Rules:
Positivity & wholesomeness. We're a positive LGBTQ+ space designed to be an escape from negativity online - This includes any screenshots/video of hate speech even when it's challenged. All posts must be positive, wholesome or just a bit awww and relevant to the LGBTQ+ community.
Be respectful. No bigotry, discrimination or other hate of any kind. No personal insults or attacks or starting an argument for the sake of arguing. We're a positive space so all comments should in the spirit of making the sub a welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community.
No ads, spam, crowdfunders or general self promotion. This includes the advertising of crowdfunders, we cannot verify them, so for safety, we do not allow them. Please also avoid reposting recent posts.
No NSFW content. We're a positive space for LGBTQ+ folks of all ages.
No survey/research requests. Please post these to r/SampleSize or r/lgbtstudies.
No posts asking to rate/roast or make assumptions. These posts encourage stereotyping or making assumptions about people based on presentation. Often these can make people uncomfortable and bring out a mix of stereotypes and pressure to present a specific way. This rule includes, but is not limited to; asking whether or not you pass, asking people to guess your gender/sexuality, and asking people to make assumptions about you based on your appearance.
No venting posts/comments. This is not a place to post if you need mental health assistance or to vent about bad situations. We have resources in our wiki for that. We understand mental health can be a tricky thing and we encourage you to seek help but there are other spaces better suited for this.
Credit artists. If the artwork/picture is not your own the original artist must be credited. This includes edits of existing work.
Use Modmail and Report to contact mods. Do not argue with users in comments or contact mods personally via DM or chat. Use the report feature for anything that breaks our rules or use modmail if you're not sure or have another issue.
Mod discretion. If as a mod team we feel a post/comment is not in the spirit of the sub we may remove it.

r/lgbtaww relaunching soon!
Hi all,
Things have been a little quiet here for awhile but we're looking to properly relaunch this sub soon.
The news has been grim for many, and many LGBTQ+ spaces online are rightly focusing on activism, advice and news. However this can make it even harder to find things that remind us of all the love and positivity in the community. For that reason it feels like now is the right time to relaunch and make this space a welcome break from the mayhem of the rest of the internet.
We'll still be focusing on the same content - positive things, showcasing creativity from our community. or things that just made you go aww (and are related to the community in some way!)
We're also looking to help LGBTQ+ creators who are migrating platform, either to Reddit, Bluesky etc. etc. For that reason we're banning any links/references to Twitter or Meta sites. We still require you to credit artists, but it must be to a platform other than Twitter or Meta.
Rule Changes
Rule 10 has been added, clarifying that AI Generated content and NFT content is not welcome. Please report content you have good reason to believe is AI generated.
Rule 8 has had a small addition to clarify that we no longer allow links/credit to Twitter or Meta platforms. if you cannot credit an artist under this rule please do not post their content here, instead encourage them to look at Bluesky or Reddit (do not spam them!)
Also please respect if the artist/creator has asked people not to repost their work. If you repost and we become aware the artist does not allow reposts your post will be removed and you may be banned.
Mod Applications
We'll be opening mod applications soon, if you're interested reply here or send in a modmail. We're looking for people who really want to help get this community growing and full of positive and cute things for the community.
We're also looking for people who want to help bring good quality content to the sub, please post cool things you've found (giving appropriate credit!) or encourage creators to share their work here!
Hope to see you all soon! Stay safe!

Gay-Straight Alliance Club
Hey everybody! I am a part of my high schools GSA club and we are starting the year off trying to brainstorm ideas for what to do. Our sponsor gives us a lot of freedom to decide what we want our GSA to accomplish. We do a lot of educational displays and we participate in the Day of Silence and we send out a newsletter to school staff on LGBTQ+ related topics to educate them so they can support our LGBTQ+ students. But we find ourselves stuck on new ideas of what to do. We really want to finish the year having done something impactful that we are proud of and that can maybe help our peers feel comfortable at our school. There are limitations with what we can do because of our school district. But if anyone out there has ideas or if you want to share what YOUR GSA does then all ideas are welcome!
*HOWEVER we try to avoid doing food related things because they are difficult to approve and you need a food handlers card for that
