LGBT community

carguy86

New to the Forum. I came out 8 years ago, when I was 21. I'll never forget telling my mom. I was so nervous and she didn't know why. When I finally found the courage to say the words "I'm Gay Mom" her first response was "Oh thank God, I thought you were going to tell me you were dying or something."

 

Always though found it difficult to be a nerdy gay that is into tech, gaming, Sci-Fi, etc. Don't fit that masc or fem boxes that the community wants to try to fit us all in. How is the LGBT community on the forum? Always wondered if LMG has any LGBT persons in the company although it's really none of my business. Just would be nice to see more LGBT representation in the Tech world.

The people on this thread tend to range from very relaxed and kinda "don't care but I am [insert whatever]" to unabashedly [insert said whatever]. 

I'm well into the former category.

Aww, that's cute. I wish I had a cute coming out story like that, though I am glad at least my parents don't seem to mind, and have since become much more tolerant and understanding towards the LGBT community (Both are still very transphobic and do not understand or want to understand both non binary gender and non binary sex, though I will try and educate them on that)

Be who you want to be, and do not allow anyone to tell you otherwise.

The tech industry is pretty open and safe towards the gay community IMO, though I have heard of people who have had issues with former workplaces and such. Most of my gay friends (including myself) work or study in the tech industry.

 

I honestly want to live in a world where sexual orientation is not looked down on by other people. It's years away, which is unfortunate, but we will eventually get there.

have you watched Code Geass before? 

I haven't. Looks interesting. I liked Last Hope on Netflix so I bet I'd like that too. In regards to futurist robot fighting stuff.

Come out when you are ready, but please remember, you cannot be your full self when you are hiding who you are.

If I could point y'all back to page like 733, you'll see some interesting relics and what kicked off the relationship between @handymanshandle and I

Page 701 also has some importance

It’s nice when one of your exes call you out of the blue to cheer you up. It’s nice to be friends with your ex when you two ended things well. 

Are they the ex that you didn't like them introducing you to their current partner as their ex?

Nope. It’s a different one.

Last Windows update fucked me over because it somehow enable a "feature" in Windows Defender that made it impossible to save files from Chrome and wouldn't let me play some games ... "Controlled folder access"

 

Took me almost 10 days to find the culprit! And BTW, disabling Defender didn't disable that "feature", so at first it seemed like Defender wasn't the issue! :(

 

Thank you, Mister Lets-Enable-That-Option-After-This-Update, I still don't understand why Windows 10 overwrites some settings and preferences when updating. It's annoying as hell (I even have deferred updates enable to avoid as much of this crap as possible, yet, here we are!).

Speaking of the things the 1809 update has changed is Windows Defender. It's now turned on by default even with another antivirus installed (it has disabled real time protection) which is a pain in the butt because it's another process in the background. Pre-1809, it has a feature called limited periodic scanning which can be disabled. Now it can't. ?

LGBT. The B in LGBT means there are only two genders.

That may have been the original intent but that doesn't make it true. Also, the B refers to sexual identity, not gender identity. "Gender", sexual identity, and gender identity are not the same nor are they binary.

As long as anyone is oppressed, no one will be safe and free.

One has to be proactive, not reactive, to ensure the safety of one's data so backup your data! And RAID is NOT a backup!
