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.

As an ally, I figure I'm in the +. Or not in the name at all. Ally means an ally, not included in the group. But still welcome.

Straight guy. Wife and I love Pride events. We've never felt unwelcome. Just be cool to everyone.

There are a few in the community who are not inclusive to allies or they suspect ulterior motives. They don't represent everyone and are best left alone.

The SLGBTQ community, also known as "humanity"

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

AKA "everyone"

You can just put us in the + at the end.

Back in the day it used to be

LGBTQIAA

For queer, intersex, asexual I believe, and ally.

Ally includes basically everything else and turned into the plus

True but, and hear me out, now it can be pronounced Slug-Butt-Que

I was reading it as slugbaitqueue myself. Now I'm picturing a rainbow slug mascot waiting in line and it's actually kinda hilarious

I'm all for referring to MAGA types as slugbait too

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I remember as a child playing slug bug on family trips. Playing slug-butt is gonna make those trips pretty awkward

[–] jumperalex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Well yeah, with THAT attitude!!!

Not gonna lie, adding the S at the start is pretty funny

[–] logi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Clearly any persistent ordering of the letters shows an implicit bias. The only reasonable thing is to randomize the letters on each use with (at minimum) a cryptographically secure PRNG.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Alternatively just shift the letter each time.
lgbtqa+
+lgbtqa
a+lgbtq
...

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, S would be the largest subgroup ;)

are there more bisexuals than gendered gay people I wonder

(said the bi)

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yes. So many closeted dudes are bi.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 2 days ago

So the S isn't for "super?" Well that's a waste.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

What about LGBTQC... for cis.
