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.

As a bi person who does support trans people, I dislike pride parades b/c they make us all look bad. Now what?

Don't go to them. Seems simple.

As a straight guy, I like going with my gf because the atmosphere and party is great. Also, just to show support

[–] solarbabies@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

good for you! in my experience the vibes highly depend on the city

[–] storcholus@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

That makes sense

It's called "pride". If you're not proud of it then I guess just don't show up.

I am proud, and I'd like to join a movement that actually accomplishes meaningful change for the acceptance of LGBT+ people, which I believe pride parades currently do not.

I'll join the pride parade the day the goal becomes to convince others that we're just like them, with jobs, families and bills to pay. Not sex-crazed maniacs, which is the stereotype perpetuated by a small minority amplified on right wing media.

I know, it was a month ago, but....

There are extroverts and introverts. Some people are almost totally naked or dressed very special, dancing around, trying to get the attention....

And there is the huge majority that goes there just to support the community, maybe with a flag, maybe without...

Guess, who is in the newspapers the next day? The quiet, shy guy from nextdoor or the extrovert I described above?

I am from Germany and here, the mix between those 2 types of people is good IMO..
