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.
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.

I'm glad you recognize that there are things that simply cannot be compromised on. Generally speaking, when marginalized groups punch up like this they're painting a broad brush and can't always account for allies. Part of being a privileged ally is recognizing when something does or doesn't apply to you
I get that. And I’m more than willing to swallow my pride for the cause. I just see opportunities for peaceful progress narrowing as each side grows more polarized and simply disregards each other. The stark reality is that we either find a way to open dialogue or somehow separate into two states (which is quite the nightmare scenario the more you think about it). I’m not talking LGBTQ+ issues. I’m just taking general political polarization
