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.

"They are clearly training their children to become fairies and butt pirates." – Stereotypical Christian Fundamentalist

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 4 points5 points ago

HAH! Beautiful!

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 36 points37 points ago

Clearly horrible people. They dressed the one kid up as Smee. No one wants to be Smee! Should've gone with one of the Lost Boys.

[–]jesus_sweptArt, Music, Writing 13 points14 points ago

Not true, the Bob Hoskins version of Smee is a brilliant Smee. He's the embodiment of the perfect literary foil (still talking about Hook here). I like Smee.

But in the picture, one kid is matching with one parent. One dad is Peter Pan, so one kid is their sidekick, Tinkerbell. One dad is Hook, so one kid is their sidekick, Smee. It has to match!

[–]Simcamb 5 points6 points ago

I just googled Bob Hoskins to see how he was doing.

Sad news.

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 1 point2 points ago

Why should they have to be symmetrical? Why can't the two kids match with Senor Pan, "fighting" Cap'n Hook?

Also I never saw Hook.

[–]jesus_sweptArt, Music, Writing 6 points7 points ago

Also I never saw Hook.

You must.

[–]mr_jellyneck 3 points4 points ago

You can't even say Smee without a sneer of superiority. Abusive!

[–]SexualHerAssment 0 points1 point ago

And that hook is way too pointy, someone's eye could be poked out!

[–]pac212 10 points11 points ago

That is absolutely disgusting.

The pumpkins in the background I mean. I hate pumpkins.

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 2 points3 points ago

Can't wait for October, or as I call it: National Pumpkin Murdering Month.

Yet another example of how great it is for gay people... if you're rich.

[–]noflag 35 points36 points ago

THANK YOU! from a class-conscious straight ally.

[–]silverrabbit 20 points21 points ago

I think you mean yet another example of how great it is for rich people.

[–]yourdadsbffgaysha gown 2 points3 points ago

They're a high-profile example of a happy family with same-sex parents. Of course they're going to be financially well-off; that's why they're so well-known in the first place.

Also, it's not like same-sex couples need to be rich in order to have happy families.

[–]WhatPeriod 6 points7 points ago

I am so pleased to see this comment upvoted. Also can I add "white" and "male" in there?

[–]kralliceHealing 10 points11 points ago

You guys seem to love being angry

[–]thecritic06I made an awesome post 5 points6 points ago

There is a lot to be angry at.

[–]jeberry12 2 points3 points ago

Those costumes, except for Hook, would not be difficult to make really cheaply. In fact, my old roommate made a costume that looked almost exactly like Peter Pan's for about 10 or 15 dollars.

[–]thecritic06I made an awesome post -1 points0 points ago

Hilarious.

[–]iswrongaboutyou 2 points3 points ago

Wow. Instead of just being happy for a joyous family you turn it negative. Congratulations.

[–]thecritic06I made an awesome post 3 points4 points ago

Look, I'm glad they're happy. But the fact remains that there are substantial barriers that LGBT people face to create families like this which straight people do not, most of which are overcome with money.

[–]iswrongaboutyou 1 point2 points ago

Maybe it's just on the forefront of your mind. I don't know your life and I'm not trying to cast it aside. It's a worthy topic of discussion, but the juxtaposition of the wonderful picture and your comment was jarring. They're a happy family and it just seems wrong to have such a bitter response.

[–]thecritic06I made an awesome post 1 point2 points ago

Well, I feel it misrepresents reality to LGBT people to present the contents of the picture as things most LGBT people can realistically achieve. Because they can't. I'd rather have a difficult truth than a comforting falsehood.

[–]skerit 16 points17 points ago

Why hello there, mr Pan.

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 14 points15 points ago

I wonder if he is pan...

[–]curiousducky 21 points22 points ago

Is that NPH?

[–]FootFuck 14 points15 points ago

It sure is.

[–]o8643 1 point2 points ago

Ooooooohhhhhhh. Well, that explains a lot.

[–]telperiontree 7 points8 points ago

That is a fantastic idea. And great costumes - there's no way that was in a cheap-o store. Did they make em?

Edit: totally didn't recognize NPH under all those brown curls. Now I understand.

[–]Tiktaky 2 points3 points ago

While we are discussing the costumes, I love that tinkerbell has a skin-toned skivvee under her dress, That is very smart parental foresight to protect her from the cold but also ensure that if the straps on the dress slip, she is covered up so there isn't any wardrobe malfunctions.

[–]TheRealOG 5 points6 points ago

How many times are you guys gonna repost this?

