LGBT owned businesses can accept and advertise accepting Bitcoin as a payment option.

This thread is gay.
Why should bitcoin have to do with sexuality at all?
If queers want to use bitcoin, then queers will use bitcoin. But I don't want any sort of association whereby when one thinks "bitcoin" one thinks "gay" and vice-versa.

Perhaps Bitcoin can make it easier to get marriage out of the government's hands.
That way at least marriage could be equal.
By getting marriage out of government's hands, I mean two people having a contractual relationship for their monetary relationship (ie replacing the marriage "license") with things like multi sig encryption where the two people control the money.

Convince the gays in West Hollywood to take it in the butt for bitcoin - that should do it.

I also think this current young generation, just needs to wait for the old people to croak and die. If they put it into bitcoin before they die, there is no inheritance or estate taxes, just sales tax or capital gains one wishes to give to their heirs

Maybe someone can comment on particular gay rights organizations who do good work that I can contact about accepting btc donations?
I'm not familiar enough with any of them to recommend one but I'm sure Bitcoin100 would be willing to donate $1000 to a reputable organization willing to put up a bitcoin donation option on their website.

A vision flashed before me:
You walk into a dingy bathroom and notice a crude hole cut into the wall at about waist height. Scrawled just above this hole in barely legible print are the words, "For a good time point your miner to 1FWzsfKbQijhL7R7AZhg1oumsfTTBD7iVS"

Ok.. serious answer.
I think there is a link between what Bitcoin is trying to achieve and the 'gay community'.
Whenever I see the 'gay community' fighting their corner, its frustrating because I wonder that they would they would do better fighting from majority rather than fighting from niche. Everyone needs friction and a rush of dopamine and how.they.get.that.should.not.matter.to.other.people.
If they instead were to fight for "sexual freedom" widely, they'd have more success engaging the majority and that would then lend itself to a more interesting and more important problem of people being selfish to one another; of people imposing their will on one another, which in turn lends itself to bigger questions about our economies's and our militaries' behaviour.
So the parallel then with what Bitcoin is trying to achieve is with the arguement that people should not be selfish - they should not inflict their stupidity on other people. We should have an economy and a money that reflect those values and Bitcoin is a good option for that then, avoiding third party interference in what we want to spend our money on and with whom.

I think brothels should start accepting bitcoins and in gay communities they should sell their ass for bitcoins.

I think the protocol may be useful for voting in the future.
Bitcoin helps eliminate money from society. That would solve a myriad of issues.

This is a serious question.
Bitcoin needs to be attached to more positive things.
How could btc be used to directly benefit the gay community? How could btc lead the way in this area of civil rights?
Let's try and keep this thread positive please. If you have issues with gays, this is not the place to have those discussions.
