Government Spends Thousands on Gay Sex

January 23, 2015

Alright, maybe not gay sex itself, but the government is spending over $400,000 on studying apps like Grindr. The reason? Protection.

“The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent nearly a half a million dollars studying gay hookup apps such as Grindr. The government awarded $432,000 to Columbia University to interview gay men who use GPS dating apps and determine whether it increases their likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behavior.”
