Description
This paper explores the intersection of gender, sexuality, and religion from the perspective of queer Christians using dating apps. Using Foucauldian discourse analysis, I analyzed 15 interviews and 9 participant self-studies of their own dating app use. My analysis shows the ways queer Christians use dating apps to find people to date in a very thin dating market and end up doing queer identity work in the process.
