If you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community, finding dates online can truly feel like trying to find love in a hopeless place - but that's about to change 💕
Considering how simple the app looks on its face — it’s entirely text-based, inspired by newspaper personals — that might seem like a huge accomplishment. However, when you do away with all the visual and auditory accompaniments that other dating and social apps offer and are left with just language, personality shines through. Thus, genuine, lasting connections are made.
“You read about the person, who they are, what they're looking for, kind of get a sense of their personality, and then later check them out visually,” Rakowski explains. While there is an option to link out to Instagram accounts, not everyone chooses to do so, and unlike other dating apps, Instagram photos aren’t loaded into Lex profiles.“I think language is really key in queer communities. We use words to describe ourselves in ways that hetero-straight people don't.
