Hey, ah... Vision - I mean, Jonas - of the Young Avengers got sent home. Sorry, if you knew him.

[Why is he always full of bad news? Ugh... let’s try to be less depressing for a while.]

There’s something else I wanted to talk about today: since I got here almost a year ago I’ve noticed how there’s this huge range of cultural norms across the multiverse- which makes sense, different worlds have different standards, I get it. People who are accepted in one world aren’t tolerated in another. Luceti’s kind of an anomaly, where there’s really not much, if any prejudice. I mean, there’s the whole Malnosso versus Us mentality, but that’s because of what they do, not what they are. Basically what I’m saying is that I think that’s great, and I want to do my part to keep encouraging that universal acceptance here for the people who might not be able to get it back where they come from, open up discussions to people who might not be sure about who or what they are, um...

Okay, this is a really roundabout way of saying I want to start an LGBT club. If you don’t know what that means, here’s a breakdown:

[Below is a jotted list-

L = Lesbian = girls attracted to girls
G = Gay = guys attracted to guys
B = Bisexual = guys and girls attracted to BOTH guys and girls
T = Transgender = People who feel like they were born in the body of the wrong gender (or genderfluid)
*Q = Questioning = Anyone not sure about the above or if they apply

And then it returns to voice.]


Those are really oversimplified, and there's still a lot of other words people use to define themselves, but you get the gist of it. I’d really like to meet up with anyone who matches any those descriptions, or feels like they might, or are just curious about it. I’m gonna put up some posters with suggested meeting times and places, but if you have any questions or just want to talk about it, you can use the journal (it’s okay to be anonymous!) or come right to the school. I’ve got a table set up and I’ll be here pretty much all day. I don't know if this is going to go anywhere, but it's worth a shot, right?

One last thing- we’re looking to make this a safe place, so if you plan to come just to make fun of people: we have a Hulk.

[And true to his word, Billy will be at the school, curled up in a chair at a plain table littered with papers. He’s designing posters and doodling various symbols to use for logos. Come bother him if you like?]

Maybe!

It might have been that we just didn't need it in Alma Kinan. It's not as though we needed any way to differentiate such relationships from ones with men. If you were with someone there, it was kind of assumed you meant another woman.

Wellll... I'm not sure how applicable that would be to a whole world, considering the reason why we didn't need to differentiate is because there aren't any men there. Still, I do hope your own world can get there someday, for everyone.

In Alma Kinan? No. We don't allow men to live there. There are men other places, though.

An Amazon village? Hmm, well... I don't know what an Amazon is, so I can't quite say.

We've helped men who have done that before. Usually those who truly need our help aren't there by chance, so they don't have to worry. If they're merely lost in the woods, though, well...

That really depends on who's patrol comes across them first, I guess.

Mmhm.

But it really only becomes a problem when people from outside the Grasslands come snooping around. The other Grassland clans know better, so it doesn't happen all that often.

Oh, it isn't that there's anything wrong with them, only that they don't understand. Many will believe all sorts of silly rumors about a hidden village, like that there might be treasure to find or that sort of thing.
