I'd like to start the day by asking you all some questions. Don't worry it's nothing too intense. :P

1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it?

2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made?

3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/389964-lgbt-rules-read-first

4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/22-lgbt?show_invite=true

5. Have you introduced yourself to the group yet or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/387700-introductions

6. Do you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns?

    I think this is a great place

    Nothing yet, I think everyone is behaving so far and no changed needed.

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/389964-lgbt-rules-read-first

    1- I have to admit I haven't posted much in the group, but I'm a fan of having a place people can feel welcome and not afraid to be themselves.
    2- Can't think of anything at the moment.
    3- I have. I do. No ma'am :)
    4- I don't know that there's anyone else on my friends list that would like to join, but it won't hurt to try.
    5- I haven't yet, but plan to. . . at some point.
    6- Nope <3

    1. I've been waiting this group. :/ Silly MFP.
    2. I think it's too early to be critical.
    3. Yep, yep, and no.
    4. I don't think I'll have many friends on MFP who will want to join.
    5. Yes!
    6. Not at the moment. Will think of some, though.

    1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it?
    I like that this group exists. I enjoy not having to hide who I am and that I have others like me trying to lose weight.

    2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made?
    I have not found anything I dislike about the group. What I dislike about the discussion boards is when people are hateful to one another.

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/389964-lgbt-rules-read-first
    Yes. I read the rules.

    4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/22-lgbt?show_invite=true
    The only ones I know are already here. :drinker:

    5. Have you introduced yourself to the group yet or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/387700-introductions
    Yes. I introduced myself.

    6. Do you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns?
    No.

    Great group! Makes me happy to know you are all here. :love:

    1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it?

    Yes. I no longer feel alone...

    2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made?

    Let it grow and guide it gently...

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/389964-lgbt-rules-read-first

    I read them, they make sense to me...

    4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/22-lgbt?show_invite=true

    My only other B friend told me about the the group... not enough "out" people in MFP for my tastes, maybe this group will help :)

    5. Have you introduced yourself to the group yet or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/387700-introductions

    Mmhmm :)

    6. Do you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns?

    1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it?
    The group seems great so far. A good place for people to hang-out and be themselves.

    2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made?
    No changes so far everything seems to be working just fine.

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended?

    4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/22-lgbt?show_invite=true

    1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it? I love that it's more interesting, accepting and introspective than any of the other groups I've checked out.

    2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made? Hmm..maybe too many stickies on the first discussion page? Maybe it's just that my settings are wonky, but I have to scroll through to see if any new posts have been made.

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended? Yep, read. Sounds fine to me.

    4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to? all my LGBT+ friends are skinny :(

    5. Have you introduced yourself to the group yet or do you plan to? yup yup

    6. Do you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns? not yet, but i'm sure I'll make a pest of myself at some later point.

    You might be looking at the overall group page. If you click the Discussion button at the right side, all of the topics should be on one page (for now since we're such a young group). =D

    I like it, it feels like a safe and welcoming place.

    1. Enjoy may be a strong word. We'll see. Currently it's sufficient.
    2. Too soon to say.
    3. Haven't read them. I presume they're similar to other similarly themed forums.
    4. No and no. It's not something I do generally unless asked by those people directly.
    5. No. I'm curmudgeon. We're like that.
    6. While I wouldn't call myself a misogynist generally, the amazingly disproportionate amount of women compared to queer men...I won't say "disturbs me" but it's definitely noticeable. So more guys, please. I'm taken so they don't even have to be single.

    Taking MFP into consideration, there is also a noticeable difference between the amount of men and women here. I can only assume that the same would represent itself in this group. -shrugs-

    I agree, but the question 6 involved comments and suggestions. I interpreted that as a wish list, and there we have it.

    I think the group is great but I wish it would show up in my newsfeed somehow. The only rule I don't understand was something to do with using appropriate gender wording.

    Take care!

    Love the group.

    To be honest, while I'm not in the closet, I'm pretty new to things. I love reading all of the posts and am enjoying learning about everyone and every thing.

    I agree with Debbie,I wish it showed up in my news feed. But that's no fault of the group :)

    A little late here, but it's been a rough week/end so far.

    1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it? - Haven't had a lot of chance to look around much. But I love the idea of it.

    2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made? - N/A

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/389964-lgbt-rules-read-first - Yup. I think it's good for now and may evolve as the group does.

    4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/22-lgbt?show_invite=true - Honestly, for the most part, I don't know my MFPals sexuality. The few I do are already here. :smile:

    5. Have you introduced yourself to the group yet or do you plan to? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/387700-introductions - I don't think I have... I'll go look. (edit to add - just did. :smile:)

    6. Do you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns? - Not at the moment.

    1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it? I only joined last night so too early to say yet.

    2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made? See answer to question 1 :laugh:

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended? Yes. Yes. No.

    4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to? No. Because I don't know who of my friends are LBGT+ (I don't bother asking people about their sexuality. So if they don't say anything then I do never know). :embarassed:

    5. Have you introduced yourself to the group yet or do you plan to? Yes.

    6. Do you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns? Not yet

    1. How are you enjoying the group so far, and what do you like about it?
    I like how it gives people a chance to freely talk about LGBT stuff without having to worry about it being deleted in a thread.

    2. What do you dislike about the group and/or what changes would you suggest be made?
    nothing except for the fact that not a lot of people post in the group and there are almost 300 members..

    3. Have you read the group rules? Do you understand them? Is there anything you'd like to see added or amended?
    I've read and understand them. Have no problems with them.

    4. Have you invited your LGBT+ friends or do you plan to?
    I'm not sure which of my friends are LGBT and I don't really make it a habit to ask people what their sexuality is,and the ones that are, are already part of the group

    5. Have you introduced yourself to the group yet or do you plan to?
    Already have

    6. Do you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns?
    not really except that i wish people would post and comment more..
