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.

Yes you are. You discriminate all the time with things and people because you are free to choose the things you enjoy or it's practical in a given situation. For example, if you choose to go to work in a car then you're discriminating bicycles, and if you choose to go walking you're discriminating both cars and bicycles. Needless to say, this won't make you a carphobe, if it's just practical or if you just enjoy to walk. Unless, you are really afraid of getting into cars.
You can like trans people, but if you are not comfortable around penises or vaginas or the lack of one of these, it is what it is. I mean that's the whole point of respecting diversity. What would be the difference between forcing any person to live with a transgender person and a cisman forced to be in a straight marriage? I don't see one. I think the bigot position is to force a given behavior to people, as if it was a sacred norm.
