Lesbehonest, as if online dating as a Latine person wasn’t hard enough…Being a queer Latine person using the dating apps that are geared toward cis-gendered, heteronormative relationships makes things that much harder. Finding other Latine lesbians on the mainstream apps is like finding a needle in a haystack. So, what’s a queer Latine to do?

Our app is made by queer women, for queer women. It already has over 13 million users worldwide and is growing rapidly.

Queer people of color (QPOC) are often made to feel on the outside of LGBTQIA+ spaces. Despite being trailblazers in the history of the LGBTQIA+ movement, many clubs, bars, and even community spaces can feel unwelcoming of QPOC, and Latine women are no strangers to that feeling. Whether intentional or not, it can hurt to feel misunderstood by your own community. So it’s important to surround yourself with people who understand the struggles and the joys of being a queer woman. Apps like HER are an incredible resource to find your chosen queer Latine family.
Dating apps, while obviously great for dating, can be just as integral in finding people who get you and building a community around you. If you move to a new city or visit a new town, dating apps can be a great way to find out what’s going on nearby, get a taste of the queer scene there, and meet new people. Even if you’re just at home, there are always new people you haven’t met and new things to experience right on your doorstep. So don’t hold back and keep an open mind. When it comes to dating apps, you never know what can happen.
There are lots of different ways to click with someone – whether it’s love at first sight or just a platonic connection through shared experience. Even if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for yet. Stay open to whatever could happen.
As an LGBTQIA+ Latine woman, of course, you don’t have to only date other Latine women. But there are many ways the culture is unique and beautiful, and sometimes only other Latine people can truly appreciate that.
For some Latine people, having a partner that speaks Spanish is important, so that they can communicate with your family easily. For others, having your partner understand your culture and its history can make you feel seen. Even if you’ve just had a bad date experience where someone called you ‘spicy’ or something equally infuriating, you might just want to date another Latine woman to help you dive back into dating, It’s okay to want any of these things. And if you do, you’ll find someone who shares your values on HER.
You don’t need to break the bank to find people near you who share your values, appreciate your culture and are looking for the same things you are. HER is completely free and available to anyone with a smartphone – which is just about everyone.
Wherever you are and whatever you want, there are thousands of potential dates, lovers, or friends on HER. The diverse community on HER is perfect for queer women looking to get back out there. And there’s no time like the present.
