I’ve been on DU since the beginning and the LGBT community here has a long history here - some of it positive and some of it not. There was a time when there were hidden boards for LGBT members of DU to discuss how we were feeling because it wasn’t safe discussing it here. Those days are long gone fortunately. My point with the post was to see how people are feeling and if there is anything else we could do to see our goals and efforts as a community succeed.
