I’m a mod from r/TheArmedGayAgenda subreddit it’s for lgbt+ firearms owners, we’re working on our own lemmy instance but I was curious if we’d be welcome setting up a community here?

    You’re more than welcome to do so! If you’re inclusive, this space is for you, doubly so if you’re queer :)

    I am just disappointed because I first read LGBT+ firework owners, and imagined a community dedicated to creating some truly fabulous firework displays. Alas. :(

      Downvotes are disabled on this (lemmy.blahaj.zone) instance. 😉

      That said… I’m personally quite anti-gun, but I accept there are plenty of queerfolk who feel differently. Hopefully Lemmy will soon allow users to mute specific communities so I won’t see this group’s content in my Local feed. But my dislike doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a safe and welcoming place for their discussions, so I still wouldn’t downvote this even if I could. 🙂

        You can block the community once it’s created and you’ll never see it again. Which is what I’ll be doing, since I have no desire to see the promotion of murder weapons or even more usdefaultism in my feed.

        Yep, same. I’m anti gun myself, but this is a space for queer folk, and if other queer folk want to talk guns, there is space for them to do so

        I don’t like guns either but as long as they promote safe storage, training, and good safety then cool

    I’m on kbin, plus the cis het thing going on, and I say do it. People are here, which reddit has been missing for years.

    I’ll join. I don’t own a gun, but I’m an old lesbian trying to decide if my arthritic hands would tolerate the discipline of learning to shoot.

      I can give you some pointers if you would like. Definitely do not let anyone talk you into a snub nose revolver, old fudd gremlins like to tell women to get small revolvers & their snappy & really bad options all-around. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have & I can point you in the right direction.

    I set up a version of LiberalGunOwners a week or two ago; as far as I’m concerned, you are more than welcome. As Operation Blazing Spear sez, armed queers bash back.
