research in order for the authors to gain sufficient insight into their ventures and introspections. The information amassed through said interviews has supported homosexual men's right to self-expression, validation of their uneasiness, and demonstrating to society how the "conventional" image of their sexuality can be used against them. It can be concluded that this information has also led researchers to recognize that despite the cultural differences between the LGBTQIA+ community and what is considered normal, they share quite the similarities, albeit more severe.
