Be sure to educate yourself (using trusted sources)! If you're planning on saying anything more than just "Happy pride month", be sure to think about what you're saying and do research (educate yourself). Uneducated opinions and content (posts, comments, etc.) can come off as homophobic, even if you're not.
And remember; there are many different ways to support 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Usually, when people mention "support", they mean you wouldn't disown or kick out a family member or stop being friends with someone (or other similar situations), for specifically being within the community - they also mean you support that they have human rights.
Saying you do not support the community can come off as homophobic (doesn't mean it always is), even if you don't intend for it to be. The reason why it can come off that way is due to how support (mentioned above) is often viewed. For example, it can seem like you would disown or kick out a family member, stop being friends with someone for the sole reason of them being in the community, and are against the idea of them having human rights.
In conclusion: - Please be sure to educate yourself. - There are many different ways to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, but when people mention just support, they often mean basic human rights + respect. - Saying you don't support the community can come off as homophobic (it doesn't mean it is or was meant to be, but it can seem that way), so be careful and aware of the words you use.
This post will (hopefully) make certain things more...clear. I've seen a lot of arguments about this (support) and it's quite upsetting. Be respectful and kind to everyone; arguments get you nowhere. Report those who are actively breaking PMC rules and guidelines. Block people instead of arguing with them (you can always unblock them later).
Stay safe everyone.

Two-Spirit. It's used here in Canada from time to time, so I ultimately picked it up. I'm not sure if it's used in other countries, though. I would explain what it means and its importance, but I don't want to get any information wrong. So, if you're interested, I would highly suggest finding a good source explaining it :]
I Intended to turn off comments but i CANNOT. its a glitch on my end. i could not be bothered turning them off. if you're gonna comment, don't say something stupid. don't start arguments. reports will be made and you'll probably get sad (also there's no point to argue) ty :pray:
