Posted in the LGBTQ+ acronym Posted 7 years ago
I'll chime in with just a little scenario that took place last week that blew my mind. My brother is a few years younger than me and we have different opinions like all people. He was sharing that "Straight Pride" content all over his facebook. I have a boyfriend, so (as much as I believe labels aren't necessary as we should just be free to be ourselves and not be divided, blah, blah, blah) I suppose that identifies me as a Gay male.

I get along very well with all my siblings and they are accepting of who I am and my relationship, but it rubbed me the wrong way that he went around sharing all this content well knowing it could hurt someone he loves.

So I tried to explain to him that he should probably do some research on why pride month and the parade exist. Long story short, he said "LGBTQ+ " doesn't include straight people.... and... we should all be "equal" so there should be an "=". (YEAH I KNOW.. DEAD!) 1. There is so much inequality in our world even beyond the topic of sexuality and "straight people" have more rights than any minority sexuality 2. the plus is inclusive of all other sexualities and identities.

My brain exploded at this point and I just put my phone down and let it be.

So, in conclusion, I agree the LGBTQ+ acronym is just fine as it is and there's no reason to really extend it. Might as well just be the alphabet at that point. xD

@Starscream: Okay, your username should now read Starscream.
If you don't see it right away you may need to clear your cache by pressing both CTRL & F5.
Posted in unable to capitalize username? Posted 7 years ago
@starscream: The username system is case-insensitive so it's recognizing the request as being already in use since it's your current username. I can update it to the correct capitalization. Just let me know how you'd like it to be formatted. :vanora_smile:

@KairoSama: Currently you can contact a moderator if you'd like your thread/topic to be "deleted." We'd still have access to the topic and could even undelete it - it's similar to moving a computer file to another folder or recycling bin. Development wise it may be possible to make this an option on the users end without needing to contact staff. So yes, "deleted" topics do still count towards the post goal as they are not truly deleted.
@Kozi: Aw, thanks! :3

I can confirm the email was received. I responded with further steps to regain access, but it appears my message was not recieved from the admin@voltra.us email.

I've just messaged the user with my personal email on how they can access their account. Thanks!
