2. The friends I've made.
3. The rich cultural history.

Answer 3

From a private point of view i'm bored stiff with some femmes questioning they're community royalty or an more desirable breed of lesbian basically because of the fact they're female, and seem down their caught up noses at butches. Gender identity and sexual orientation are no longer a similar in any respect, so this is perhaps comprehensible that some individuals of the community gripe approximately their inclusion. For myself, i could like our community to be welcoming and tolerant of all of us who feels at homestead here. Transsexuals choose someplace that they experience secure and guard while the the remainder of society shuns them, we are all on a similar ingredient scuffling with a similar lack of awareness and bigotry. it is my view besides.

Answer 4

I like that in many places there is a warm, welcoming feeling to those of us who have recently come out. There are support groups, and hot-lines-things that were not available earlier on. There are more people to support you-even when families and friends don't. In more and more places we can go and hang out in bars or clubs and not have to worry about being killed.
I love the diversity. I see less and less of labeling, and more of people just being who they are.

Answer 5

Once people come out, they're more forthcoming about things... I think it's beautiful when people don't bite their tongues... even the gay haters, without them, who would make us mad all the time? I don't like them as much as ya'll don't, but they keep us on our toes... I love a good argument, with the possibility of enlightenment on both parts

Answer 6

1. being special
2. able to meet people who are nice as you are.
3. not being so disturbed and distant from haters.
4. and able to understand fashion and enjoy it.

i always liked dressing so comfortable and stylish and having others compliment on it.

Answer 7

I'm not LGBT, but four of my best friends are gay men. All I have to say is that gay men make the best friends for a woman!!! They are so fun, classy, well-dressed, cultured, etc.

Answer 8

I agree with you, it is a strong feeling of family and togetherness
