The BMGf Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Allies Club​

If you don't know what inspired this, you aren't keeping up with the SOVA thread. A certain user was not respectful to voice actor Maddie Blaustein for being a transsexual, and many members stood up to support her.

So, this club is discussion, support, and respect for all sexual identities. Welcome. Please read the rules before going any futher.

1. If you support and respect all sexualities, you don't even have to ask to join the club. Welcome! Make yourself comfy, have some punch and cookies.
2. Stay on topic. There's SO much room for discussion, so hopefully this will be pretty easy.
3. This is a club for supporters of all sexual identities. This is not the place for debating them; please direct yourself to the Soap Box forum if you're looking to debate morality. And this is definitely not the place for flaming or disrespecting anyone. Warnings will be minimal, punishments will be severe. If you are planning on posting in this club, please take extra care to watch your words and keep it kosher.
4. Insert all the other rules of Bulbagarden Forums in general here.
 
*pours himself some punch, helps himself to some cookies, and makes chocolate milk for everyone*

Indeed a nice comfy place where anyone on bulba can feel good about themselves and anyone who also supports and understands people can feel welcome. Thanks for making this thread Pie. As a bisexual human being, I am proud to be a part of this club. :D

*sets up several kotatsu (sp?) so that everyone can sit down and feel warm and comfy while enjoying their punch, cookies, and chocolate milk while getting to know everybody.*

Let's have fun guys!
 
I'll join as well!

This is a great idea for a club! ^_^


I've never in my life judged anyone based on anything whatsoever. I have friends of all sexual identities. :-)
 
I am glad to see some people who are joining. I might just have to go out and buy some extra snacks for this club seeing as how people are enjoying the cookies. :P
 
By the way, for anyone who's curious, I'm a heterosexual female who is extremely fond of crossdressing.

Even if binding my breasts can be kinda painful due to their size. >_o'
 
I'm in! :D

I'm straight as an arrow, but I respect all other sexualities. My room mate is bisexual. In fact, most of my friends at college are bisexual/homosexual...

They make fun of me for being a "breeder". xD But seriously. This was a good idea for a club.
 
You're a heterosexual female with a Brock fetish Pie. :P
 
*partakes of cookies* I'm in. I identify myself as asexual. And female, in case you were thrown off by Joey.

And a bowtie fetish, and a fondness for crossdressing and possibly a saran wrap fetish stemming from that. I'm more than just a Brockoholic, believe it or not.

People have assumed I'm a lesbian a lot because I'm very confident and notably masculine, can talk deeply, enjoy crossdressing, don't date a lot... a few people have been very surprised when they find out that I'm basically like a female Brock around hot men. Preference is completely independent of everything else.

In high school, I knew a lot of gay men because I was involved in the Drama Club and... well, I know it's mostly just a stereotype, but a lot of the gay men in our school were fond of theater and excellent actors.

One of my friends, Jimmy, was a frequent crossdresser and he made one of the hottest women I had ever seen. He performed at the school talent show as a female pop diva, and it was an amazingly convincing performance... from the distance, you only knew he was a male in drag because he wanted you to know.

Currently, one of my closest friends at college is bisexual and dating another woman. I feel bad for her because her parents do not support homosexuality... she reads The Advocate religiously, but hides her magazines because she knows she'd be in a world of trouble if she was caught by her family. But she's an awesome and wonderful person... and she even was drawing on sugar cookies with frosting a little while ago, and drew me a Brock cookie. It was the sweetest cookie I had ever eaten. ^^
 
You know, I really find it a shame when people have to hide who they are (I will not use the term choice because I strongly believe that sexuality isn't a choice) because family members and such don't understand. As I have said before, religion isn't meant to be used as an excuse to hate someone, and anyone who does use it as such needs to re-evaluate their life.

Gays and bisexuals have a hard enough time in the world as it is, family should be more supportive because if you don't have your family... what do you have? :(
 
I am not looking for a thread that will top everything else. I just think that this thread will be a nice place for like-minded people to be able to sit back and have a good time.

I also am hoping that this thread will help other people in the community who are gay/lesbian/bi/transgendered to be able to have someone to talk to when they need it. I am sure that as time goes on, this thread will prove to be fun and also supportive. Let's do our best everyone! :D
 
People tend to think that I'm gay too, mostly because of my lack of interest in guys. They overlook that I'm not interested in girls either.

