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

    I don't get anything past the T. Its been shown that if you have certain genes, you have a 99% chance of being homosexual. Completely unavoidable, so therefore, we should all be in support. I assume its something similar for bisexuality, but I haven't looked into it. It doesn't make sense to discriminate against someone for being born differently. The only problem I have with T is how many parents are letting kids under the age of 13 get hormones and whatnot. I've seen videos of people with "transgender" 5 year olds. I think children should really learn what it means for them, and then have them give verbal and written consent. If you're an adult I have no problem with what you do, if you aren't comfortable in your own body. But what on earth are all the other letters? LGBTQIIAMSSVXXZZIJEHFJDNDNXNFNFNSKSLLDLKDKDJFNNF+? is pansexuality not just bisexual? What is queer? Does intersex mean you just aren't a gender? Does "questioning" actually need a letter? WHAT IS AN ALLY? People get really inventive with this. I could say I'm omnihexadecasexual and get supporters.
