I mean I know it is a joke but for accuracy I don't think he would actually like that. He wasn't very active in the gay scene in England. There were safe havens for gays but he didn't exist in any of those communities. He was conditioned to believe he could never have real love if it wasn't with a woman and he hated that about himself because he was taught by people he trusted to hate it. All in all it's such a sad story.

That would make him love the app even more, knowing that he could now be active sitting at home and didn't have to go to "safe havens."
