Gay Mormon Dating Sites
If you're a Mormon man who’s gay or bisexual and looking for dating platforms that respect both your sexuality and your relationship to faith, this guide helps you choose. There isn’t a large ecosystem of dating sites built specifically for gay Mormons, so the best approach is a mix of mainstream LGBTQ apps, faith-aware platforms, and community-focused spaces. Below you’ll find recommended options, why each fits certain needs, practical selection tips, and safety guidance.
Who this guide is for
This page is for English-speaking adults who identify with the Latter-day Saints community (current, former, or culturally raised) and who are seeking romantic or dating connections as gay, bisexual, or queer men. It’s useful whether you’re:
- open about being gay and want to find local partners with similar faith backgrounds;
- still figuring out your relationship with the Church and want discretion;
- interested in long-term dating or casual connections and want to choose an app accordingly;
- looking for advice on how to communicate faith-related boundaries and safety concerns online.
Best options for gay Mormon dating sites and apps
Below are practical platform categories and specific recommendations, with notes on who they suit best. None of these are perfect substitutes for a dedicated "gay Mormon" site, but together they cover most needs.
Mainstream LGBTQ apps (best for meeting other gay men quickly)
Apps like Grindr, Scruff, and similar location-based platforms reach large queer communities and are often the quickest way to meet local people. They’re best if you want to gauge the local scene, find potential dates near you, or connect casually. Strengths: large user base and fast matches. Limitations: profiles can be brief and may attract hookups rather than relationship-seekers.
Profile-friendly dating apps (best for relationship-focused searches)
Platforms such as OkCupid or Hinge allow more detailed profiles and questions, making it easier to communicate faith, values, and relationship goals up front. If you prefer people who take longer profiles seriously, these services tend to surface matches looking for meaningful relationships. Note: Hinge and OkCupid allow sexual orientation preferences and have more nuanced filters than simple hookup apps.
Faith-focused or conservative dating sites (use cautiously)
There are Mormon-oriented sites that cater to LDS singles, but most are designed for heterosexual matching. If you’re searching these sites, check whether their policies and community will respect LGBTQ users before investing time or money. For background on Mormon-specific platforms and how they differ from general faith sites, see this overview of a Mormon dating website.
Community groups and support networks (best for emotional support and slower introductions)
Online groups, forums, and local LGBTQ-Mormon support organizations don’t replace dating apps, but they’re excellent for building friendships, getting introductions, and learning from people with similar experiences. If discretion matters, these networks can help you move at your own pace while finding emotionally compatible partners.
Why these options fit gay Mormon daters
Choice matters because gay Mormon daters have varied priorities: religious compatibility, safety, privacy, and the type of relationship sought. The combination above works because:
- Mainstream LGBTQ apps give you volume and local reach.
- Profile-friendly apps let you disclose faith-related preferences and screening questions without oversharing.
- Faith-focused sites may connect you to culturally LDS people, but you should verify whether the environment is affirming.
- Community groups offer slower, trust-based introductions that often lead to more thoughtful connections.
How to choose the right platform
Use this short decision checklist to match platforms to your priorities:
- Goal: Are you looking for casual dates, a long-term partner, or community support? Choose large LGBTQ apps for casual, profile apps for relationships, and community groups for support.
- Privacy: If being discreet is important, prefer apps with good block/report tools and minimal public sharing. Avoid connecting social profiles if you don’t want mutual friends alerted.
- Faith transparency: If faith alignment matters, pick apps where you can write a paragraph about your beliefs or ask screening questions early.
- Local culture: In areas with few out LGBTQ Mormon people, broader apps with sizable user bases will increase your chances of finding someone compatible.
- Safety: Verify profiles, meet in public places, and tell a friend your plan for first meetups.

Practical profile and messaging tips
- Be clear but selective about disclosure: A short sentence like “Raised LDS; exploring faith and relationships” signals background without oversharing.
- Use screening questions: Ask about relationship goals and comfort with faith differences early to save time.
- Respect privacy: Avoid posting identifiable photos or linking to personal social media until trust is built.
- Test the water in messages: Ask about values, family expectations, and how a partner’s faith matters to them.
FAQ
1. Are there dating sites specifically for gay Mormons?
Not widely. Most dedicated Mormon dating services are oriented toward heterosexual matching. That’s why a mixed approach—LGBTQ apps plus profile-friendly mainstream platforms and community groups—usually works better for gay Mormons.
2. Should I use a Mormon dating site if I’m not openly out?
Exercise caution. Many Mormon-specific dating sites assume heterosexual matching. If you join, check privacy settings and community rules. In many cases, using an app that supports LGBTQ identities discreetly is a safer option.
3. How do I bring up faith when messaging someone?
Frame it as a conversational question—“How important is faith in your day-to-day life?”—rather than an interrogation. Share your own stance briefly and ask about theirs to find common ground or respectful differences.
4. Is safety different when dating within a faith community?
Some additional sensitivities exist, like community visibility and family reactions. Keep meetings public until you trust someone, be mindful of what you share about your background, and consider local legal protections for LGBTQ people when arranging in-person dates.
Conclusion
There isn’t a single go-to directory of gay Mormon dating sites, but by combining mainstream LGBTQ apps, detail-oriented dating platforms, and faith-aware communities you can build a practical strategy for finding compatible partners. Choose platforms based on your goals—privacy, relationship intent, and how openly you want to discuss faith. With thoughtful profiles, clear screening, and community support, you can find matches who respect both your sexuality and your relationship to Mormonism.