[–]fabulouszombie 3 points4 points ago

This is just a photo. I like NPH and all, but can we please not deduce the happiness of a family and the parenting skills from a picture?

[–]shiny_fsh 1 point2 points ago

I think you mean "deduce". "Deduct" means to take away.

[–]fabulouszombie 0 points1 point ago

Hah, yes, thank you. I'll edit it.

[–]likli 2 points3 points ago

This picture never fails to make me smile. What a beautiful family!

[–]ThatOneClone 4 points5 points ago

I'm not gay, but it tears me up inside to know that people out there worry so much about a certain group. They are happy, let them be.

[–]schuppaloop[S] 3 points4 points ago

I'm not either but that couple is a shining example of parenthood, not just gay parenthood.

That's their daughter and her name is Harper.

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 0 points1 point ago

After the author?

[–]purplemacaroni 9 points10 points ago

I think you may have missed that there are two babies in the picture - neither of which are even close to three years old and one is biologically NPH's and the other is biologically David's.

There are no adopted three year olds to see here.

[–]Raazzuls 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for the explanation. Glad to be proven incorrect when this is the argument.

[–]purplemacaroni 0 points1 point ago

You're very welcome :)

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 1 point2 points ago

Huh. I had no idea. Then again, I tend not to pay much attention to celebrity couples, no matter their orientation.

[–]purplemacaroni 0 points1 point ago

One of my most embarrassing interests is celebs and their kids, so I know an awful lot about these things. I'm cool like that.

[–]Aefishmשָׁלוֹם -4 points-3 points ago

Non gays really shouldn't be wearing a pride bracelet. Maybe an ally one...

[–]Raazzuls 1 point2 points ago

Yes, actively work to exclude allies from your haute exclusive lifestyle. It definitely wouldn't KILL YOUR ENTIRE MOVEMENT or anything. Genius.

[–]Aefishmשָׁלוֹם 0 points1 point ago

No.... The reason I say that is because usually rainbow jewelry is used to announce to other gays that you are one of them and available for romance.

[–]magdalene25 3 points4 points ago

Just curious, if wearing rainbow jewellery is not ok because some people use it announce an availability to people of their own gender, should we also avoid wearing things like mini-skirts, tight t-shirts and make up, as these things are generally used by heterosexual women to announce that they are available?

Sorry, you may not mean it to, but this sort of reasoning does come across as a bit elitist.

TBH, sexuality shouldn't matter unless you're actually attracted to someone and thus want to know if they are attracted to you. Yes they might reject you because you are not their preferred gender, that's a risk you take, but they may also reject you because they don't like muscular physiques, or blondes, or long hair or people who wear eyeliner. There are many things that people look for in a partner, gender is just one of them.

If you can't deal with people wearing rainbow jewellery not as a "I'm homosexual and available" signal, then maybe you should have a look at why it matters so much to you.

[–]grapthorIntrospection, Contemplation, Curiosity, Spirituality 2 points3 points ago

Also, something tells me that if you were to hit on someone because they were wearing some rainbow accoutrement, and it turned out they were a straight ally, I don't think it'd be much worse of a rejection than if they were gay and just not into you.

[–]gamerlen 4 points5 points ago

Hah. The Tinkerbell kid's expression is adorable. n_n

[–]maxfachineArt, Music, Writing 6 points7 points ago

This one again...

[–]DeathSpank 0 points1 point ago

OMG this is absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen... and the kids are cute too!

[–]grayscale_rainbow 0 points1 point ago

This is too cute ! :)

[–]blue_barracuda 1 point2 points ago

is that NPH?

[–]H3ARTB3AT 1 point2 points ago

NPH

[–]shiny_fsh 0 points1 point ago

It's a nice photo and all, but I don't really see how it shows good parenting in the picture. Sure, they are wearing awesome costumes, but the kids aren't old enough to appreciate that they are wearing fancy and expensive clothes so it's mostly for the adults. Other than that there's no particular display of affection between parents and children; all up a pretty average picture of parenting.

[–]you_filthy_animal -1 points0 points ago

Beauties -- all four of you!! What a sweet picture! :3

[–]FreeloadingAtheist 0 points1 point ago

Swear to god this has been reposted about 10 times in the last month

[–]darkartistliz -1 points0 points ago

I love this pic so much. I posted it on my Facebook, helped me get rod of a lot of unwanted "friends"

[–]Anterai 1 point2 points ago

Oh god, these gays don't even hit their children, don't act possessive, and don't teach em to be a slave to god.
They shall burn in hell for loving their kids.

[–]vivvavLaughter, Comedy, Sharing 0 points1 point ago
