Alice and Daisy's Queer/LGBTQA+ Support/Hangout Thread
 
~WELCOME~

I'm Alice. DaisyKeehl: will be along later. Welcome to our Queer/LGBTQA+ Support/Hangout thread! :D

To the best of my knowledge, there is no thread like this currently on Menewsha, which is surprising, because many Menewshans are part of the LGBT community! :o So we decided to make a thread for people to just...express themselves. Openly and honestly.

So what IS this thread exactly?

I suppose the best way to describe it is a "Gay-Straight Alliance" thread. Not that Menewsha is in any way judging or unsafe, this is a designated safe space for any Menewshans who are members of the Queer/LGBTQA+ community, and for any who are not but want to actively show their support. :yes: There are far too many members of the LGBT community who are forced to stay in the closet, even today. This happens all around the world, and it simply is not right. This thread can not solve this, but it can provide a safe space for anyone who feels oppressed for their sexual orientation to get things off their chest and be supported.

So are there rules, Alice?

You bet your butt there are rules!

Rule Number 1: All posters will adhere to the Menewsha Rules and Guidelines as well as the Menewsha Nations Rules and Guidelines.
This should go without saying, but everyone follow site and board rules, please! :)

Rule Number 2: Absolutely no form of prejudice will be tolerated.
This one should also be able to go without saying, but I wanted to make it clear that I don't just mean homophobia here. Racism, sexism, ageism, slut-shaming, or any other form of prejudice is strictly forbidden.

Rule Number 3: Be patient.
Some people may be shy and beat around the bush here, and that's okay. If it's someone coming out of the closet, you must be sensitive. For some people, admitting to themselves and others that they are not "straight" is one of the hardest things they will ever have to do.

Rule Number 4: Be kind and have fun!

Daisy and I reserve the right to retroactively add any rules I've forgotten or that we see the need to create later.

So that's it for the rules. Again, I'm Alice, and I'm pansexual and transgender. Welcome, one and all.

Oh! This is nice. Even though I'm straight I find this a good place for your type (please don't take offense) to chat and discuss your thoughts. Is DaisyKeehl also a pansexual, or something other than straight? Or did she just wish to help with you?

Anyways, I hope this works out! I'll stop by a couple times a day I'm guessing to say "hai" :3

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 01:26 PM

Welcome, Flyer!

While I know the answer to your question about Daisy, that's her business to tell, not mine. I'm sure she will answer you when she arrives later. :yes:

And yes, feel free to stop in anytime.~

Mister Dignity 04-19-2012 01:29 PM

Ok, I won't ask her, but if she sees my post and feels like answering, I'll let her. I won't push her privacy boundaries too far :)

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 01:32 PM

o.O You can ask her. I didn't say that. I simply said that it's not my business to answer for her. XD She has actively posted her sexual orientation elsewhere on Menewsha. She'll tell you. :yes: Don't be shy! Daisy is one of my best friends that I've met on here.

Daisy and Whimsical Sadist:, that is.

Mister Dignity 04-19-2012 01:42 PM

No, I'm not going to ask, because in a way it's rude in my mind. I wouldn't walk down a street asking every guy I see wearing earrings if he's gay. No. I found out you're pansexual because you stated you have a girlfriend, and so the conversation brewed. I won't just ask someone if they're lesbian or something when I just joined >.>

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 01:43 PM

Well weh. XD I'm sure she'll tell you anyway.

Mister Dignity 04-19-2012 01:44 PM

Yeah, I'm fine with her telling me, but I'd be uncomfortable going up and asking her about it.

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 01:45 PM

I understand that. XD

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 04-19-2012 01:56 PM

-gives cookies to new thread- :ninja:

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 01:59 PM

Why hello, sir! We thankfully accept all cookies here! ^_^

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 04-19-2012 02:01 PM

That's good! I haven't come across any threads that don't like cookies. I wouldn't know what to do then.. Maybe give them broccoli instead. :ninja:

Mister Dignity 04-19-2012 02:02 PM

Hey Ikuto? May I get a cookie? I haven't eaten breakfast yet... but I like cookies! :D

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 02:06 PM

XD Maybe they NEED broccoli sir. :yes:

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 04-19-2012 02:08 PM

-hands Flyer a cookie- :D

@Moogle: xDDD That's too nutritional for me to be handing out freely!

AlessaStar 04-19-2012 02:08 PM

Hi Alice! :D
And everyone else!
Nice thread. :3

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 02:09 PM

@Ikuto: So what's your endgame? To make us all plump with succulent sweets?!

Hello, Alessa! :D Welcome to teh thread!

AlessaStar 04-19-2012 02:11 PM

Alice:
Thanks! :D

And and...how is everyone today?

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 02:11 PM

Pretty well! I am excited to have finally actually MADE this thread. ^_^

How are you?

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 04-19-2012 02:13 PM

@Moogle: Yes. :ninja: -gives out more cookies-

AlessaStar 04-19-2012 02:15 PM

Good good, sleepy. u.u
Lol, I had to take a friend to work this morning. o-o

HeartMoogle 04-19-2012 02:16 PM

@Ikuto: YOU'RE NOT GONNA EAT US, ARE YOU? :o

@Alessa: That sucks. I'm pretty sleepy too. I had to pull an all-nighter because of my own stupidity.

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 04-19-2012 02:18 PM

Of course not! D: I'm not down with that cannibalism shizzzz. :talk2hand:

Mister Dignity 04-19-2012 02:18 PM

*puts cookie in cloning device and press infinite volumes*

That's how I roll.

Flink 04-19-2012 02:18 PM

This thread makes me want to go back to being male online... no idea why. Only reason I did it befofe was because males are hardly ever asked for cyber.

Nice to see a thread for this, though. Maybe it can offer support to people who are afraid to come out offline.

So, Alice... what does being pansexual mean to you? I've noticed the definition varies from person to person. :)

Ikuto: Has mene banned staff from cannibalism? D:
