But surely the odds of policymakers seeing that message are low? We hear you enquire...
Well, according to data released by Grindr last year, the biggest trend during the Republican National Convention (RNC) was a disproportionate increase in activity in the area - around 120 per cent, in fact.
A Grindr spokesperson told Broadly Vice that "more than a thousand guys used the app near the Quicken Loans Arena," the venue for the Convention.
There was also an over-representation of white males, compared to the Grindr community at large: "White men comprise only 40 percent of the Grindr community, but represent 75 per cent of the visitors [at the RNC].”
According to Grindr, the most popular terms used in the profiles during the RNC in 2016 were "visiting" and "fun", as well as 27 mentions of the RNC in profiles and six mentions of Trump.
