Rules:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. No NSFW content. We're a positive space for LGBTQ+ folks of all ages.

5. No survey/research requests. Please post these to r/SampleSize or r/lgbtstudies.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Credit artists. If the artwork/picture is not your own the original artist must be credited. This includes edits of existing work.

9. 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.

10. Mod discretion. If as a mod team we feel a post/comment is not in the spirit of the sub we may remove it.
