Welcome to /r/queerception, a support community for LGBTQ folks growing their families.

Be aware that the subjects discussed here include things that may be considered TMI in other contexts, but are entirely appropriate here. If you are uncomfortable with frank discussions of intimacy or bodily fluids, this might not be the best fit for you!

To our allies: We understand that others who are not part of the LGBTQ community may also benefit from this discussion, however using phrases when commenting or posting such as "natural" "normal" "turkey baster method," etc. that imply that our methods of conception are unnatural, not normal or gives us any impression of a derogatory view are subject to a strict zero-tolerance policy. If these phrases are used, your post or comment will be immediately deleted and you will be given a warning before being banned. Bargaining or minimizing harmful language will only make matters worse. If you are not part of the LGBTQ community please consider educating yourself on being an ally to our community before participating via comments or posts. Community members are encouraged to help the mods out by reporting these instances so that we can enforce this rule.

Please feel free to [message the mods](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/queerception) with any questions, concerns, suggestions for improvement, or to volunteer to add your knowledge or skills to our growing list of resources.

**Queerception Rules**


1.
Don't be a douche
This should be self-explanatory, but please treat one another with respect. Avoid name-calling, passive aggressive comments, etc.

2.
Don't be a bigot
Posts and comments that promote hate against a group or a person because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, nationality, ethnic or racial background, medical history, etc. will be removed, and the offending users banned.

3.
Avoid slurs
Language is constantly changing and many slurs have been reclaimed; however we want this community to feel safe and supportive for as many people as possible. Try to err on the side of neutral language.

4.
No clutter
No trolling, spamming, proselytizing, click baiting, or advertising. No casting calls. No research studies without prior approval from the moderators.
