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.

US religious right at center of anti-LGBTQ+ message pushed around the world (www.theguardian.com)

When the US evangelical preacher and anti-LGBTQ+ crusader Scott Lively landed in Uganda in 2009 to warn of the “gay agenda”, he was arriving after a series of culture-war defeats at home.

More and more US states were recognizing same-sex marriage, and opinion polls were showing fewer and fewer Americans objected. Lively was there to offer Uganda’s lawmakers some advice on how to drum up outrage. “Emphasize the issue of the homosexual recruitment of children,” he advised.

Five years later, Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni signed a law that made same-sex relationships punishable by death, asserting that western groups and gay people were “coming into our schools and recruiting young children into homosexuality”.

Isn't it curious that they're constantly harping about the "gay agenda" while clearly showing an agenda of their own. Not even making a secret about it.
