It’s that time again — the gays are logging in, the votes are rolling in, and Grindr has officially dropped the most anticipated wrap-up of the year: Grindr Unwrapped 2025.
Forget Spotify Wrapped — this is our cultural compass. A global snapshot of queer connection, chaos, and charisma, Grindr Unwrapped highlights the moments, the memes, and the Mother(s) who defined how the LGBTQ+ community showed up, hooked up, and lit up the grid this year.
The Gayest Data on Earth
Every December, Grindr pulls more than just stats — it captures the essence of gay digital life. From who we thirsted over to what we hate-watched (and loved every second of), this data-driven deep dive into queer pop culture is an annual tradition that says more about us than any algorithm ever could.
Unwrapped isn’t just about swipes and DMs. It’s a celebration of community, comedy, and connection — the unfiltered year-end report on how gays worldwide flirted, fought, and flourished online in 2025.
Returning Categories That Slay
Fan-favorite categories are back, including: Mother of the Year, Hate Watch of the Year, and Hottest Man of the Year
And because 2025 refuses to be subtle, this year’s edition introduces brand-new categories like: Mother in Training, Best Beef, and Most Iconic Tag of the Year
Thousands of Grindr users have already weighed in to define this year’s queer canon.
Last Year’s Highlights (and Gay Gasps)
Need a reminder of last year’s winners before you cast your vote? Here are a few unforgettable moments from Grindr Unwrapped 2024:
- Gay Gasp of the Year: Anthony Ammirati, the French pole vaulter who redefined “clearing the bar.”
- Hate Watch of the Year: Emily in Paris (we’re still hate-watching, by the way).
- Mother of the Year: Charli XCX, of course.
- Babygirl of the Year: Troye Sivan, the eternal twink we’d protect at all costs.
