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'd probably have as hard a time getting over the dog-dick thing as they seem to lol. If animal sex (simulated or otherwise) is a core part of someone's personality, I don't think we're gonna get along, and I'm far from upset about that. I also don't think it's doing any good for LGBTQ+ acceptance to be associated with.
LGBTQ+ acceptance isn't about throwing specific people under the bus in order to win the favor of bigots. That's what the right-wing gays are doing when they speak out against trans people, as if being gay is fine but being trans is a bridge too far. As for kinkshaming just read up on anything regarding keeping kink out of pride. I don't share everyone else's kinks either but I fully support their right to have them.
While a slight-to-decent majority of furries appear to be in the LGBTQ+ community (at least according to Wikipedia), I'd hope that no one would say "Because you're accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, even if you're straight and don't identify as part of that community, you must be part of the furry community." Just because there's LGBTQ+ people into odd kinks like bondage, humiliation, sounding, etc., there's no reason you would have to be interested in those things to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Same thing with furries.
