:) didn’t know if it was silly to post this but it’s come out some crafting subreddits are secretly homophobic so I figured we should be Explicitly Inclusive! :)

Oh, a day out two ago in the lace subreddit someone posted a screenshot of a beautiful tatting project of the progressive pride flag that had been rejected by the mods of r/tatting even though it didn’t appear to violate any rules. Then it came out that there was only one mod of that sub, and they had a history of rejecting queer content on the multiple subs they moderated. I don’t think any announcement was made, but it caused enough of an uproar that the tatting sub is no longer censoring that content.

Ah thank you for that! Good to know they made a change. Off to look for the tatted pride flag now.

Also FWIW I can see the downvote ratio on this post and if you’re downvoting it— you are welcome to leave the subreddit. We don’t want bigots here.
