welcome to the 1st
LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY THREAD

This is a community thread created in the same vein as embassies threads; it's a place for LGBTQIA+ fans and allies to talk about their experiences in real life and how the show portrays the community. This includes discussion about any of the LGBTQIA+ storylines, couples, and characters on Julie and the Phantoms, as well as any LGBTQIA+/allies persons of the cast and crew -- but please remember that opinions will differ on certain subjects and try to keep it polite. Expressing dislike of a character or frustration at a storyline is acceptable, but full-on bashing is not. This thread is considered a SAFE SPACE. Derogatory remarks about a character/member's sexual orientation is not allowed and will not be tolerated. If you have a question about something, feel free to ask, but please be respectful.

♫♫♫♫
I'm awakened
No more faking
So we push all our fears away

♪♪♪

We're all bright now
What a sight now
Coming out like we're fireworks
Marching on proud
Turn it up loud
'Cause now we know what we're worth

We know we can make it we're not falling under
Close my eyes and feel my chest beating like thunder

I wanna fly
Come alive
Watch me shine
- Finally Free -

♫♫♫♫
Shout, shout
C'mon and let it out, out
Don't gotta hide it
Let your colors blind their eyes
Be who you are, no compromise

Thanks for the thread. The OP is lovely.

[My Kind Of Crazy]

thanks for starting this

[Artemis]

I've had threads like this on Pretty Little Liars and Runaways, and it's great community atmosphere.

Especially since we have canon queer characters. and none of the mains are straight.

[gold-steps]

Thanks for starting this! It's always great to see canon queer characters.

[meraki]

^I agree. And I think we really need them in all of the shows now.

[fall into your smile]

Yay for this thread!

[meraki]

It is always good to have a thread like this.

[Artemis]

Yeah, I think it's important to show our members the support they might need and know this is a safe place to talk and share.

Those are so cute.

[Artemis]

So Cute. And such a good representation of the boys. Even though only Alex's is canon, the other three (Julie is Bi, Reggie is Bi, and Luke is Pan) makes sense.

[gold-steps]

That art is awesome!

[Artemis]

The art captures the essence of the characters well!
