As Micaddressed, Grindr's tweet trivialized the potential reality of Trump's plan to deport immigrants. The tweet invokes white privilege and neglects to consider undocumented immigrants who identify as members of the LGBTQ community, who could face severe dangers as a result of deportation.
Following the responses on Tuesday night, Branum addressed the offensive tweet, apologizing that his "white privilege" made him feel it was okay to joke about deportation.
