Real LGBTQ

A supportive, loving community run by and for LGBTQ+ people and their allies.

Feel free to discuss anything related to LGBTQ+ issues, and remember that despite everything, we all very literally are in this together.

Rules:

  1. Kindness Always

No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member.

  1. No Bigotry

This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. "It's just a joke" is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior is not acceptable either.

  1. No Spam, NSFW, Or Other Disruptive Content or Behavior

Please respect our community and don't use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.

  1. Please Tag All Discussions About The Sub with [Meta]

Any meta threads or discussions, suggestions, etc. needs to be tagged with [Meta] in the title, that way it'll be easier for mods to find. If you have any issues with another member or what-have-you, please message a mod.

  1. Hateful People or Members of Hate Groups Not Allowed

No Nazis, fascists, anti-LGBTQ+ folks, or any member of any groups predisposed to discriminate against or cause trouble for LGBTQ+ people or the community. This includes members of the U.S. right wing. We care about the safety and well-being of our community and that means we won't allow anyone who will threaten or endanger LGBTQ+ people in the sub, and sadly, the U.S. political situation has become volatile enough where a ban of this caliber has become necessary.

  1. Please Tag Titles Of Sensitive Posts With [TW] or [CW]

Please put one of those tags on any post talking about rape, suicide, or self-harm.

  1. English Only Please

Posts and comments must be in English only so they can be properly moderated.

Note: failure to abide by the rules may result in a ban depending on severity.

Rules subject to change based on community need.

Okay so, this sub is new, but we're all here because we either are or share kinship with someone in our lives who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, so as a community, we should make friends and get to know each other.

I'll start -- hihi, I'm darthfabulous42069, and I am genderfluid. I like to paint, mainly with watercolor, although I admit I haven't painted anything in a hot minute. I have many favorite colors and many favorite foods. I keep up with politics for obvious reasons, especially climate collapse and the rapid destabilization of the U.S., including the laws that have been passed that hurt all of us. I hope you'll have me as your moderator, and I hope to do a good job.

(Obviously don't share any personally identifying information or doxx yourselves in any way, but that's a given)

Two big goofy dogs and one small mischievous parrot who terrorizes the dogs with air superiority. Stealing food and toys and all that. All of them were strays who accidentally became family, which fits in perfectly around here :)

At some point I'm gonna have to make a pet thread. What are their names?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Somehow pets get a million names. My oldest dog is 15 and called Luna AKA Moonbeam AKA Toons. In combination with the other dog she is sometimes The Simple Farmers.
