I argue that Grindr is not a return to pre-Stonewall forms of covert signaling of sexual interest, as Crooks (2013) argues, but is a contested cultural space where publicness and privateness co-exist, creating tensions for self-presentation that are structured by contemporary sexual politics. However, I complicate the findings on the layering of virtual and real space through Grindr use.
Similarly to Licoppe’s study of Grindr use in Paris, my study in Chicago found that Grindr is privatizing cruising.
