These are the best lesbian dating apps that all queer women and non-binary people can use

Dating is hard. There's an entire world of options right there on your phone screen (we know, we know, a vast majority of them suck), yet putting yourself out there – whether you're looking for long-lasting love or simply some casual LOLs – can be daunting, disappointing and absolutely terrifying. Yeah, dating is really hard.

But one thing's for sure: dating is much easier if you're a heterosexual, cisgender person, not least because dating sites and apps are mostly built with straight people in mind. If you're lesbian, bisexual, trans, non-binary, pansexual, or basically any LGBTQIA+ identity, the world of dating apps can be infuriatingly exclusive, inaccessible and heteronormative.

So, since it's Lesbian Visibility Week (April 24 - 30) which is all about increasing the awareness of lesbian women and the issues they face, we went about searching for the best dating apps out there for lesbian, queer women or non-binary people. Some of the below dating apps are specifically designed for the queer community, while others are mainstream dating apps that have recently made substantial steps towards inclusivity.

These include both Hinge Tinder, believe it or not. The obvious benefit of using these mainstream apps is simply that they are used by so many people, which is especially useful if you live in a less-populated area where matches on newer, queer-specific dating apps may be slim pickings. Plus, both apps have substantially advanced their sexual orientation and gender options, so get kudos from us.

In January this year Hinge, with support from GLAAD, Hinge released new conversation starters for profiles, specifically for LGBT users to help the community better connect based on similarities, interests, and compatibility. Apparently, the top five cities in the UK for LGBTQ+ Hinge daters are London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Belfast, according to the number of LGBTQ+ Hinge users there.
