President of gay dating app Grindr slammed for saying he believes marriage is 'a holy matrimony between a man and woman'

Scott Chen, the president of gay dating app, Grindr, has been slammed by the gay community for saying he agrees that 'marriage is a holy matrimony between a man and woman.'

The father of two who has a wife made the remarks Monday in a now-deleted Facebook post.

Screenshot of the controversial post was shared by Grindr's news vertical INTO. 

The site reports that the California-based CTO had shared an article on Facebook about HTC president and CEO Cher Wang supporting anti-LGBTQ causes through two nonprofit organizations and her attempt to influence Taiwan's same-sex marriage decision.

Responding to this, Chen shared his views including criticizing Wang for funding organizations against gay marriage. He also revealed that he would be boycotting any of her smartphones and accessories from her Taiwan-based company for a lifetime.

'There are people who believe that marriage is a holy matrimony between a man and a woman. I agree but that's none of our business,' Chen wrote in Chinese, which was translated by an independent translator for INTO. 

'There are also people who believe that the purpose of marriage is to create children that carry their DNA. That's also none of our business. There are people that are simply different from you, who desperately want to get married. They have their own reasons,' he added 

He continued by taking a jab at HTC's Wang: 'Getting married is a personal thing, rich can't donate to the real poor hungry war disaster that needs help? Why spend money to stop people in love from getting married? Is nothing important in life?'

'Right, I won't buy HTC Products for a lifetime, and I won't donate any money to Taiwan's Christian groups for a lifetime!'
