Discussing Riley’s situ

Discussing Riley’s situation. 

Riley is one of my AE’s as you may know. I’ve been debating making this thread because I don’t know what y’all’s beliefs are but this is basically Riley’s coming out thread. So yeah, I guess that’s that. Riley is gay. :)

Okay, so my AEs are sometimes straight and sometimes gay and hopefully I'm allowed to say this...

I can already see what's happening here.

Please be aware that the Admins have nothing against diversity. They just don't like the use of certain words, and they don't allow heavy romance or too much talk of romance. This site is for kids, and people as young as nine years old read Cricket, so centering certain things around romance isn't good for them.

Straight or lgbtq+, the same rule applies.

I understand what you're saying, and i think it's still important to have characters, AEs, or whatever of different identities, even if this is a site intended to be for younger kids. Of course, romance shouldn't be the center of anything on this site, but mentioning a character's identity and having a same-gender crush should still be allowed.

Calm down, Muriel, I’m too tired for your energy.

Thanks for trusting us, Riley :)
