Any other LGBT peeps (or LBGT allies) around?

I've only seen one other post but it was locked. There are threads for mommies, for men who want 6 packs, for university students, for people who watch the biggest loser, even Harry Potter Houses groups.

Could we make one for the LGBT people?

    Sounds like a good idea, but I never liked the acronym LGBT. What about the others who don't fall under those categories, but are just as misunderstood?

    I'm an ally!

    Sadly, I've seen other LGBT threads blow up and end up locked. Makes zero sense to me.

    In any case, you can count me in!

    this will get locked/deleted. they'll tell you the "groups" function is coming soon, where you'll be able to have your own group, but no one will say when. i think it should be allowed, and i'm sorry it's not. I hope you at least find a few friends before it gets the as though!

    Yup, they always do, unfortunately.
    But anyone looking for a fellow LGBT friend, feel free to add me.

    This is something to look forward to sometime in the near future. MFP has been working on groups apparently since earlier this year, and I imagine that eventually they will become a reality. Until then the reality is that the LGBT+ crowd here on MFP will be ushered silently into the shadows so as not to offend those who find us offensive. However, to be fair, MFP also ushers silently into the shadows several other groups: atheists, pastafarians, rationalists, and even christians (though it seemingly takes much longer to usher the christians...not sure why).

    So, this thread will end up locked and probably deleted. Groups cannot get here fast enough.

    You're still welcome. I'm a fan of the term "queer" but I think "LGBT" is a more common term.

    It's in the forum rules. Honestly, the rule is in place to protect the LGBT community on MFP, to prevent the homophobes from spewing hate and causing problems.

    I should also chime in, Proud to be the B in LGBT!
