RE: Is Steemit ready for the LGBTQAI community?
Oh wow its gonna be so hard for her to choose!! I do not envy her! acceptance vs rejection has been a big theme for me too! I only was able to come out as bisexual like... 3 years ago??? People have been demanding that I'm gay for most of my life. It kind made me angry about it. Partially because they thought it was funny and weren't kind about it and also partially because they were highlighting my womanhood and my interest in shy men who are in touch with their feminine sides. I now know this is more due to the rest of my family not doing their OWN homework about sex and identity. They don't understand that humans are not ON or OFF . that gender is a spectrum, that sexuality is a spectrum.. and that society is usually way behind the ground movement.
But anyway, welcome! :) I think @sykochica has her work cut out for her.
Thanks so much! How has being delegated Steem Power influenced the way that you use Steemit?
Also, yes it's tough when people see things in black and white instead of the whole spectrum of color that is available in life. Keep being true to yourself and radiating your light among those around you!
Thats an interesting question. The first time i was upvoting like crazy. The second time, now, i am following chicas requests to support lgbt and transgender tags. Its opened me up to a huge amount of amazing ppl (and now you) that i might not have met because i stupidly wasnt following these tags.
awesome... that's a really great takeaway from it then!
