Any LGBTQ?

[Robeatics]

I might just not be looking in the right places, but I haven't really seen any LGBTQ threads around. Considering my age I can't really go to pride or clubs/bars or anything of that nature, so this is a decent, more sociable middle ground. Where are you guys?

Whats the Q stand for?

[Kaga]

There are quite a few LGBT individuals here. We just don't tend to make that many threads about it. Instead, we all just kind of mingle together without thinking much of anything about it. *shrugs*

And, if you ask me, that's kind of the best possible scenario, there. Total equality and all that, you know?

Queer, supposedly.

I personally can't bring myself to see "queer" as a non-negative term so I've been sticking to the original four-letter abbreviation since that seems to satisfy just about everyone I encounter.

Hey, just testing the waters.

Yeah, I can totally understand the negative connotation, and a few members of the community have been reclaiming it as a more positive catch-all term. Sorry if it offended anybody. :c

This.

Those sort of long running topic threads are usually found in those forums. The more informal/friendly would likely be Member's Lounge.

I can always open up a new one in the Lounge, if people would be interested!

There are way too many variants to keep track of. Back when I was in high school, some group came and did a presentation, and their acronym was 8-10 letters long.

But yes, there are plenty that include asexual.

Just goes to show how many sexualities there are.

All those, as well as Pansexual and Two-Spirit. May have been more. It was a few years ago.

EDIT: And yes, they included Allies. So clearly it was more than 8-10.

[Robeatics]

I've always felt pretty weird about some allies chucking themselves into the acronym, even if it's only in certain variations. I mean, being supportive can be hard sometimes, but it sort of takes away from the acknowledgement of the struggle that the LGBT+ community faces daily.
