Sniffies is a map-based casual meeting app for gay and bi men. The platform caters to ‘Cruisers’, men who are walking or driving about certain areas looking for a casual connection.

Sniffies sets itself apart from other apps such as Grindr because it is specific about its value: creating hookups. Eli Martin, the platform&#;s Head Marketing Officer, told Slate Magazine:

&#;Grindr’s really become love a Facebook. It’s love you can go on there and you can find anything. You can find a boyfriend; you can maybe sell a car. Who knows, uncover your best friend. But Sniffies is superspecific. You’re going on there to find guys, have these intimate experiences&#;&#;.

The platform provides users with a true time map that is updated to show nearby Cruisers, popular meeting spots, and active groups. As part of its casual vibe, the platform has multiple options to preserve privacy and anonymise interactions between users.

Unless you indicate up to Sniffies Plus, users will automatically demonstrate up on the genuine time map when using the app. However, the app won’t display users’ actual location, instead adjus

Mapping the Gay Guides

Visualizing Gay Space and American Life


Welcome to Mapping the Lgbtq+ Guides!

While operating one of his many gay bars in the s, Bob Damron started a side project publishing gay journey guides that featured bars like his. Called the Bob Damron Address Books, these guides proved trendy and became a valuable resource for gay travelers looking for friends, companions, and safety.

First published in an era when most states banned same-sex closeness both in public and private spaces, these tour guides helped gays (and to a lesser extent lesbians) find bars, cocktail lounges, bookstores, restaurants, bathhouses, cinemas, and cruising grounds that catered to people like themselves. Much prefer the Green Books of the s and s, which African Americans used to find friendly businesses that would cater to black citizens in the era of Jim Crow apartheid, Damron’s guidebooks aided a generation of lgbtq+ people in identifying sites of community, pleasure, and politics.

Damron’s guidebooks were part of a growing interest in gay travel reference publications that began i
