A free area for the discussion of issues facing those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and all other sexual or nonsexual orientations and/or gender identities. Post links to articles, self-posts, photographs, experiences and whatever else is important to your experience of queer life. We encourage you to treat others with respect, start and/or engage in robust discussion and interact with the community. The more we know each other, the better we'll get along.

Don't know the flags? We have these available:

Rainbow flag
Transgender flag
Bisexual flag
Asexual flag
Genderqueer/androgynous flag
Pansexual flag
Ally flag

In the box below the flag grid, you can set custom text for your flair! You can put whatever you like; explain what the flag means to you, tell us where you're from, what you like, whatever! Note: if someone hasn't specified custom text, you won't see anything by their flag.

We also have spliced versions of the trans and genderqueer flags (thanks, WTFcannuck!), for those with dual citizenship. Choose whatever flag feels right; this isn't an ID card, it's just a fun way to show your colors.

Want these flags on your subreddit? They're open source! Check out the /r/ainbow flair on github.

A note on moderation

Comments and/or posts that threaten violence (including threats of self-harm, which will be reported to the admins immediately), incite violence, expose personal information about others without their consent, or contain illegal content will be removed. Please use the "report" button on only these types of posts. Contact the moderators if a post/comment has been removed in error.

As of July 2015 we are piloting a new guideline; until we have more precise language, please don't be an asshole. Free expression can only happen when everyone in the community feels empowered to contribute, and behaviors that disempower and silence do more to create an echo chamber than even the heavy-handedest of moderator actions. If you are acting like an asshole to a member of this community, the moderators reserve the right to extend a seven-day temporary ban as a cooling off measure.

TL;DR: Report posts that are low effort trolls, homophobic/transphobic, extremely NSFW posts, brigades, discord/chat links, advertisements, spam, and surveys without a moderator comment on them.
