MODERATORS
The change in venue should help you immensely. So glad to hear you got out of Texas. That's like worst case scenario material.
The place I'm at is very LGBTQ friendly. I'm trying to think back, and I don't think there was ever a group dynamic that didn't include one or more. Every once in awhile someone had to be corrected on pronouns but it was never a big deal.
Fun fact: my spouse (bi) and I are also poly. But I do not bring this fact up much at all. Reason being is that, being an older "taken" cishet male, I'm "safe" in many eyes. I spent 30 some-odd years being the weird kid that people kept their distance from. I've had my fill of people being on their guard around me, and will gladly take being treated like a "normal" person where I can get it lol.
Best of luck to you moving forward. You took steps to up your chances of success. I'm rooting for you 🍻
Yeah, I get that. Single guy who likes to have conversations with kids: Creepy. Married guy who likes to have conversations with kids: Aww! I hate that that is the mentality people have, that single men are creeps. (That being said, it would help if so damned many of them wouldn't send unsolicited dick pics to women on social media.)
And thanks!
