Thread!
If this is out of place, Iāll start a separate LGBTQ+ thread. I initially put it in the Good Stuff thread because the thread ends on a positive note despite the grim topic, but then I decided to move it as it might trigger trauma if readers stumble on it unexpectedly.
I searched the forum for an existing general LGBTQ+ thread, but couldnāt find one.

That might be a good idea. Trans people have a history of being silenced, discussions about LGBTQ+ where the T never seems to be mentioned, and so on. We should keep the trans threads as trans threads until that stops happening so often.

Iām flexible in that but I hear your point. Perhaps we need a āQueer Positiveā thread so we donāt accidentally silence ourselves straight off in the title?

That might be my fault. Iāve moved this discussion here to avoid confusion.

Got a LBGTQ+ positive personal story instead.
My uncleās homosexuality was always the worst kept secret in the family. Nobody cared, we love him. Everyone knew he was gay but he always chose to hide it to his parents, siblings and nephews.
In the early 90ās my grandfather passed away. It was at that point he finally officially came out to the family. When he told my grandmother, she smiled and asked him āare you seeing a nice fella?ā

It is. It really sucks that she got such a terrible backlash from her home community. Iām glad she persevered to share her marriage with us on that cover though. Lovely!
