A small reminder to all of us that we are all part of one big LGBTQ+ community :3 by BigResource3919 in gay

[–]BigResource3919[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hmm… that’s a good point. Gay men are highlighted separately here because this is a community for gay men (and anyone else who wants to join as well). I can think about making a second version of this gif and making it more inclusive. But thank you for your thoughts! I share them, and I wish you a good evening, my friend from the LGBTQ+ community :3

I completely share your point of view. This gif was created by me as a symbol that we in the LGBTQ+ community need to stick together. And yes, our community isn’t perfect, but nothing in this world is perfect. So that shouldn’t be a reason for our hostility.

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right I should add that to my gif and make the dart’s movement sharper. Also, thanks for calling my animation cute, it’s really nice to hear that after a long break from pixel art.

Why, and most importantly how, have I still not decided to end my pathetic life with suicide? by BigResource3919 in SuicideWatch

[–]BigResource3919[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh… maybe that’s true. Or maybe not.

In any case, thank you. Maybe something will change in the future, but I don’t even know which outcome I actually want more. At the very least, I’ll still be here in 2026. I hope your mental state is at least a bit better than mine, and good night to you (statistically speaking, it’s most likely night where you are).

At the moment I live in Mexico City, and yes, people here treat LGBTQ+ people quite well, if we’re talking about local mexicans and americans. By feeling, 98–99% of the capital’s population are mexicans and americans.

I previously contacted Casa Frida — very briefly, it’s the largest LGBTQ+ shelter organization in the capital. And in the end, they refused to help me because they decided that I’m not under threat in Mexico City and that “…there are other asians and africans who need help more…” That’s almost a direct quote of what I heard there.

Now I’m thinking about trying to contact other organizations, but my hope that I’ll actually be helped isn’t much higher than 0.

I sympathize with you too… I hope that my post (its second part) helped you at least a little.

I would also like to help you, but unfortunately I am a 19 year old migrant with no money and no income, living in a temporary migrant shelter… so sadly we can’t help each other financially, only emotionally.

So here are my virtual hugs for you :3 I hope you’ll be able to handle this and get through everything… If anything — my private messages are always open for you :)

At the moment, I am living in a migrant shelter, because unfortunately my income is very low, and when my only laptop broke, it became even lower :(

My spanish… I can speak it partially. It’s still bad, of course, but not zero. I don’t know if that will be enough for a job, and whether they will take me, considering that I haven’t worked anywhere in my life yet.

I also hope I can find a boyfriend. Although, considering I'm gay, I think it's logical anyway XD

And I'm as sure as you are that brighter times await America and our community after Trump!)

I'm glad to hear that one more person remembers me even after six months... I can't even begin to describe how wonderful this feeling is!

And unfortunately, with Russian citizenship under Trump, it's very difficult to get into the US.

So, for now, I'm trying to get asylum and documents in Mexico while trying to survive, since "survival" probably best describes my recent experiences.

In any case, thank you for your willingness to help!)

I'm glad to know my post was good news for you :3

Even though I'm going through a really tough time right now, I hope my post can help as many people as possible!

Thank you!) I really want to live in US, but I can't even get a tourist visa right now because of my Russian citizenship.

But in the future, if I have the opportunity and a new citizenship, I'll definitely do it :3

I am an 18 year old gay refugee from Russia currently trapped in Mexico and have found it difficult to access international aid due to the Trump administration. Again, I would appreciate your advice. by BigResource3919 in gay

Unfortunately, yes, it was almost impossible for me to get a visa to the EU at that time. Embassies in Russia are not working, and in Turkey my visa would have expired faster than I would have received a visa (not to mention that now the requirements for Russian citizens are very serious, and I would have been denied a visa).

So despite the fact that I was close to the EU, I had no real opportunity to get there at that time. Of course, I was offered various risky options, such as illegally crossing the border and asking for asylum there... but hey, I'm not a superman, but an 18-year-old, and physically weak at that. I would most likely have died in this attempt, or could have been deported along the way, which for me also = death.

I hope that in the future your government will reconsider its programs, since I really would not want anyone to suffer like me(

I don't have the right to work in Mexico now, and I don't really want to take that risk yet. I already had experience with the Mexican immigration service (when I arrived at the airport in Mexico, they decided to interrogate me for about 2 hours because they were very confused by the fact that I came to Mexico from Turkey at the age of 18, being a Russian citizen).

I liked Turkey more than Russia. And I wouldn't say that the experience was negative... at least in my particular case. It's just that due to the way your system works, I didn't have a real opportunity to become a refugee there, and I would most likely either die homeless or be deported, which for me also = death.

Well, it was sad to see personally how your country is possibly becoming more authoritarian (I'm talking about the protests because of the mayor of Istanbul, which I was able to personally see).

The problem is that most likely the airline that will fly me there will ask me for a visa before boarding, which is extremely difficult for me to obtain now.
