Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

I showed my mom Star Trek Discovery because we used to watch TNG when I was a kid. There is a scene where Stamets and his partner are in the bathroom brushing their teeth and talking. It takes a moment, but my mom catches on, and she yells, "Why are they in my Star Trek?" And then grabs her keys and gets into her car and drives off.

I'm not going to be sad when she dies.

She sounds like a cunt. "My" Star Trek is always inclusive like from the start. Dunno what she was watching.

You nailed it. My first girlfriend was black. My mom freaked out because she thought I was going to give her "mixed" grandbabies. I was 10. I've tried over the years, and I've seen improvement, but she's 70 this year and I'm running out of effort. She's going to die miserable and hateful and the world will be better when she's gone.

Look, I respect she's your mum but what the fuck.

Im Maori, wife white AF - gets sunburn walking infront of a bright TV level white. If anyone has a problem with our 3 "mixed" kids in front of her, let's just say she will hold nothing back.

I appreciate the sentiment, but you don't need to show her respect. Respect is earned, and she hasn't.
