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.

It also covers fiancees and pre-engagement relationships.
Or any relationship with an SO for that matter. I feel like the term, "Pre-engagement relationship" suggests that the procession into marriage is somehow requisite to the development of a relationship.
And start-ups and law firms.
And lots of work relationships where you're paired with someone. I used to love freaking out my conservative acquaintances when I'd start talking about my partner, and would always be very careful to only mention aspects that made them think the partner was the same gender as me. Eventually they catch on, but for a while they get oh so worried (tm) that I'm homosexual and am talking about a relationship rather than work.
Also, to me it feels like it's more like 'equal partners in a relationship'. 'My wife' or 'my girlfriend' often sounds a little possessive.
