My question is — will this be a nationwide scope of users who are Republican operators or just Florida people?

Could Grindr simply provide those details as part of discovery?

Completely transparent, above board. And most importantly, on the record.

that's the way it is in every community, in every orientation. The privileged and well-connected are the ones with mistresses, secret lovers, and lead a small but secretive alternative life. I would bet providers know, just like Grindr says here.

Can’t imagine they would. How would they be outed? Facial recognition software?
God I wish this would happen. So fitting.

they do it all the time on TV.



Seriously, though, usually a good software guy can do it. Using a burn phone would make it harder, but still.

My first reaction is “no, no, no”, but we’re in a different debate with shifting rules created by Republicans constantly moving the goalpost.

Outing someone is a spiteful act, I don’t know if an extra helping of spite is what’s needed here. But for sure, hypocrite assholes they are.

I want to see them stammer something about researching the people who most need their prayers.

Nobody will believe that.

...but the Republicans have no shame. They will just lump those in with Gym Jordan, Santos etc. It would be hilarious but probably wouldn't make much difference.
