Hi, for research reasons, I wanted to generally see how many LGBTQ+ people there are in the Bungie.net community! :D Or how many there are not! Thank you. Also share below your label if you want, [b]optional[/b] of course.
[b]For those who don't know:[/b]
"LGBPTTQQIIAA+" Is the full label Acronym, "+" because of incomplete or controversial labels.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer*, Questioning, Intersex, Intergender, Asexual, Ally
*historically, this was a derogatory slang term used to identify LGBTQ+ people; a term that has been embraced and reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community as a symbol of pride, representing all individuals who fall out of the gender and sexuality “norms”
Pansexual:
Pansexual means gender does not factor into your own sexuality, or that you are specifically attracted to trans, genderqueer, and other people who may or may not fit into the mainstream gender categories of male and female. Credit to Ninja Froggy.
Ally:
A straight ally or heterosexual ally is a heterosexual and/or cisgender person who supports equal civil rights, gender equality, LGBT social movements, and challenges homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Despite this, some people who meet this definition do not identify themselves as straight allies.
A different perspective on all this is:
[quote]Technically i'm bisexual, but I don't really have anything to do with a...community.
I don't have any disdain towards any particular sexual preference, nor do I have any "pride" in my own. I will feel pride for my actions and/or accomplishments, if at all, but not for personal traits outside of my control. They exist due to circumstance, I have not expended any effort to gain them or displayed any skill to earn them, therefore there's nothing in them to be proud of.I carry the same stance for my race, ethnicity, and nationality. These are traits given to me purely by chance, and likewise, nothing for me to feel any sort of "personal" pride over.[/quote]
Edit 1: This community never fails to disappoint me.
Edit 2: The penis poll was unintentional omg xD Please forgive me xD
