Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I'm sure you don't believe me either, but when my friend came out in his early 20s I went with him to gay bars like a half dozen times to show support. Every time I would get compliments, and it was really a pleasant exchange like this except instead of girlfriend being around I let them know I was there to help a friend feel comfortable.
Two times they bought me a drink, and I was never made to feel unwelcome since I was there to be supportive.
Plus the compliments really did make me feel good about myself.
Even my sorry ass has experienced this ...sorta kinda... once, but no drinks, and only one person sort of maybe seemed to be interested .. a little. Or maybe I was just imagining it...
Damn now I don't feel so good about myself ๐
If they might have seemed interested they probably were. Assume the best!
