Grindr, the LGBTQ dating app, is coming out of the closet to host its first inaugural “White House Correspondents’ dinner Weekend Party” the night before the main event.
An invitation to the event in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood promises to “bring together policymakers, journalists, and LGBTQ community leaders as we toast the First Amendment.”
“Nobody does connections like Grindr, and WHCD weekend is the most iconic place in the country to make them. We figured it was time to host,” said Joe Hack, Grindr’s head of global government affairs.
Grindr CEO George Arison said last year said the dating app aimed to be a “place that is welcome to everybody” regardless of political affiliation when acknowledging a significant spike in app usage during the Milwaukee Republican National Convention in 2024.
Trump has decided to attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25.
“In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these “Correspondents” now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!”
It will be the first correspondents’ dinner Trump has attended as president. The last time he attended was in 2011 when President Obama roasted his ass over his birther harassment.
Oh, what the heck. We deserve a moment to bask in the light. Refresher below.
