Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven
We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

I like to use partner even though I'm in a hetero relationship just cuz it sounds better.
Also just to normalize it.
Calling my fiance my partner makes me feel like we are a pair of ranch hands in the wild west, instead of two introverted weebs :3
Same. I say my partner, because also girlfriend sounds too casual for what we have, but we aren’t married. It’s just very useful and gender neutral term.
My partner and I just had this conversation recently. We don't want to get married because we don't see a point in bringing bureaucracy into our relationship. But we've been through too much to just be "dating" still. So, they're my partner
I like to use 'datemate' cause the term seems really cute to me
