[UK Forums] Creation of the eUK LGBT Private Forum
Thomas765
Hello all!
Recently an idea was brought forward by Zaphod Beeblebrox, an idea to open up a new private forum on the eUK official forums for people who identified as being LGBT and for people that support the LGBT community and the "fight" for equality. Admittedly, I did give Zaphod a little shove to get it started and encouraged others to support it but after less than a day, the forum was able to bring up ten sponsors/supporters for its creation.
Well it's always nice to keep people updated, of course but it is equally as nice to encourage people to join in on the group. Basically, I had envisaged a friendly place for the LGBT community on eRepublik, particularly in the eUK, to get together, talk, debate and such about issues, not only related to LGBT issues but issues on the whole. Essentially, what we're doing is forming our own, little subcommunity on the eUK forums.
Well, anyone. However, if you're going to be a prick, you won't be allowed access. The intention is to have a forum where people are friendly to each other, so if you can't manage that then you won't be given access. In general, people who support the LGBT community and people of the LGBT community are encouraged to join.
The forum already has over 10 active users and over 100 posts have been made. Anyone is free to join so long as they're friendly about it!
You need to be a member of the UK national forums first of all. Once there and logged in, you can request access to the forum by finding "Organisations - LGBT" here and joining the group. Zaphod or I can add members, so if you do wish to join then there is a high chance you will be added speedily
😛You can always send me over a PM if you can't work it out, though.
Thanks for reading,

Edit: Since a few people have had to ask what LGBT stands for... it means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender

Voted, supported and looking forward to growing my handlebar moustache
Am I dumb for asking what LGBT stands for? But seriously I don't know so...
it means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender : P
Ahh okay, not a member of that community myself but I do support them in their struggles 🙂
YES!!! I didn't want to be the first to ask \o/
Much appreciated LongShotz O7
I thought everyone knew what it meant lol
For equality sake, is there going to be a nice private forum for the straight community?
Well nobody's requested one yet so idk
I can't think of anything more boring than a heterosexual forum.
Porn threads?
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against all this, it seems like a great move to introduce somewhere for a community to talk.
I was just being silly, don't take this seriously :3
YOU WILL BURN IN HELL!!!!!!
We were born this way, baby.
Brixton?
thats racist
Brixtons racist? Hope not I have family who were born there
Luckily, hell is non-existant. so, no worries. : )

Great idea lads.
Want a more pronounceable acronym?
Q - Queer and Questioning
U - Unidentified
I - Intersex
L - Lesbian
T - Transgender, Transexual
B - Bisexual
A - Asexual, Ally
G - Gay, Genderqueer
Found it in the comments of an Economist article - not sure if it'll catch on though : P
QUILTBAG? Lol'd
Great to see some initiative from the community with the support of this idea. I'm not gay myself but I do support those willing to show it publicly like this, excellent job guys!
