The 2024 Republican National Convention was a veritable sausage fest, by all accounts, with Salon's Amanda Marcotte reporting in her on-site commentary, "Trump's GOP is no country for MAGA women," that mostly young men, not women, turned out to show their support for Donald Trump, JD Vance and all the other conservative big names this election year. But, according to reports from Newsweek and several other outlets, these young men were turning out for other men in a multitude of ways while visiting the Milwaukee area.
Grindr, the gay dating app launched in March 2009 — which quickly became the largest and most popular gay mobile app in the world — received outage reports from over 1,000 users in the Milwaukee area around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Downdetector, a website that collects online service status information, as reported by Newsweek, with the outlet adding intel from an anonymous user who noticed way more profiles than usual.
