LGBTQ Awareness/Help Threade

Hi!

This is a threade for discussing lesbian, gay, transgender, and queer subject matter. The intended purpose is to provide a safe space where people can talk about news, issues, or other topics related to LGBTQ in a civil mannere, away from things like comments sections. Friendly talk.

With that in mind, here are a few things that this threade is for:

• sharing or discovering aspects about yourself or others which are related to the subjects of this threade
  
• attempting to find information about the subjects of this threade which may help you or others get assistance with their lives or greater understanding of the times we live in
  
• building your self confidence by participating or just reading about these things so that you can help yourself and/or others deal with the issues covered in this threade
  
• keeping up with, or helping others keep up with news about human rights issues pertaining to these subjects
  

This threade is not for:

• stepping past the line of respect for people who live or have lived in different circumstances from you
  
• complaining about why this threade only covers these particular subjects
  
• starting arguments for the sake of arguing (please remind me if I slip into doing this)
  
• accusing this threade or people in this threade of various things just to capture some artificial moral high ground
  
• other things which would involve being a jerk, although the board is already against this anyway, so why are you even considering it

Below is a list of things which may be useful to you.
