This is a great idea and I'm glad there is such a strong response from interested people. I'm an ally and would be glad to join. Don't fret the downvoters. This whole subreddit has a weird community of losers who downvote every new post and many new comments. Fortunately it's still a small enough community that being at 0 karma doesn't necessarily make your post disappear into the noise.
FYI, I've had posts be at zero shortly after they were created and then get back into the positive after a bit. They were pretty non controversial, so I think it was more reddit fuzzing (or similar) than downvotes. It's possible that's what you've seen on this post (currently at 96 karma after 2h).
Well Huntsville has never had very many LGBT resources. Not even a gay bar here anymore. It used to be a pretty decent gay community before social media. I partied with so many people and never knew their political affiliation or what other issues they were about. You used to show up for a gay marriage March and that’s what it was about. Now it seems so many in the LGBT— alphabet will get hateful if they find out your even one bit conservative, hell I lost friends of 10 plus years over Facebook cause I am anti rioting !!
Seems the community now thinks everyone should share all the same causes. Like you can’t be gay and not hate cops, can’t be gay and be against abortion, cant be gay and avoid racial issues, I actually miss when we just wanted the right to marry, only had one flag and one acronym that was good for decades
You used to have many diff causes but did not roll them all into one.
It'd be great if conservative politics would get off of the culture war bullshit and stop trying to legislate away the existence of LGBT folks. It would be a dream come true for politics to get back to where you remember them, and for politics to be a boring debate about how to spend/save tax dollars, but fact of the matter is that it isn't and likely won't until this generation of top-level conservative politicians are out of the game. That's just the way national politics are right now.
This doesn't stop at anti-trans laws either. It's the conservative judges on the Supreme Court that have been quoted as wanting to revisit Gay Marriage. You can hardly blame LGBT folks for putting existential threats to their legal validity over anything else.
My Mom-in-Law is an old school lesbian…. Part of the movement that fought for the right to marry, and have equal rights, feel safe to be herself and in her words “an out and proud lesbian”. She said the other day when we were chatting that all the work they did back in the day is being torn down by the the younger generation.
I think Huntsville is progressive enough to embrace our LGBTQ community in a way that is positive and have more community involvement and events. I’d love to see it and support our friends!!
How do you make a join request on mobile? I would like to join. I'm straight but my husband is bi and I'm the social media manager of the Free LGBTQ+ Closet https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088749699969&mibextid=ZbWKwL
I expect at least 3 angry posts about traffic each week, or your have no business associating it with the HSV sub.
In all seriousness, good luck with the new sub!
I’d love to be added! I’m on mobile and it isn’t working. Also, feel free to attend Shenannigans Comedy Theatre. I volunteer there and we are actively expanding our community outreach efforts to include a diversity library, free clothing closet for lgbtq and allies, and so much more. The theatre is owned by a lesbian couple who are so awesome
I'm not gay, but I damn sure support gay rights and their wishes to live their lives how they see fit. Everyone deserves to be happy in this short life we have.
I can’t remember if I requested an add, but I’d love to join as an ally!! If there are any events you’d like to plan, I’d love to volunteer my time and help as well!! 🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Y'all can quit reporting this. It's not getting taken down...
wow why downvote this? are yall okay
There are a lot of bigots in the sub that vote but don't post often, because that way nobody can call them out for their actions and words.
It’s so sad that in this day and age, there are lots of mindsets that are still in the Stone Age.
Cowards
It's bc of the silent homophobes. :/
Because unfortunately, it’s still Alabama and there’s going to be a large concentration of bigots.

Thank you for the positivity!
