Hello and Welcome to the LiveJournal Queer Community!
This community is a safe forum for queer and queer-friendly individuals to discuss queer issues.
We welcome individuals of every sex, gender,
sexual orientation, sexuality, transgender
status, age, race, nationality, color, ancestry,
religion (or lack thereof), disability, medical
condition, and marital status.
COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
In the interest of making this community as interesting, informative, and accessible as possible, all members must adhere to a few simple posting guidelines.
TITLE YOUR POSTS
Make your title concise and informative. This makes it easy to find and reference posts of interest.
Good Examples:
Pediatric group endorses gay adoptions
Have you ever experienced discrimination?
Need advice on coming out to my best friend
An introduction, and my thoughts on gay adoption
NOT:
Check this out! IMPORTANT!!!
What do you think of this?
I need help!
I'm new here. How's it going?
STAY ON TOPIC
This is a community, not a chat forum or a personal journal.
Appropriate posts include:
¤ articles
¤ discussion topics
¤ questions
¤ rants
¤ writings
¤ art
¤ announcements
¤ events
¤ links
¤ introductions that ALSO INCLUDE one of the above
DO NOT POST any of the following:
¤ vanity posts e.g. "Come check out my journal!", "Here are some new pics of me...", etc.
¤ personal journal entries that include off-topic information (e.g. "Here's what I did today..."), or that do not include queer-related material that is conducive to discussion (e.g. "I miss my boy/girlfriend so much." or "I saw this really hot boy/girl today.")
¤ online petitions or anything else that you got forwarded via e-mail that says "SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!"
¤ quiz/test results
¤ posts done out of boredom
USE THE <lj-cut> TAG
Any post which is longer than a normal paragraph or two, or which contains multiple or large images must include an <lj-cut> tag out of courtesy for the other community members.
Long posts can clutter up "friends" pages. Multiple or large images can cause problems for those who have slow internet connections. If you do not know how to use the <lj-cut> feature, instructions are available in LJ FAQ #75.
BE RESPECTFUL
While we wish to encourage free discussion, we also want to keep this a safe place. Certain types of speech are specifically prohibited in this community: advertisements, personal ads, pornography, sexual harassment, sexism, racism, ageism, ableism, gay bashing, slander, name-calling, personal insults, threats, advocation of violence in any form, advocation of illegal activities (with the exception of civil disobedience).
EDITING OR REMOVING A COMMUNITY POST
If you wish to edit or remove a community post yourself, instructions are available in LJ FAQ #119.
Any post that violates the guidelines may be removed. Anyone who can't play nicely will lose posting privileges.
