An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.

Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.

Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

=========

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

The only time I ever had them come to my house was when I was in my mod 20s, a year or so after I finally admitted to myself I didn't believe in God anymore. I don't really remember what they asked. Something about some time to talk about God. I sort of teared up and said no I didn't want to. It was sad. Because I knew they were in the same shit I was in, though I wasn't a Mormon, just bible belt Christian. I just really didn't wanna talk to them. The worst part is that I think in that moment they probably thought they broke through to me or something. Or got me thinking about it. Which only made it more difficult.

You ask them thought provoking questions about Mormonism to get them to think critically about the foundations of their beliefs. Show them what it's like to be treated like a human being and not a propaganda machine.

Tell them the truth of the so called Book of Abraham. It's a part of the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead that Joseph Smith "translated" an erroneous copy of which is in the standard works that each member carries and studies on a regular basis.
