In the next two weeks, you'll start
seeing more formal announcements.

I'm also going to need a few helpers.

Over the last month, I've been taking a more active public role to help grow and organize the LGBT+ community on here. Some things that have already been completed:

More active curating LGBT related tags (which I have seen some other users of varying SP doing as well...thank you!)
I delegated 500 SP each to two minnows to help curate these tags
Today is the LAST day to enter to win one of two 500 SP delegation for LGBT related curation

While I don't have any hard statistics, it has seemed to me that there's been an increase in posting into LGBT, LGBTQ and Transgender tags...along with some absolutely fantastic content! I have also seen some other higher SP users getting votes in these categories too! I wanted to thank everybody that's taking part in this whether reader, writer, supporter, discussion make, etc!

I am only one person though and have rather limited time...so I am needing the help of others as we try to grow the LGBT+ community here!

What's Coming Next?
What Help is Needed?

I'll keep this brief...over the next two weeks I'm going to be doing and looking for helpers in the following:

A new #LGBT room now exists in Steemit.Chat for posts that have at least one LGBT related tag on them. I want this as a place for LGBT+ (including allies) related link promotion as well as for any general discussions people might want to have.
- I will be in need of at least 1-2 people to moderate this channel! Literally anything that isn't moderated quickly degenerates into a promo link spam room.
A new LGBT Discord server for LGBT+ (and allies). This would provide a little more of a 'home base' that we could all meet, organize, etc.
- Just like the chat channel...I'm need one or two people to also play moderator here AND ideally help with some of the actual organization of channels, goals, outreach, etc.
- I want to start LGBT+ related events. I'm open to what exactly this would be and actually do...but I'd like to see a gathering in some form periodically. These things always take manpower to put together and implement.
Lastly, I want to have a weekly curation post put together of the top LGBT+ related posts found, especially those higher quality works with lower payouts.
- I'm need one person to take the lead on collecting, deciding and publishing these 'curated' posts. This can be organized various ways, but here at the start...I just want to see it happen and we can refine things as we go along.
