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.

Title and image source from this Mastodon toot by [email protected]. I even took the damn title because I couldn't think of anything more apt.

As always, respect my trans homies or I make your pronouns was/were.

Being cis doesn't mean we automatically are comfortable in our own skin, and a lot of this introspection is universal to the human experience, and super valuable. Everyone should have this dialogue with themselves at some point.

Having trans people in my life led me to question my relationship with gender. In doing so, I discovered that while I am cisgender, I have a lot of hangups about the expectations of my gender in society and among certain cultural groups, including the one I was raised in. It's helped to resolve some things in my mind and discover things about myself, and I'm grateful for that.

This is why "gender affirming care" isn't just for trans people. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable with who they are!

Trans rights are very much the same thing as human rights
