I've been on Hive for a few months now and continue to be blown away by the diversity, the community, and the quality of content present on the platform.
As a transgender person, I often seek out other LGBTQIA+ folks to follow on social media. In more conventional social media spaces, there are well established LGBTQIA+ communities. Some great. Some with room for improvement.
On Hive, I've not yet found that level of community organization, so I've done two things to help push that along here.

What you're reading about right now is the community I've started on Hive. While there are other communities I've found, they seem to have limited interaction and posting happening.
My intent with Prism is to have a space to consistently post my own LGBTQIA+ focused content as well as to curate and encourage other LGBTQIA+ creators. I figured I could do this better as an admin of a community.
As an entrepreneur myself, where content creation has been an important part of my offline business for many years, I've decided to make Hive a major part of my content creation strategy going forward for all personal and professional endeavors. So I plan on putting in a fair amount of work here for the community.
I started playing Splinterlands before getting active on the social end of Hive. And again, I had a hard time finding other LGBTQIA+ folks in that community. It's not that they aren't there. Statistically speaking, we're everywhere. But in many other games I've played there have been productive guilds focused on providing a good experience and game progression for LGBTQIA+ folks.
I started the Prism Legion Guild on Splinterlands to help provide that as well. The intent is to help LGBTQIA+ folks who are new to Splinterlands not only progress, but to support each other and make the most of what Splinterlands has to offer from an entertainment and a play to earn standpoint.
Where we, as a community, can organize and help each other in other Hive or play to earn games, I hope to encourage that as well.
I chose the name Prism for both the guild and the Hive community for a couple of reasons, some may become more apparent as either or both projects grow. We'll see. But I believe that a strong community of LGBTQIA+ folks is important for both games and social media, and whatever entry point one has into the greater HIVE ecosystem, I'm hoping to be able to expose them to more that the ecosystem has to offer by having a familiar and comfortable "home base" so to speak.
This is just the beginning. Please feel free to share your LGBTQIA+ empowering content here in the community.
