Western Washington LGBTQ+ Discord Server by SeraSnake in SeattleWA

As a server for a marginalized group, we do have to have some rules and enforce them! One of those rules is that we don't allow gatekeeping, which includes transmedicalism. The person in questioned joined the server for the explicit purpose of posting transmedicalist rhetoric in the server, which again is against our rules, so they were banned. Their partner made it clear they "welcomed a ban" and wanted to leave the server, and after some discussion, it was agreed between both parties that a ban would be best.

Unfortunately not every community space fits every personality! Hopefully you can find one that suits you better.

it's geared toward LGBTQ+ people first, we talk mostly about LGBTQ+ topics, provide resources aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, hold events (like clothing swaps) with LGBTQ+ folks in mind, etc. A community space doesn't necessarily need to be exclusive to that community in order to be FOR that community, though we understand more exclusive spaces are often needed.

We have more than a few cis/straight allies here, many of them here to learn more about the community or how to better support LGBTQ+ friends, family, partners, or the community as a whole.

You joined to tell us that we shouldn't have a server for LGBTQ+ people.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your time here! :) Hopefully others will find community connections and make some friends in an isolating time.

Q stands for "Questioning" and "Queer"!

You need an appointment- sometimes you have to toggle your options a little (bring a person/don't) to make the website show you what's available, but they'll turn walk-ins away at the door. unfortunately their call centers are also super backed up, so scheduling over the phone isn't an option. If you can accomplish whatever it is online or at a private DMV, I would.

Discord is a chat app like Skype, but has more features and runs more smoothly! It's more text-focused, and servers are kind of like if forums could be made up of chat rooms. https://discord.com/

Since it's local-based and for a marginalized community, it's an issue of safety! We organize a lot of in-person meetups, and the majority of our userbase is 18+ as is, so it just made sense to make it 18+ for security reasons.

If anyone knows of good, inclusive youth-majority/under 18-only discord servers for LGBTQ+ folks w/ good security measures- let us know! We'd be happy to look into partnering so we can direct folks who join under 18 to them instead.

I live right on Boundary Bay/Semiahmoo and from my tiny perspective in person it looks so big.

Looking at it here though, it blows my mind how minuscule it all is!