And I like to dress like a guy. T-shirt and jeans, most of the year, and never any pastels or anything.
 
I agree with everything you said there, Satoshi-kun!! ^_^

And don't forget the Ash Club, which has over 600 pages. XD


To this day, I still can't figure out how Toto made all those thousands of posts...... O.O

Yeah, she's basically the reason why the Ash club has so many pages in the first place. Though, the sad part is, I'm *still* trying to top the amount of posts she made in the Ash club. XD
 
Ah, I'll join. I'm accepting of all walks of life. It doesn't matter to me what a person's sexual orientation is. Just as long as they are a nice person, I'll talk to them. One of my best friends is a lesbian, and has received a lot of hate directed toward her from our fellow co-workers. But I would rather be friends with someone who makes me laugh and is there to talk to rather than people who judge others.

As for me, I'm a straight Type-B asexual female. I also like to dress as a guy, shopping 99.9% of the time in the Men's department, aside for those certain needed garments. o.o;
 
I forgot to mention, I'm a straight female. ^^

Though, over the last few years, I've only known one guy who I really liked. And unfortunately, he had to move away. Right when we got so close as well...... :-(


Anyway, there are guys who have crushes on me right now, but I don't feel the same way about them. They are just my friends.




You see, I'm weird, because I only get attracted to special kind of guys (they have to have certain looks and/or they must have a certain personality that "turns me on", I guess you could say).

Same here! The female fashion industry disappoints me. xD So wherever I go, I make a beeline for the guy section.

Until I had a boyfriend, people thought I was gay all the time. I think it's because my hair is short, too. :( And even after I had a boyfriend, they still thought so. We would go out somewhere and girls would hit on him, assuming I was the lesbian friend. D: Which led to the time I got in trouble with the music department for pushing one ho into her locker, which didn't really help my case, lol...but that's another story.

Anyway, I wanted to say that my college campus is very supportive of homosexuality/transgenders/etc. and I think that's awesome. We have a BGLAAD that meets every Thursday (now it's name is changed to SAGA, and I'm not actually a member but my room mate is.). Also, the head of the psychology department is a transgender, and all of the bathrooms in the psychology building have been turned into unisex bathrooms, and they're fighting to get *all* of the bathrooms on campus turned unisex.

Also, they're fighting *against* gender-specific rooms in the dorms. You know, they always put two girls in a room or two guys in a room. They want to change this so that if a gay guy would feel more comfortable rooming with a female, he could do so. I imagine it must be somewhat uncomfortable for them, if I think of what it would be like for a second if they roomed me with a man. But the thing is...while I think that's a nice idea and all, to be able to room with whatever gender you're comfortable with, I think it's a little bit dangerous to pursue. I mean, any straight male could say he was gay and get in a room with a girl. Imagine the rapes. D: I dunno. What do you guys think of that issue?
 
I feel that opening dorms for all students to room with whichever sex they want could be opening a can of worms. I don't see rape being that much of a possibility (come on, I would like to think that most college students would know how to treat a lady), but I was thinking about things like hetero couples using that to room together, which could possibly lead to pregnancy... even though if a couple wants to have sex not much really stops them as it is, lol. But at the same time, it could be interesting to see what being supportive of gays on a college campus would do for our morale.

Personally I went to college at a Methodist-run liberal arts college and I was only out of the closet to maybe 2 or 3 people on that entire campus, and instead of actually feeling comfortable about myself and being a part of campus activities, I just hid in my dorm and stayed on my computer (but I have always been a computer nerd anyway). My distaste/fear of the school/student base (had no choice of where I went to college, I had won a full scholarship to that school and therefore my family had decided that was the school that I was ABSOLUTELY going to) was part of what probably drove me to eventually fail out and never return.

I think that maybe the pros would far outweigh the cons of having rules that supported gays on a college campus. It's a shame being a part of one of the only minorities that it is still considered in most societies to hate. I mean, where the fuck is the ACLU or any other groups like that? I don't see them coming to bat for the gay community so often, and unlike racial slurs, you can still say "faggot" in a crowd and very few people are going to turn to the person who said that and tell them that they are wrong for having said that. :(
