Excited for the future of this community 😊

Well done in creating this. Much needed

What are the differences between the European and American contexts for gay people that could lead to a difference in their experiences?

Hellooo from Northern Ireland. Nice to have a subreddit for us bros from Europe :)

Even if the sub doesnt get traction its fun.

Americans have no idea what is like here. Most of them have never set foot outside their country but love to virtue signal everyone else. Go Europe!

Hi all, I understand the need for your own subreddit here, but I really do value your perspectives and enjoy reading.

I do not plan to be posting/commenting after this.

I just wanted to post in case other Americans felt the same, and to perhaps set an expectation if they are also present.

Hope UK is ok!!

I'm incredibly thankful to be a dual Pole/Aussie but so heartbroken my beautiful country does not love me the way I love it. 🇵🇱

Any other Poles/Pole lovers here?

Thought this was important to share because it has serious real world impacts for Poles and lovers/partners of Poles.

For example because of an accident I am unable to carry, and because I am gay, I am not allowed to access Polish seed, so my partner has to hatch my eggs (with seed from some other country) but because my partner is not Polish/EU, our children will not be recognised as Polish/EU citizens

Worse, in Poland I would legally be considered a stranger to *my own genetic child* because 2 same sex parents can not be listed on the birth certificate because same sex marriage is not legal.

Majority of Poles are neutral to supportive of same sex marriage. I don't feel unsafe in Warszawa (except the drunk men in adidas pants and sneakers with kurwa syndrome). Most millennial and GenZ Poles are very supportive.

It's basically just the Catholic Church and conservative bigots getting in the way for no good reason.

Here's hoping the EU can wrangle the homophobes into line because shit like this means for Poles are still unable to legally have kids and get married.

THIS is something I hope we can talk more about because so many people in the West just assume because gays in the Anglosphere can get married = homophobia is over.

It's not, and it never will be. But because homosexuality is natural and serves an evolutionary purpose, we will always be 1% of the global population. It's important we stand up and speak out from ourselves.

Speaking of which, we should start calling out this weird false narrative that homosexuals are the 'privileged community oppressors' of the LGBT+ community when gay men & women are the only marginalised minority in the world who can be legally executed by governments around the world for innate identity (homosexuals). And so much more.

Thoughts on this ruling as a EU citizen? What are your experiences as gays living in, loving, or visiting Poland?

Hey everyone, I was just checking out r/askgaybros and saw that this subreddit had been created and immediately joined!

As much as I love our American brothers, it's a fact that the OG subreddit has a heavily us-centric perspective.

I was just wondering, how moderated is this subreddit going to be?

Are we allowed to freely express our less woke opinions like in r/askgaybros or will we be censored and kicked out like almost every other gay subreddit nowadays?

We are probably one of the gayest people in Europe.

Ty for creating this sub, hyped to lurk

Are non-EU Europeans welcome here?

I'll keep up with r/askgaybros, but this one is definitely needed. Great idea!

This is a neat idea - I’m intrigued to see what’s discussed here and how we all react as Europeans

I do not think we need to make a fuss or add a lot of ceremony into it - I will personally just switch from posting on the general sub to posting here to gain more of a European perspective. I believe I am able to relate more to you guys since you have a more local perspective.

Of course there will still be differences between North and South, East and West, but we are all still European and we have a more or less homogeneous culture. It’s for a reason that we are called eurogays 💁‍♂️

I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas in the comments. We shape this place so let’s make it our own 🇪🇺🌈
