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.

Oh no, for some of them it's totally different. Also there is a lot of homophobia inside the homosexual circles. Couldn't believe it myself, but sometimes if you don't look or act like the cliche or like common homosexual stuff like music or movies, you're an imposter and not really gay. Saw it happen myself at a lesbian party. Two girls just looking female were bullied cause it's "not lesbian" for a couple to be both female looking, that's just two best friends being confused. "It's just a phase" is a thing I heard quite a lot that evening. Never knew you signed up for a membership with rules and stuff when you're "entering" the LG area. Just thought if you only like women as a woman you're lesbian and same for men only liking men, but it seems that's not the case.
Yeah... ugh. I know there's a lot of biphobia (and, as OP mentioned, racism/ableism/classism) in the community, too, which is equally fucking absurd. I guess being queer doesn't necessarily mean you're any less of an ignorant asshole.
