A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

idk if they’re part of the community or saying this for attention/an excuse, plus ik not everyone is like this, but the people who are make me sick.

i have noticed an influx of highly religious internet users claiming to be bisexual with pride flags in their bio yet saying the most bigoted, vile crap. how sick do you have to be to do that?

thinking minorities are weird and saying they deserve death while playing the minority card??

i don’t care if you’re a queer person who says shit like “lgbt lives matter!! im queer and i hate when people are homophobic!! homophobia ends now” stop trying to make yourself look good.

also some of these people are women who are “anti-feminist” and also say “women just want something to complain about 🥱” respectfully shut up!!

I doubt these people are actually part of the community. Someone else posted a link in another thread explaining that this is a strategy of the far right to splinter LBGTQ solidarity. For example, the recent move by the Trump administration to remove transgender people from Stonewall history.

I think a great deal of those people are straight or internalized homophobia + transphobia

I'm sure some large percentage are bots, and another percentage are trolls.

probably a troll that I saw, twitter bio that said “she/her | proud terf | 18”

and she was also dropping trans peoples’ usernames for people to harass said users?
