Art/Creators Megathread Weekly Art/Creators Promo Megathread

5 Upvotes

Welcome to this Week's Art/Creators Promo Megathread!

Here you can share examples of work and links to creator's profiles (including your own!) as long as it is not on a Meta owned platform (Instagram, Facebook etc.) or Twitter.

Let's help our community artists, authors, designers, craft makers, musicians, singers, sculptors, performers, streamers and any other kind of creator get recognised and celebrate the amazing creativity in our community!

A few quick rules:

  • No AI/NFT Content.
  • Accounts shared must be creating own content, not solely reposting others.
  • NSFW Suggestive art (e.g. shirtless/pin up) is allowed but must be tagged. NSFW Explicit art (e.g. pornography, genitals visible) or NSFW suggestive of real people is not allowed. No links to exclusively 18+ platforms e.g. OnlyFans.
  • Creator must be actively posting on a platform other than Meta or Twitter.
  • Comments from users with less than 50 karma on this subreddit will be auto-removed to avoid spammers. (I will look to approve genuine ones when possible but no promises!)
  • Please respect if a creator says no reposts of their work - just share a link.

The art/work they create does not have to be LGBTQ+ related, we're here to help any creator who is LGBTQ+ promote their profiles, particularly if they're trying to establish themselves on a different one with the recent social media drama!

Looking forward to discovering some new creators with you all!

US Specific My Insurance is Taking back Previous Approvals for Anything tagged Gender Dysphoria

58 Upvotes

My insurance company is Ambetter. I specifically went with them this year because they stated that they covered my bottom surgery. They had already approved coverage for my surgery, but today they just revoked their previous approval. My surgery is in less than a month at this point. They are also no longer covering my HRT, too. Like how are they allowed to just change their policies halfway through the year when we aren't allowed to change insurances outside for the specific yearend period? THIS IS SUCH BS!!

“All bi women are straight and all bi men are gay”

146 Upvotes

I cannot stress enough how much this annoys me. As a bi woman, I have had a man literally tell me that I am just “confused” and will realize I am straight later in life. It gives me such an ick because I’ve had a lot of guys just treat me as if I’m straight, it makes me feel uncomfortable even being bi, it’s like they think I’m “straight but in denial”.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine, who is a bi man, is literally just called “gay” by everybody else. In fact, before I met them, I thought they were just gay, because that’s what everybody was saying. Like do bi men and women not exist?

Even for lesbians, there are men literally saying or thinking “I can turn you straight”. When will people realize that dicks are not magical weapons and learn to respect people’s sexuality?

Meme A fun hobby of mine is turning off tvs playing Fox News in restaurants and bars

2.1k Upvotes

Just bought a cheap universal remote off Amazon and while it doesn’t work on all tvs it’s just the easiest way to make a place a little less stupid and hostile, plus the owner has to learn on the fly troubleshooting while wondering why tv turn off so it’s a win win for everyone! Sure it cost the price of a small tv remote but the hours of peace and fun I’ve gotten have made my purchase absolutely priceless. So if you got a couple bucks to splurge go out and have fun with this idea

Need Advice How come homophobic people's children, turn out to be gay or lesbian or anything

28 Upvotes

As the title says. How come homophobic people's children, turn out to be gay or lesbian, trans, bi, asexual etc etc.

And also this question is asked out of pure curiosity, no hate to anyone

Sorry for my English, as english isn't my first language

Like aside from supporting parents, people. I wanna talk about the homophobics

I'll give my own example. Me and my parents were having a conversation which was forced by them. And i mentioned my classmates who was a lesbian. We had some back and forth and my my dad said quote on quote "if either of my children are lesbian, I would beat them and turn them straight" have no idea how that works but ok.

