THE GAYISM COMMUNITY
Welcome! We are a place where kings, queens, and royals can shine and feel at home.
About Us
Welcome to gay!™️ At the Gayism Community, we have created a safe space across multiple platforms for LGBTQ+ people, supporters, and allies. We're also a big ball of chaos, so expect anything out of the ordinary.Our community started on the app Wattpad, in response to a strange message a user had posted. They had called the act of being LGBTQ+ "gayism" and we found it so funny that we decided to make a whole new account to show how great of a community we are. Now, we've accumulated a Discord server of over a hundred members, and have spread to other platforms including Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. We hope to create a place where anyone can come and feel welcomed.
You will write injustice on the earth, we will write revolution in the sky.

Ongoing Events and Projects
The Gayism Awards 2.0
Our second edition of our Wattpad Gayism Awards, and the third awards contest we've hosted. Got a story centered an LGBTQ+ character? Come enter it into our contest!
WLW book awards
This is our second book awards hosted by the Wattpad admins. In this book contest, we are focusing on the WLW aspect of LGBTQ+ books. WLW, or women loving women, includes lesbian, bisexual, and other identities with femme-aligned people attracted to other femme-aligned people. So if you have a WLW-focused book, come enter it into this mini awards!
Our Discord Server
Discord isn't where our community started, but it's certainly where our community is the most active. With 30 open channels (more if you have special roles!), 6 voice chat channels, custom emojis, friendly members, and even bilingual admins, this has proven to be a comfortable, safe space for more than 100 people. Come be a part of our ever-growing server! We would love to have you.
TGC's Graphic Shop
Welcome to Gayism's graphic shop! This always-open shop contains a multitude of graphic designers who offer you their services for free! Our designers make anything from book covers, to character aesthetics, to even Netflix Original mockups for your book or project! Simply decide which designer you'd like to have make your graphic, put in a request by filling out a form, and complete the payment of the designer's choice -- usually a follow to their profile. We always have at least one designer available, so come take a look!
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.

We Need Your Help!
The Gayism Community needs your help to organize a giveaway!
Many trans adolescents throughout the world are unable to buy binders for a plethora of reasons - transphobic families, financial issues, unawareness, and accessibility are just a few reasons. When they are unable to get a binder, it can lead to mental and physical health problems, such as dysphoria and dangerous methods of self-binding. We want to give a few randomly selected winners the chance to get their own binder, and we need help to raise enough money for this! Binders typically cost 50 CAD or more, but anything counts! Even donating a small amount to our 250 dollar GoFundMe goal will help teens in the server get the binders that they need. If you haven't already, make sure to join the server yourself for the chance to win. Click the link below to help us out!

Other Places to Find Us
We are slowly widening our range of social media platforms and testing out other ways of communicating. Here are the other platforms to find us on!
The only way that we can live is if we grow. The only way we can grow is if we change. The only way we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we are exposed is if we throw ourselves into the open.
