The Safe Zone Project: Mission Statement: The aim of the Safe Zone project is to help maintain and promote safe environments for people of all sexualities to enjoy themselves within the Gaian terms of service without fear of harassment, exclusion, or alienation. The participating threads are asked to denote their status as a Safe Zone by placing one of the official stickers given in post three of this thread on their first page as indicated. You are also asked to do whatever you deem necessary to maintain a safe haven for people to be themselves whether straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, trangender, or questioning without fear of being ostracized. Further details will be posted as this project develops. Kaldorei I haven't seen anything like this implemented on the forums, and it may add to the "roleplaying experience" so it may be worth a try. At my school, we have what are called "SafeZones", which are businesses and/or organizations who wish to maintain a tolerant and safe atmosphere where people can be themselves, regardless of their sexuality or gender identity, without fear of discrimination. Essentially, an establishment that maintains itself as a "SafeZone" places a special sticker on their front door or window saying so. Since there seem to be so many minishops as well as role-playing bars/pubs/businesses within the Gaia Commerce forum, I figured we could make a SafeZone sticker of our own. The business would undergo a short application process, then attach the SafeZone banner (which also happens to link to our guild) to their first page, and in return we post their business within a list of SafeZone sponsors for their advertisement purposes. This way, we get our name out there while advertising their businesses and promoting an aware and respectful environment all at the same time. The above quote, I believe, completely describes Kaldorei's intentions. I'm glad to say that we have finally decided to act upon his idea, having created a sticker for the minishops and businesses to post in their thread. We hope to get many new members as well as create many healthy environments in Gaia where people don't have to be afraid to freely talk about their sexuality/gender identity. Please note:You do not have to be a member of the guild to be a SafeZone! Anyone can apply and will most likely be accepted.

I will think of a way to advertise this better when I can think clearly.
Right now my life is a sea of work, commissions (gaian and real), designing my webpage, and preparing for my travels in August.

It is a great idea and I have a idea- what about a variation for people to use in their signatures, a kind of GLBT? it's cool with me deal. Maybe a banner that links to a good GLBT resouce site like GLSEN or P-FLAG.
