Is Bumble designed to be a dating app for gay individuals?

Bumble is a dating app designed to be inclusive of all sexual orientations, including gay individuals. It allows users to set their preferences in terms of the gender they are interested in connecting with. When two people of the same sex both swipe right on each other's profile, either person can initiate the conversation. This approach differs slightly from Bumble's heterosexual match protocol, where women are prompted to make the first move. Therefore, while not exclusively for gay individuals, Bumble provides a welcoming platform for the LGBTQ+ community looking for romantic connections.
