Code Grindr “Code Grindr” is a discussion group weekly on Wednesdays. The purpose of this group will be to discuss the negative effects hook-up apps have on the community such as: The stigmatizing language that PLHIV experiences on the apps. The harmful and violent language people on the apps use towards poz individuals. The racism/colorism we experience on these apps. The outdated language that is used surrounding everyone who falls under the trans umbrella. How “DL” individuals affect the mental state of queer people and how we shape ourselves to appeal to this toxic masculinity they portray. The importance of understanding what grooming is and how that has affected the LGBTQIA+ community. How to spot grooming techniques and what we can do to SHUT IT DOWN. Safety precautions when going to “link” with someone you have never met before from the app. How IMPORTANT boundaries are The role These discussions empower marginalized communities to find solutions to bring awareness and make it a safer environment for those around us and ourselves. This group will be geared towards 18+ groups. This will enforce us to maintain control and mature conversations.
