Want Flair?

This subreddit is by and for people who are Gender and Sexual Minorities (GSM), 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 and in:

The r/lgbt FAQ


IRC Chat: irc.synirc.net #rlgbt - info and rules


Rules

  • Rule 0: All content including links and personal thoughts on recent chicken restaurant-related events must be posted in the designated "Hot Topic" thread! Please check it for the latest information.

  • Rule 1: No homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, racism, serophobia, or misogyny. If you are unclear about what may constitute any of the above, please see the LGBT FAQ. If you are using triggering language in an educational or demonstrative capacity, we ask that you please wrap it in a trigger warning, e.g. [problematic language](/trigger). 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"

  • Rule 2: 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. /r/ainbow does not moderate discussion, but the community will expect that you treat them with respect. For more information, see /r/ainbow's FAQ.

  • Rule 3: Meta discussion will be directed to /r/LGBTOpenModmail. The mods check it frequently and will take suggestions into consideration.

  • Rule 4: Threads that seem to have been taken over by off-topic and/or excessively inflammatory discussion due to linking from other subreddits (Including but not limited to ShitRedditSays, SubredditDrama, and MensRights) will be deleted so they do not appear on r/lgbt's front page. They will still be accessible from outside links. Deleted threads may be unmoderated, so keep this in mind. They are officially disowned and you are on your own if you participate in them.

[–]WhyNoKinTheFuWhat kind of flair is this anyway? I'm gay btw. 13 points14 points ago

Isn't this a picture of those "hate the sin, not the sinner"-types?

[–]2718281828 4 points5 points ago

Sauce.

Fuck those types of people.

...You mean, people would lie to an abused and mistreated group of fellow humans on a day that is supposed to be a celebration for us? bambi eyes

[–]Elysianbtrfly[S] 4 points5 points ago

How can you tell? I'm a Christian and I HATE the way religion has treated homosexuals. It's really hard for me to hate a sin that doesn't exist.

[–]tgjer 2 points3 points ago

Unfortunately, there's been a move among some anti-gay churches to specifically show up at Pride events with the "sorry how the church has treated you" signs.

There are always churches at pride, honest ones that have been part of our community for decades. These guys unfortunately are not among them.

[–]WhyNoKinTheFuWhat kind of flair is this anyway? I'm gay btw. 4 points5 points ago

I think the guys in this particular picture happen to have the "hate the sin not the sinner" idea.

[–]Elysianbtrfly[S] 4 points5 points ago

Again, how can you tell? That seems somewhat judgmental to me.

[–]WhyNoKinTheFuWhat kind of flair is this anyway? I'm gay btw. 5 points6 points ago

I mean as in this picture has been reposted before, and one of the comments was explaining how these are the "hate the sin not the sinner" types.

[–]Elysianbtrfly[S] 3 points4 points ago

Thanks for clarifying. It's unfortunate if thats the case...and maybe more unfortunate that in many opinions, that's considered real progress.

[–]ihaveopposablethumbsIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 3 points4 points ago

Its always refreshing to be reminded that one can be religious but not a total homophobe. :)

[–]Dreamingemerald 5 points6 points ago

Really, these same people, and often this exact picture gets reposted to /r/lgbt every few weeks. In every thread it is brought up that they are conniving little snakes trying to get queers into their church so they can convert them. They only display a message of love in public, but behind closed doors and in interviews they confirm that their belief is that the gay "lifestyle" is sinful. They only act nice to get you in the door of their church.

So discrimination is over now, right?

There are many real apologies out there. See the Heartland Proclamation for just one.
