LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the thread for the discussion, celebration and support of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Asexual, Allied, and Queer individuals, and anyone else who fits into the alphabet soup somewhere! Maybe since I'm making this thread, I'll remember to update the link in my signature*!
* Not likely...
Here's the in-thread rules!
- No adult sexual content. It's against site rules;
- Let's keep things as A-political as possible;
- Similarly, try to leave religion out of it;
- NO discussing if LGBTAetc. is "good" or "right" for the above reasons, mostly;
- Let's try and keep the in-thread flirting and horseplay to a reasonable level; while all us old hands are a big family, it can make it difficult for the people who are new and have important things to discuss to break in;
- Everyone is welcome. L, G, B,T, A, Q, A, N, V, P, R, Q, Ω, ♅, everyone. As long as they behave themselves.
If you have a question or two about LGBTA+, you can ask it here! You can ask for advice and support in here.
In addition, many members are willing to give private advice one on one, either through email or PM. The best ways to do this are initiating the PM, or asking for PM help in thread.
Previous threads, because archives are important.

Pretty sure they're symbols for certain gender identities?

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
I think the omega was to just poke gentle fun at the alphabet soup, like, we've got everything here! The other one was what Qaera (who isn't around anymore) used as a gender symbol, I think as a statement that neither the male nor the female symbol fitted them, but they also didn't have no gender. Like "other".

One notices there's nothing in the in-thread rules about remaining on-topic.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
That's because our topic is everything under the sun.
From breakups, to self-identity, to tying Lixie up.
I don't think we have an 'on-topic' topic do we?

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
I only thought of that afterwards, but I looked at the rules again recently and I'm pretty sure it's discussing the ban or glorifying the banned person is not allowed, and that just mentioning their existence is okay. Probably best if we just drop it.
Oh! I've been meaning to ask! Anyone planning any rainbowy Hallowe'en costumes?

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
I plan on not dressing up and if people ask about it I'll tell them I'm going as one of the X-Men.
Edit: people commented on my slender frame- I'm 6ft tall and weigh 60kg, so yeah, skinny.Last edited by Zorg; 2012-10-25 at 11:08 AM.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
I keep thinking I want to dress up, but then getting cold feet and/or freaking out about how detailed I want to get, and deciding it's not worth it, especially since I don't expect to be going to any parties or anything.

When I was young and foolish, I was 6 ft and 48 kgs. Now it's more than twice that.

Re: LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!
I had quite a growth spurt.
I had a neighbor who was 165-ish and weighed 33 kgs. But she was old and sick.
So, I thought of an idea for NaNoWiMo (is that it?) Making a coming-out story from Dickens's A Christmas Carol. The original story is essentially one of transformation so why not twist it?
I won't do it myself, but if anyone wants to discuss ideas, feel free.Avatar by CoffeeIncluded
