Always thinking about my next hairstyle.
Just wondering why the Relationships section is limited to male-female relationships only? This forum is progressive on most other social issues. I don't understand the restriction.
43. Same-sex relationships are prohibited from being discussed on this forum.
Because:
08. The owner of this forum is a believer of Christianity, and therefore this site does have elements that support the Christian faith.

Yeah there are a load of folks that don't agree with certain rules and regulations here so chile you ain't alone or a unicorn. You could have done a search on this topic because this isn't the first nor the last time someone has ask this question and said they won't be renewing. I am sure we all throw away 6.50 all kinds a ways so just don't participate in the forums or support the business. Just another lesson to read the fine print before joining or pushing that pay button. Loads of free and paid site are out there. Life ain't fair.
I wanna curse but they block my curse words out. I wanna talk about explicit sex but they don't allow that either. I want to post pictures of nakid menz but they don't allow that either. I want to talk about random stuff but they don't allow random thought threads in off topic cuz it always get nasty, underhanded and messy. Hell I'm a dissatisfied customer too! I want my damn 6.50 back retroactive from 2003! Imma bout to push the red alert button about this ****. I'm calling the better business bureau and 5-0 on this damn establishment. Imma start a revolt and start a petition siht! You see what I had to do to use the ratchet form of the word defecation in my previous sentence?
None of the things you mentioned involve discrimination.
There is nothing that keeps you from talking about your relationship here. I know this because I have seen post from women who talk about their SO who is also a woman. You just don't have a special section for your relationship. There are many areas that don't have special sections for what members want to talk about. It is the way it is. There are people who are non-Christians who will probably never have a section on this board. It is the way it is.
Follow your conscience, if you feel that strongly about it, don't renew. For myself the benefits of the board far outway the restrictions on the board, especially for $6.50.
I think there is a way for you to participate on the board and share what you want to share in a way that still works with the board as it is.
This is a private forum and they are under no obligation to allow us to discuss anything they don't want. That is why I mentioned the rules I don't agree with. Its not discrimination. If you think its discrimination contact the Feds or your Senator so they can stop this nonsense. There are too many other forums that will let us discuss whatever we feel. Well outside of that militant natural hair board. If you mention relaxer or perm you will get your cooch handed to ya on a silver platter. Oh they have loads of alternative lifestyle living women over there. I'm sure you can get your gay, straight or whatever relationship discussion fix over there without feeling restricted or discrimination.None of the things you mentioned involve discrimination.
I'm going by what the rule says "43. Same-sex relationships are prohibited from being discussed on this forum." I don't know how the rule is enforced but the fact that it is there disturbs me.
My hair is not more important to me than personal liberty. I'm grateful for the women on the board and will miss not being able to post or look at pictures, but there are tons of other websites, blogs, vlogs, on the internet.

I am fully aware that the owner of this website has the right to do what he wants. But I don't think it's right to continue to support something you believe to be wrong. As I said, I am neither homosexual nor do I visit the other forums so I would have no reason to discuss it. But I am acutely aware that change only happens when people boycott for the things they believe in. I would hope that when it came to race, my non-black friends would also be supportive in this way and not simply turn a blind eye to it because it doesn't directly affect them. I have learned a lot from this site but do not think my hair care is more important than tolerance.
