I like GOG because I wanted to have the games forever unlike with Steam where they COULD take it away. Sigh.

Interesting. I would have thought that the primary audience of Grindr wouldn’t be interested in women, but it appears that it is indeed used by folks that aren’t men. TIL.

No need to be teste, I got you.

he looks like balls lmao

Teabag

…do clown girls use Grindr? I might be out of the loop.

Yeah, it’s cause we are so hot. 🔥

Certain events are inclusive of anyone accepting of queer people, including allies. Look for something that says “all are welcome!” It’s nice to have people there that perhaps aren’t “one of us” but still treat us like anyone else.

Others are not, simply because it’s for specific groups. If you’re a cis man, I would be very cautious of you if you came to a lesbian or a non-binary gathering. Attending because you’re a father or brother of a lesbian and want to understand more about your loved one would likely be ok.

Best thing to do for any of these events is to remember that you are not the focus and these are centered on queer experiences. It’s nothing against you! But it’s good to always remember it’s about making sure a queer space stays safe and welcoming for queer people.

If you hear one of us venting about cis het people (and it is usually specific ones or ones that do x), please don’t take it personally! We know it’s not all cis het people, just specific ones that have made our lives harder just because we are not cis het.

This should go without saying, but don’t fetishize anyone. Being attracted to trans folk or bisexual/pan/etc. folk is completely ok! Treating them like a sex object is not. (This is probably not you, but in case anyone reading this needs to see it spelled out… Here it is.)

We welcome people that want to support us! But bragging about how much of an ally you are is off-putting. I’m not saying you do this, but it does happen occasionally and… Just don’t, it comes of as very insincere and “straight savior.”

I can’t speak for all of us, but I consider “queer” a reclaimed term that should not be used by those not queer but I don’t have a better commonly used alternative. I like GRSM (gender, romantic, sexuality minorities) but again, this is not common. LGBT+ or LGBTQ is fine imo. I am just one person of a large community so you may get different answers.

I don’t think a pride flag (or inclusive pride flag) is bad for a cis het person to use. Don’t use a specific one, like a men loving men or lesbian flag unless there is clear indication that you are in support, like “I love my [identity] [relation].” Note that if you have a flag without context, you might get hit on by the same gender. As long as you remain polite, all is well!

There is an ally flag that is a safe bet!

Apologies if some of this is obvious to you. Thanks for asking. Just trying to be thorough and try to include things that anyone that might encounter this message find useful.
