@jentaub On what is (probably) a final note, while my understanding is that Mastodon was founded in part by and for people who are #queer and #lgbtq, they and the culture they established are or are in danger of being sidelined. Perhaps we have to think about both preservation and reformation as Mastodon continues to grow, I hope.

@billday @jentaub I see it as being a part of a greater whole, which is the goal everywhere. Your orientation should not be who you are as a person, it should simply be and largely ignored like cys/hetero people are.

@vindictus @billday @jentaub - When LGBTQ+ folks have full legal equality, then we can 'ignore' our orientation. Not before. Cis/heteronormativity certainly chooses to ignore us. Don't be part of that. Affirm our presence!

@drewherzig @billday @jentaub You are misreading what I said, there is not a fight everywhere you look. Nobody is ignoring your needs, I said you SHOULD not have your identity be who you are, the person is what matters. Don't be that person always looking to fight people on your side.
