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.

Man, you really are an idealogue, aren't you? Just absolutely convinced you are right, that other people should do exactly as you believe, huh? You might want to see a counselor about that or else you're gonna have a miserable life not getting what you want all the time.

try to engage with them productively, instead of pretending they don't exist?

You're the kind of person who would tell Black community leaders to go sit down with white supremacists to try to get them to listen to their needs., 😂

Newsflash, genius: Bigots see us as subhuman. Literally. There's no "engaging with them productively" when they don't see you as an equal and deserving of the same rights they enjoy. Having those conversations is the duty of allies, not the oppressed themselves. The job of the oppressed is to refuse to submit.

I think you might be the one needing therapy, my friend, if you are so quick and eager to judge strangers you don't know on the Internet. 😊

Otherwise such erratic behavior gone unchecked might lead to a lifetime of frustration due to an inability to make friends or make progress toward your goals. 😊

I am content with my life, can you say the same?

And news flash, genius: by your definition, everyone is a bigot because we all fall into the trap of dehumanizing others.

Ever heard of the saying, "Hurt people, hurt people."?

Silent bigots are turned into dangerous bigots when they are subject to bigotry themselves.
