My latest tattoo, which I got a week ago: the David Bowie lightning bolt in bi pride colors (second bi pride tattoo I've gotten in June).

This was drawn by one of the Lilo and Stitch directors, Dean Deblois, on the very day gay marriage was legalized across the US. Another reminder of the evil of the remake, which destroys all progressive values.

I am building the LGBT app of my dreams, end to end encryption, a better grindr, protest organizer/finding tool, and a way to find and create local community, and connections. Looking for suggestions + feedback as well to connect with LGBT penetration testers

\[this is not an ad, this site is not publicly accessible or ready yet, I am not a business. I am a queer redditor and I see problems and am trying to help where I can\] With the current state of things in the US and the world I have had this feeling for some time that we need a way to be better connected, organized and ready to fight for our rights and the rights of others against fascism. Also, unrelated to protests but still to LGBT needs, it's no secret that the apps like grindr and sniffies etc suck and not in a good way. I feel like the LGBT community deserves so much better than what we have at the moment so I am designing the app to allow LGBT people to foster local community, find friends, romance and casual fun with unique profiles for each purpose. Utilizing end to end encryption to keep people safe from overreaching tyrannical governments, not just in the US but around the world. I am just one guy I can build the website but I don't think it would be wise to try to go about handling everything completely alone. I don't know how to find third parties to audit my app or services, and I want to make sure this tool is not used AGAINST lgbtq people. Please share any feedback, suggestions, connections, and any people with the skills to assist in these concerns who would like to assist I would love to chat with you. Thank you! Stay safe, stay loud and proud Also I know not all are able to safely protest and make their voice heard please only do so if you feel you can do so safely.

Click the (edit) button â‡§ up above!

This subreddit is by and for people who are Gender, Sexual and Romantic Minorities (GSRM), including but by no means limited to LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) people, and respect for our diversity and experiences is paramount. All are welcome to participate who agree to follow the rules outlined below:

Rules 1: Be respectful

No GSRM-Phobic content (i.e: homophobia, bi/panphobia, transphobia, aphobia, as well as racism, serophobia, ableism, or sexism) If you are submitting a post that contains hateful remarks or triggering language, please precede your post's title with [TW]. For example: "[TW] Title of Post". Do not try to start an argument for the sake of an argument. Do not make personal attacks.

2: Must have willingness to learn; no 'you're too sensitive'

Demonstrate a willingness to learn. This is a safe space. Anyone can make a mistake and accidentally say something hurtful or triggering. If you find yourself corrected for making this error, please try to learn from it. This is not a place to tell people that they need to reclaim a pejorative so you can use it, that they should laugh at jokes about them, or that they otherwise just "shouldn't be so sensitive." For lightly moderated LGBT-related discussion, we recommend /r/ainbow.

3: No bait-and-switch posts

Bait and switch type threads, where the title makes them look like a bigot but the body is supportive, are not allowed on r/lgbt. LGBTQ+ people see enough hate in our lives, without 'Gotcha' bait posts.

4: No advertisements, spam, or crowdfunders

r/lgbt is here for LGBTQ+ people, their lives, their stories, their content. It is not here for advertising or spam. This includes the advertising of crowdfunders, we cannot verify them, so for safety, we do not allow them.

5: No survey and research requests

We are unable to accommodate Survey and Research requests, posts that fall into this category shall be removed. Repeat posters will be banned. We suggest you post these requests to /r/lgbtstudies.

6: No promoting hate

Having posted to subreddits with a negative reputation is not necessarily grounds for an automatic ban, but users whose posting history contains bigotry will be met with intense scrutiny.

7: Don't share hate speech

r/lgbt is a safe space, and while we want everyone to be able to seek support and advice, sharing hate speech in any way can cause harm to the community.

8: Don't direct message individual mods about a moderation issue--use modmail!

Please send a modmail to r/lgbt rather than DMing individual moderators. This will allow the whole team to know what is going on so the correct moderator can deal with the issue.

9: NSFW Content.

r/lgbt is meant to be safe for users of all ages. Do not submit content that a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in public or at the workplace. This includes pornography, sexualized content, graphic violence, or similar. Discussions of sexual topics, including sexual health, are permitted but must be tagged NSFW.

10: Provide sources when sharing news

We require any post sharing news/social media reactions to news articles to include a link to the original article or announcement in the post body.

11: No posts asking to rate, roast, or make assumptions about you or your identity.

These posts encourage stereotyping or making assumptions about people based on presentation. Often these can make people uncomfortable and bring out a mix of stereotypes and pressure to present a specific way. This rule includes, but is not limiting to; asking whether or not you pass, asking people to guess your gender/sexuality, and asking people to make assumptions about you based on your appearance.

12: Moderator Discretion.

Unfortunately, there will always be some things that our rules do not currently or perfectly cover, in those cases we reserve the right to take action and remove anything that we think could potentially cause harm or does not fit within the spirit of the community and the safe space we maintain here, even if it do not fit one of the rules perfectly.

13: Use Content Warning flair for upsetting posts.

If you think community members might be upset by the content you are sharing, use the content warning flair, adding a short description. The post will be automatically marked as a spoiler, but please check our rules on NSFW content and sharing hate.
