Dating apps like Grindr are often framed as tools for connection, but they can also amplify harm, especially for Queer people navigating shame, racism, body hierarchies, rejection, and trauma.

Being closeted is often framed as a temporary stage before coming out, but for many Queer people it is a long-term reality shaped by fear, safety, culture, and survival. This blog explores the psychological and emotional impact of hiding parts of yourself, including shame, anxiety, hypervigilance, and disconnection. It challenges the assumption that coming out is always the solution and centres compassion, choice, and self-protection.
