Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender

LGBT (or GLBT) is an initialism referring collectively to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. In use since the 1990s, the term "LGBT" is an adaptation of the initialism "LGB", which itself started replacing the phrase "gay community", which many within LGBT communities felt did not represent accurately all those to whom it referred. In modern usage, the term LGBT is intended to emphasize a diversity of "sexuality and gender identity‐based cultures" and is sometimes used to refer to anyone who is non‐heterosexual instead of exclusively to people who are homosexual, bisexual, or transgender.[1][2] To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for queer or those questioning their sexual identity (e.g., "LGBTQ").

The acronym has become mainstream as a self-designation and has been adopted by the majority of LGBT community centers and LGBT media in many English‐speaking countries.

Dear Community,

What a year, huh...
Sometimes it feels like there is a different cataclysmic event going on every day, horrible news one after the other, some of us affected by it more than others.
It can feel paralyzing seeing how these lakes of liberty, safety, and rights are drying up, one after the other... but while water evaporates, leaving parched land of oppression behind, clouds of freedom rain down on other lands:
You can now legally same-sex marry in Liechtenstein, Spain has appointed their first global LGBTQ+ rights envoy in their international fight for LGBTQ+ human rights, and the TJA (Trans Journalist Association) has launched its first fellowship to invest in accurate reporting and fund their commitment to complex and accurate journalism on trans rights and lives.

While some of us are gone, lost in these droughts, we are still here, keeping memory of them alive, knowing who they truly were, who their real, their chosen families were, not those who have never accepted who they are on the inside. It's up to all of us to work towards a future which those who are gone and we who remain could only hope for!

All of you deserve happy and safe lives.

Last year I mentioned how important, escpecially for the younger ones of us, it is to keep learning, to get a good education, a good and stable position in life!
This weekend, the VRC Trans Academy is hosting their annual Trans Pride VR!
In a variety of panels, trans and non binary folks from different fields will share their experiences about what it's like to be a non-cis individual in certain fields or how to express their gender identity in their work. You can watch them live in VRChat or on their Twitch channel:

Season’s Greetings to our incredible community!

We hope you're staying warm! (But not too warm, if you're in a place that's already...well...warm.) But whether you’re hunkered down with your Steam Dec- uh, I mean loved one, or finally tackling that "I’ll play it eventually" library, we hope your holidays are absolutely warm of heart!

As we wrap up another year of love, gaming, and love of gaming, we want to remind you that you're NOT alone. Keep your spirits and your frame rates high! We hope you’re able to be your true, authentic selves this season with no "stealth mode" required. "Bi" the way...(see what I did there?) if you see any hidden gems during the Winter Sale, be sure to share them in the comments or group chat!

Okay, no more dad jokes, and rest assured, all gay puns are handcrafted by a 100% organic, carbon-based gamer. Because honestly? An AI would never understand the specific, crushing emotional weight of buying a $60 AAA title just to spend 400 hours playing a pixel-art farming sim instead. My token limit- I mean, my brain is purely biological, I swear.

As a non-LLM, we’re so proud to have you all here! We love you!! Stay fabulous and happy gaming!
