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.

Since when!?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I know it sounds crazy today, but artists like Elton John and Liberace were considered "light in the loafers" back in the day. Calling them "gay" would have been an insult to their character, so people found ways to dodge that. Not like anyone didn't know, you just didn't say "gay" in polite company.

tl;dr: If you think gay rights suck now, you should have been around in the 80's.

How did he manage to hide it so well?

I just looked about another list about "Celebraties you did not know where LGBTQ+" and it starts off with Miley Cyrus and Elliot Page. Truly shocking realization. Lady Gaga, Neil Patrick Harris, even Lil Nas X? No way! I'm scared George Takei might be on this list too 😆

Nearly spit out my drink. Next they'll say that cast of Queer Eye aren't straight either.
