Online dating service OkCupid now allows its non-binary and LGBT users to choose their pronoun. Once they've selected their gender(s) from their profile, they can either select from a trio of options (she/her, he/him and they/them) or type in their chosen pronoun. Once entered, it will show up in the'details' section alongside gender and sexual orientation for others to publicly see. This follows Grindr's move last November allowing folks pick their pronouns to better include the app's transgender users. OkCupid added pronouns to help LGBTQ daters, per the company's blog post, to affirm those who want to share it with potential partners.

The personal data of nearly 70,000 OKCupid users has been put online for anyone to see – not by hackers, but researchers. The group scraped information from the dating site and uploaded a paper discussing their findings to an online forum that encourages researchers to share raw social science data. Although no first names were released, other information such as sexual turn-ons, orientation, user names and location were - giving enough clues to figure out their real identities. Personal data of nearly 70,000 OKCupid users has been leaked – not by hackers, but researchers. The information scraped about the site's members was username, age, gender, religious astrology, number of photos and more – a total of 36 variables.
