No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Lmao no, sticking your tongue out isn't a "gay" thing. I guess he's trying to be cute, so sorta feminine and stereotypical but it's not really something I'd consider part of gay culture. (I'm bi, my best friend is gay and I've hung out with a lot of gay men.)
Thanks for the input.
I'm late to learning a lot about this, I'm catching up on like 30 years of being whatever the opposite of woke is. Slept? I dunno.
Once someone I was close to came out I've been trying to learn a lot about LGBT stuff. I have him to learn a lot of it but he hasn't really heard of this and I've been wondering about it on the back burner. Got another story post just before I posted this, which reminded me to ask a broader audience than one dude.
I grew up(still in actually) a very red town so once I figured out LGBT people weren't mentally deranged and broke out of the religious bubble I was in (about 9 years ago for the religious breakout coming up on like 12 for figuring gay doesn't mean "going to hell".
It's been eye opening. Me and the guy I mentioned earlier that came out have been having movie day once a week, and I've seen a lot of gay and trans movies (recent examples are the birdcage and the Patrick Swayze drag movie that I forgot the name of)now and I just love the people in the rainbow so much.
I'm not switching teams, (sorry guys, I still want the ladies) but I don't feel gross about the entire concept anymore.
I said and thought a lot of stuff then that I come about now and I'm trying to be better now. If I was missing some context and learned about it here I woulda brought it up just to see if he was proud of the effort. But no dice for me.
It's nice to hear that people who were previously either against LGBTQ people or on the fence can actually change their minds and come to accept others. :3
