A List of OS LGBT+ Focused Places.
Perhaps, foremost, this groups serves our members as a refuge, and place to form connections and community. But the group is not just social. I hope it will be action-oriented. I'd like to help LGBT+ Focused places survive and thrive. We will also help promote LGBT+ Friendly places.

What is the difference between focused and friendly? LGBT+ Friendly places serve as friends and allies to the LGBT+ community. LGBT+ Focused places are intended to serve the LGBT+ community, but generally, are also open to all.

Many places that aim to be a gathering place have difficulty surviving in OS. But LGBT+ Focused places seem to have the hardest time of all. Most are listed by OSW as off-line, from anywhere between one month to seven years.

Here is a list of list of OS LGBT+ focused places that I found listed as on-line at the time of my search. I used the search terms “Gay”, “Lesbian”, “Shemale”, and “Trans” The information on the list includes Name / When Listed on OSW / Traffic Rate /Owner / URL / NOTE. They are listed in order of traffic rank. Most have dance clubs. (We could plan a Safari-style tour event at places without dance clubs).

Updated and ready to go, this beautiful palace is on display here at Star Jinn Palisade Mall and it's full perm, free and waiting just for you. Done in a fashion reminiscent of ancient Persian architecture, it has a light, airy feel and a roof top pool. This enchanting palace is a must see and maybe even a must have for your region! Stop in and see it for yourself. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A change of schedule is going into effect for this week's event at the Players Club. Dj Tom will be moving his next event to May 31st, Friday. Thank you, for understanding in advance.

The inverted pink triangle, surrounded by a green circle symbolizing universal acceptance, was introduced at anti-homophobia workshops from the Gay & Lesbian Urban Explorers in 1989. You may want to use this image at your place to show its a space free from homophobia and to indicate your alliance with gay rights. You can get a copy at the Xinashi landing zone. grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Xinashi

Please help distribute the sign by setting it for sale and full perm. Let me know if you display this, and I'll add your place to a list of LGBT-friendly places. Not sure how we can use the list. Let's make a list of ways to use the list!

So, my grand plans for the Alliance. Let me know what you think.

The group description says that we work at "identifying and promoting places that celebrate pride, individuality, and diversity"

Identifying LGBT-Focused Places
• Use "region search" to find places with, for example, "gay" in their name/description.
• Call on our own and friends knowledge of such places.
• Put up a front-page post asking that owners of LGBT-focused places contact us.

Promoting - Plan A
Our main effort would be to help promote LGBT-focused places. We would rotate monthly events among them. Think of the Safari tours, but with a single destination each month. To be selected, these places would need to commit to cross-promoting Alliance events.

Promoting - Plan B
The aim is to create a community of LGBT-focused places that support one another. I've been cautioned that there are factions, politics and competition among them. So Plan B is to do Safari-like tours of LGBT-friendly places as well as any LGBT-focused place that agree to take part.

While there is a Plan and a Plan B, plan B would be easier to implement first. That means finding a good mix of LGBT-friendly and LGBT-focused places for Alliance events

The problem is that there are so many LGBT-friendly places (What a nice problem to have!) How do we go about picking which, and in which order, for monthly events that rotate among them? It makes sense to me to pick group member places first.

In addition, I'd like to have an annual fund-raising event for a group-selected organization that helps the LGBT community.

More to come.

Great group, there is no room for hate, anywhere. Love is all there is :D Out and proud here, Lesbian cis older lady. Quite a few people already know me here lol. I'm honestly surprised to see any hate in OS as OS, and online in general has always been very inclusive in my experience. So its good to see everyone coming together here to say NO to that sort of nonsense.

In the early days of the Gay Pride movement, as it was called then, I heard a man ask, "What do the gays do that they are so proud of?" He was suggesting that what defined gay people was simply their sexual behavior, and that behavior was unnatural and repulsive. Yet studies have found that 82.2% of women and 82.7% of men have had oral sex with an opposite-sex partner. And 35.1% of women and 38.1% of men have had anal sex with an opposite-sex partner. That guy, and people like him, need to be hating on a whole lot more people it seems.

But I didn't tell him that. What I said was that "Gay people are proud of surviving, and continuing to strive to be with those they love, despite the vile hatred of people like you." There have been 55 years of Pride Parades, and almost 10 years of nationwide legal same-sex marriage in the U.S.. But the struggle is not yet over -- in the world or in-world. So, thanks for being part of the Love Is Love Alliance.

Very happy to announce The Roleplay Grid is now accessible for Zetaworlds, to and from.

Please check out our new website at https://www.theroleplaygrid.net and consider joining our Grid :)

Work in progress, obviously, but lots more coming.


Big thanks to Zetaworlds for allowing access now.

How to copy your friends from one seriously borked installation to a new fresh installation. First download and run mysqlworkbench. Run the seriously fubarred dreamgrid, and use mysqlworkbench to connect to it. Under databases select the friends table. Enter an sql query like this one: select * from robust.friends; then next a table is generated of all your friends. Click the export button to save this table to your hard disk. Close down the fubarred dreamgrid. Run the new dreamgrid installation. Open wordpad and change your old key in the friends.cvs to your new key in the new installation, search & replace all instances. Now with mysqlworkbench opened IMPORT the saved friends.cvs into the new dreamgrid installation and restart it.

I finally got my OS avatar how I would like her to look, I'm really happy with the results! It was quite the learning process as quite a few things have to be done differently than they are on SL, but it was a lot of fun. Now I need to make a lot of outfits for her!

Bonjour à tous, au cas où vous n'auriez pas lu cette annonce dans FrancoGrid Group sur Facebook, datée du 9 mai, de Reynald Melloni :
Bonjour à tous je me permet se post.
Pour vous annoncer le décès de mon (notre amis pour certains) Ami Fabrice
Live Open Scene il est parti ..hier ,

Link: https://medium.com/@starchildkin/starchild-kin-on-the-orde...
===Starchild Kin: On the Order of Celestials===
‘…the humans inquire about the Hierarchy of Angels, as they call us. They have conceived a hierarchy of what they call choirs, which does not seem inappropriate, for there is a First Song, that is also the Last...'
'...And from the First Song, that is the Last, the Song without Sound, condensing like pearls of harmonic melody, came the Seraphim, falling like rain upon the mountain, and they Sang to the Song, and there was Harmony....'
[The fragment below is a continuation of the prologue to the background story of the Starchild family at Darkheart’s Playground grid in OpenSimulator and the future development of a HUD (akin to Bloodlines in Second Life) that will foster a roleplay of vampires, demons, angels, and other races.]
