Gay: News, Memes and Discussion
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.
Our Partnered Discord Server: GayWave
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. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 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.

No my friend, we are not betrayers, we are ambassadors.
How? In queer unfriendly environments I feel like I pass the idea that "it's possible to be gay but look normal" and I hate it.
We're a lot of close-minded folks' first real interaction with a gay person. Some will never change, but a lot of people have their eyes opened when they realize the person they've been working with or talking to is queer. There's this sudden rush of realization many of them get, where they suddenly understand that gay people are just... well... people. Regular people. People with many of the same interests, struggles, and experiences as themselves.
I'm not pretending to be straight or hiding who I am. I'm literally just being myself. I openly talk about my boyfriend the same way anyone talks about their SO.
