Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Our Partnered Discord Server: GayWave

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

About a month ago, a server admin reached out to me asking if I'd like to partner with their Discord community. They were branching out from reddit (like a lot of us here did) so I took a look to see if it was something I could recommend and, uh, yeah. It is.

GayWave

It's a safe-for-work social server for gay and queer men, ages 18+, operating since 2017. This is a relatively mature space for guys to connect and share in a wonderful gay community. We've got

  • Regular voice & video chat
  • Community gaming events
  • Limited-time social games
  • Topical, serious, and boilerplate channels to discuss anything and everything

Also very much an inclusive community. Trans and non-binary folks are welcome and racism, transphobia, and bigotry in any form, as well as drama-mongering, are bannable offenses.

Interested? Come check it out! Invite Link!

In my past month I've met people who are interested in the weirdly specific shit I'm interested in as well as met people who have told me about things I've never heard of. There are members from America and Canada, of course, but also just the world over. The mods and admins are solid. They don't overuse powers but they're also quick on the ball and will gently remind people.

I am not super active on Discord in general but I've been more active there than anywhere else. Excluding my DnD groups. Due to all of my experiences, I have nothing but love to give to the server, its users and the admin/mod team for setting such an incredible tone.

Story time:

I was in the subway in Toronto. Was pretty busy so we're all squeezed in. I had a satchel/messenger bag on that was on my right hip and in front of me was a woman and her boyfriend or husband or whatever. I'm minding my own business, looking around the cabin in my ADHD way at some stop when I suddenly hear "UH FUCKING EXCUSE ME?" I look back over and people had filtered out. The doors were closing and there was a lot more space in the compartment. So I backed up a bit and said "Sorry." This woman then goes "NO, YOU FUCKING PERVERT. You do NOT get to get away with just saying I'm sorry."

I'm now fully confused. I'm barely conscious to begin with so I have no fucking clue what is happening. I say as much, like "What are you talking about?" The dude with her is behind her shoulder looking equally as confused too. Back from me to her with puzzled expression. Not angry or worked up just... confused. She says "YOU GRABBED MY ASS YOU PERVERT!" I go from confused to joking dismissal and say "Girl, the fuck I did." She gets more incensed, the boyfriend gets more confused and she launches into a tirade. About how when everyone passed by I tried to grab her ass but I did it too late and she KNOWS it was me. I just start laughing. Her boyfriend now starts to get a little mad because he has no idea what is going on and I'm just laughing in her face. She starts screaming louder like "YOU'RE JUST FUCKING LAUGHING AT ME? WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! I'M GOING TO THE POLICE! THERE ARE CAMERAS ON THIS TRAIN!"

Laughing dies into a smile waiting for her to stop. She does. I pull out my phone and start saying "Honey, no. I did not grab your ass. I have no interest in it. Pretty sure my bag just bumped into your ass when I turned around (I had felt the bag bump into someone moments when I was just looking around the compartment before she started screaming at me but I didn't put two and two together until then). I was not trying to grab your ass or anyone elses. But if I did? I'd be going after his first." I nodded over her shoulder to her boyfriend and then brought up my now unlocked phone screen. I am a degenerate and my phone wallpaper is just dicks. Always dicks or gay sex of some variety. Never knew it'd come in handy.

The boyfriend started cackling, chick turned red which was visible under the 18 layers of foundation she was using to hide an acne problem and they stormed off on the next stop.

Police dubbed the investigation “Operation Fake Monster."

Per a statement issued Sunday by the Rio de Janeiro Civilian Police, two people were arrested on May 3 who police say were members of an online group “spreading hate speech and preparing a plan, mainly against children, adolescents and the LGBTQIA+ community.” The group — which was not named in the police statement — allegedly attempted to recruit others, especially teenagers, to carry out attacks at the concert using improvised explosives, Rio Police chief Luiz Lima told the Associated Press, with the goal of “gaining notoriety in order to attract more viewers, more participants.” No explosives were reportedly found during the investigation.
