Hi. I co-Admin the Discord server for Steemit's LGBT+ community, which you're welcome to join by clicking on the banner at the bottom of this comment. There's a brief (straightforward/obvious) screening process in the #welcome channel, because there are most definitely trolls and haters on this platform and we are not fools. :)

Welcome to Steemit! If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to read the Welcome and FAQ pages, which answer most common questions, as well as @sykochica's Answering Common Questions Google Doc. Yes, it's a lot to absorb, and a steep learning curve we all had to climb once.