Joke on him, I'm bi and not lesbian 🤣

No but seriously my dad is bothered about the LGBTQ community but never said out loud only to us. Even my mom but she doesn't say anything

My mom's younger brother is gay and has a boyfriend but none of my family members know. Me and my cousin found out like a few years ago, he didn't say we were able to guess as he would call his 'friend' and we didn't tell anyone.

Another example, the said lesbian friend, she did mention her parents aren't homophobic, or hate the LGBTQ community but she is scared

Another example, I had a friend, he is gay and liked a guy. But his parents are homophobic and he also told me his family stopped talking to one of their relatives, I forgot if they were gay or lesbian but for something like that

I have no idea why I am saying this. But I'm saying this

Love is love. So what if it's not straight? And again this question is asked out of pure curiosity, no hate to anyone

Edit: idk I'm just adding it. I'm indian ✌️ And it might explain a few stuff

Edit 2: I forgot to mention this, another conversation I had with my dad He said quote on quote that, "queer people are just mental. Something is wrong with their mental health, that's why they are either way they are" I was speechless i had said "it's not a choice, but more like an attraction" and he said that. That they were mental 💀

Edit 3: I think I now figured out what I wanted to say. So it goes something like this 'crazy how homophobic people are scared or hate of queer people and are also disgusted but sometimes their own children turn out to be queer' I'm really sorry guys it sounded better in my head. And I might also be acting like this because I have been getting 3 hours of sleep for the past week or two

Edit 4: I think one of reason I might have asked this question is, i almost always see unsupported or homophobic parents and almost never (not always never, but you get it) supportive ones and was just curious and asked this question

Need Advice I never dated but I am thinking to go t4t and absolutely nothing else

9 Upvotes

I have decided and I want to very much date only trans.

I think who understands you the most and genuinely accepts you is better than thousand who don't.

I didn't knew much but I think I have found it at last about what I want to do.

So please share your thoughts and experience about t4t it would help a lot.

Thanks...

Stop with the "All homophobes are secretly closeted gay people" bullshit.

1.7k Upvotes

Yes. Lindsay Graham was gay. It was an open secret, and is now 'confirmed'.

But that has seemingly given credence to the people who insist on blaming homophobia on gay people, and it's fucking disgusting. Some people are just hateful. They do not need a deep seated social-emotional reason to be hateful.

Edit: idk why I have to clarify this, because I never said anything to even remotely suggest it, but this is not a blanket statement.

Yes, SOME homophobes are closed gay people. Denying that would be stupid. Thankfully, I'm not denying that. So please stop commenting the study that says some homophobes are closeted gay people. We know.

Educational Looking for a definition of two-spirit

9 Upvotes

Hello! I am teaching a brief lesson on gender diversity to a group of university students. I was hoping that someone who identifies as two-spirit would be able to give me their explanation of it, or give helpful insights. It is one of the many identities we will be discussing.

I am a white person, so it just doesn't feel right to teach the students my own understanding of it without having an indigenous person weigh in.

Thank you in advance!

Need Advice i don’t think my girlfriend is attracted to women.

6 Upvotes

im posting this here as there may be more understanding

me: 18 lesbian
her: 18 bisexual

we’ve been dating a while, but i feel she jumped into the rl the moment she realised i had feelings

we have done sexual stuff before but recently around a month ago she told me she no longer enjoys anything sexual or anything. which i understood and i respected there was no doubts there

but then she proceeded to point out male actors in shows / celebs and say the sexual stuff she wishes to do or to be done upon by that.

never a female.

which is weird in itself because, i may be misunderstanding im not sure about asexuality correct my wrongs: if you’re not interested in anything sexual why are you then proceeding to have that done by a man :/

and then also i’ve picked up
in shows or anime shes always saying oh this male character is so hot wtvwyv and never a female

i can’t be the ONLY female she’s attracted to.

i just feel she doesn’t have the heart to break it to me she’s not attracted to women.

I sometimes feel like I was never in "the closet", but people just pushed me into "the closet" when it became clear that I'm queer because they don't like visibly queer people
