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.

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.

If you're in the NYC area, come bid on us April 2 at Animal in Brooklyn.

If not, maybe this is your sign to try out with your local gay rugby team :).

Don't know, maybe you win the honour of being the third wheel on a date with those two rugged rugby daddies?

[โ€“] lurch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

I wonder how they handle the wheel ( อกยฐ อœส– อกยฐ)

We have a date package set up, all expenses paid drag brunch with bottomless drinks hahaha.

Wait, since when is rugby played in the US?

Our team is part of the International Gay Rugby league (IGR), but there are other amateur and professional leagues. In New York alone there are like 10 different clubs - the professional team is the Ironworkers. A lot of folks who play here are European immigrants.

There's a bunch of local rugby leagues, it's just not a highly televised national sport.

I'm pretty sure we've perfected it here. We call it "hand egg ball" and we dress men in tight spandex pants and grab their butts when not holding the egg.

This ticks a lot of boxes for me.
