Gayorzea - LGBT Discord server for FFXIV players

Hey everyone!

Gayorzea is a friendly & welcoming partnered Discord community for LGBTQ FFXIV players. We've been around now for 2 years & have thousands of members from every datacenter.

We support LGBTQ artists & streamers & it's also a great place to be part of if you're looking for LGBTQ linkshells or Free Companies or even an in-game partner. If you just want to come hang out with & chat to people like you away from the toxicity that we often have to face elsewhere in online gaming, then it's a place for you to call home too.

aaaaand if you're not part of the LGBTQ community but want to share your support for us, then you're also very welcome, come say hi!

Oh, and finally, we're supported by Ser Aymeric, the bot if you're familiar with him, so you'll be able to use his great features in there too!

Thanks & Hope to see ya there!

I kind of have to side-eye it though, considering how often things are labeled as LGBT but are mainly only gay people, ones that are usually very transphobic.

For a start i can assure you we have at least one trans admin (me!), and a bunch of trans peeps on the server. Members have previously remarked how surprised they were at how trans-friendly it was.

Seconded, can't say I'm LGBT but you deserve success based on the name alone. Good luck!

Okay, well that's good. Carry on then.

I understand that the name is meant to be funny, but it's easy for it to be viewed negatively by many. This being said, I wish you good luck.

I can see where someone might use a name like that negatively. In this case though it happens to be attached to a great community with friendly people, fun events, and a really fun chat bot that pretty much does everything. Did anyone mention the fatcat emoji?

It's very often used as an insult by the non LGTB community so I think that's where the negative connotation comes from. Also depending on who you talk to the term 'gay' carries a sort of stigma.

(I feel the need to clarify I'm not trying to offend anyone by making this post, nor am I saying that all of the non LGTB community is negative like that, just making observations.)

I used (long long ago) to use homosexual (like heterosexual) because I thought gay was a slur then I moved to the west with a fair number more in my schools, all liked using gay.

I really like people who can handle a joke/burn on themselves and embrace who they are without shame. They did so well with gay, at least how I saw it, that it's now an okay / good way to address the preference. I mean it takes a special ability to do it, people using ciswhite male like I should hate myself is still annoying to me but perhaps I should take a page out of the book and be like "yeah come at me, I'm happy with myself I'm not ashamed to be me".

So, rock on Gayorzea :)
