I have just created a new chat group called LGBTQ Chatty Cathies.
Our community spectrum is still rather fragmented on this site, and it might be nice to have a place where we can congregate more in real time. This is specifically for members of the LGBTQ community and invited allies (sorry, but there are too many homophobes and transphobes on this site to have it be completely open and to have safety within the group).
Some rules:
-Please be discreet and don't spill what people say to members outside the group. Not cool.
-Please no hissy fits within the chat room. If you're upset about something, then kindly leave and chill.
-The chat room isn't for hitting on other people (ESPECIALLY if they aren't comfortable with it). If you want to have a private conversation, then do it through site messaging, not the chatroom.
-Raunch and bad taste are encouraged, but please try to avoid triggering 'humor' (related to sexual assault, transphobia, etc.)
I'm going to be coming up with some times when we can meet. It's not easy given the International nature of the site so, if you join in, could you please say a general time zone you're in (ie Same as New York, Same as London, Same as Sydney) so I can come up with times which will potentially work.

Interesting! Yes, the timing question does seem challenging.
I am in the U.S. Central time zone, same as Chicago.

It is so incredibly hard to believe that agnostic/atheist/freethinkers would be homo/transphobic . I always thought they/we were a little more intelligent than believers, at least that has been my experience. And I would think that intelligence would bring open-mindedness.

It would be nice to be able to assume such enlightenment. Unfortunately, prejudice is not a rare commodity. ? I am reminded of the problems of sexist and racist white gay men. (Sigh)
@MikeInBatonRouge I was just saying that it has been my experience for many years to know atheists who seem more intelligent and enlightened than religious people.
@ThinkingFree Oh, I agree with you. Just making the point that demographic status still is no guaranteed innoculation against prejudice.
Same as New York.
I’m so old, I once HAD a Chatty Cathy! Mrs. Beasley, too.

@MrLizard I had mine up til this move, when half my stuff disappeared...thanks to my son. I miss her!
@MrLizard I’ll get my son and his wife to take care of that for ya! It’s bad enough he did it, now he’s lying about doing it: somehow it’s all MY fault. ?
@MrLizard I totally get that. Try local ‘one man’s junk’ type groups. I’ve had excellent luck there, and it’s local.
