Real LGBTQ
A supportive, loving community run by and for LGBTQ+ people and their allies.
Feel free to discuss anything related to LGBTQ+ issues, and remember that despite everything, we all very literally are in this together.
Rules:
- Kindness Always
No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member.
- No Bigotry
This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. "It's just a joke" is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior is not acceptable either.
- No Spam, NSFW, Or Other Disruptive Content or Behavior
Please respect our community and don't use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.
- Please Tag All Discussions About The Sub with [Meta]
Any meta threads or discussions, suggestions, etc. needs to be tagged with [Meta] in the title, that way it'll be easier for mods to find. If you have any issues with another member or what-have-you, please message a mod.
- Hateful People or Members of Hate Groups Not Allowed
No Nazis, fascists, anti-LGBTQ+ folks, or any member of any groups predisposed to discriminate against or cause trouble for LGBTQ+ people or the community. This includes members of the U.S. right wing. We care about the safety and well-being of our community and that means we won't allow anyone who will threaten or endanger LGBTQ+ people in the sub, and sadly, the U.S. political situation has become volatile enough where a ban of this caliber has become necessary.
- Please Tag Titles Of Sensitive Posts With [TW] or [CW]
Please put one of those tags on any post talking about rape, suicide, or self-harm.
- English Only Please
Posts and comments must be in English only so they can be properly moderated.
Note: failure to abide by the rules may result in a ban depending on severity.
Rules subject to change based on community need.

I'm ace, but I stopped giving myself labels on my sexuality a while back. They just get confusing sometimes, because people never fit into our boxes. We can't even fit ourselves in our own boxes.
Something that might fit as a label is "sapphic" or "saphe". I've heard feminine presenting NB use it to describe themselves before. Of course I don't know how you present or anything like that, so no disrespect if you present androgynous or masc
I've went from thinking I was bi, to pan, to ace then demi to now having no clue and using no label.
Exactly! When I start contemplating labels, I usually end up on the conclusion that I'm me, whatever someone else might call it. Sexuality can change over time, and doesn't fit neatly at any point. In college I thought I was straight, until I got a crush on a guy. I still don't know what exactly to call that. I just know that I'm me, and I'll probably never make complete sense of my feelings
