This General is for discussion of politics involving the LGBT community. Any questions or concerns regarding the LGBT community are welcome, though we would prefer to keep the topics political in nature. This can range from LGBT rights to political affiliations to violence caused by extremists against the LGBT community.

Please keep discussion civil and if you at all feel threatened please be sure to report the person meaning you harm.

If you want more information about LGBT rights in your community, please refer here:
https://www.hrw.org/topic/lgbt-rights

When making a post or providing a link that may only be relevant to a certain aspect of the LGBT community, please specify so in the beginning of your comment. This will avoid confusion since a policy that affects transgenders may not affect gay men or lesbian women and vice versa.

This thread is open to those who do not consider themselves LGBT, though we do ask that you please be respectful of your fellow humans in the discussion. Please approach issues with a level of maturity.
