I don't know if many people can remember here, but on the old, sadly corrupted CV forums, we had something known as the LGBTQ+ thread. This thread was one of the most amazing things on the old forum and opened up one of the most amazing and most inspiring conversations and stories on the forums yet. I remembered this today and thought that we cannot simply let a thread like this go to waste to never be seen again.

So happy pride. I am so happy to announce that I am restarting this thread again.
What for?
This thread is a safe place, where all people from everywhere, all ages and backgrounds can connect their LGBTQIP+ stories in a friendly environment free from any kind of hate or prejudice whatsoever. Share your stories, your identities, and your LGBTQIP+ journey and feel comfortable and safe in this atmosphere to do so

We are welcoming of all and would love to hear some of your stories about your journey in this community. Most of all, we want you to feel safe and secure here. This is a forum post that will hopefully stay clean of unsupportive messages and hate and will invite a great environment for all to express themselves.
