Hello!

It's that time of the year again when we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. As a community team we spotlight communities that we think need some more attention, and what better way to celebrate pride month by shouting out: !lgbt@lemmy.world

Description: 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

Note: Sorry for not posting for a while, the admin that organized this has left the team a while ago, and we haven't got around to doing this again. Thank you everyone for reminding us! We will get this ball rolling again, but with only one community per week. Please share any suggestions you might have with us!
