LGBTQ+ community in America has suffered a lot, but it was also fortunate enough to be part of historical places like Stonewall Inn, The site of the 1969 Stonewall riots; Church of the Holy Apostles in Chelsea, one of the most important meeting places in New York City for LGBTQ+ organizations and individuals of the early post-Stonewall era, and Jackson Memorial Hospital, the first county-supported organization in the United States to help HIV/AIDS patients. These places shaped LGBTQ+ history in the times when a physical space was needed for the queer community to share thoughts, connect with each other, and make a difference. But, in present America, these places have been replaced by online platforms, and one of the most effective platforms for taking the temperature of the gay community is Reddit and its ‘Ask Gay Bros’ community. Ask Gay Bros was created over a decade ago, on November 2, 2012, on Reddit and it has now become a community of almost half a million members, 414k to be precise. Ask Gay Bros is a place where anyone can ask gay manly men for their opinions on various topics. Advice. AskReddit style questions. Ask Me Anything questions. And Everything in between. The discussions taking place within this community and its impact are no longer limited to its members. Known magazines and Newspapers across the country like Slate, LGBTQ Nations, and Queerty follow this Reddit community to understand the sentiments of LGBTQ+ people.
