Well...this is awkward...

Let's make a "hypothetical" situation. Let's say, I'm a white, Christian, conservative, straight male. And how about we say I support Trump. I am in no way racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc. I know I should stay silent about this, but will I be banned from the message boards for saying this? Only one way to find out...

Hi Bobby,

So, here's the thing: if you were to come to the boards with a question about sex, relationships, bodies, or any of the other topics that are our focus area, we would answer that question. Political alignment does not automatically bar you from getting help and support here.

But if you were, say, to make a post repeating the sentiments of the candidate you support (meaning any sentiment that treats another human being as less than, or any sentiment that implying that woman, LGBTQ folks, immigrants, POC, or disabled folks deserve to have their rights or safety violated) then that in all likelihood would result in a ban. That has less to do with you being a Trump supporter and more to do with the fact that we have not, and never will, tolerate that kind of speech on these boards.
