Community Name Poll

[soc_puppet]

I personally still like Inclusionists, Inc, but we've had some folks who aren't as fond of it, and I wanted to open the floor to other ideas. Most suggestions so far have been variations on Inclusionists, Inc, but I've also come up with some of my own just to cover the bases better. I personally would love to keep some form or reference to "inclusionists" in the name, just to be extra explicit about what this community is meant to be, but I wouldn't have included the other options if I didn't think they'd work, too.

I've picked ticky boxes so you can vote for as many or as few as you want; you can also put more than one suggestion into the text, if you have several ideas. The results will be available to everyone, but no one, not even me, will have access to who voted for what.

Polls made by Dreamwidth are only open to registered users. I'm not sure if this means folks with OpenID accounts or not. I thought about using a different platform to host the poll, but ultimately it'll be Dreamwidth users who make up the community, so those are the opinions I most want; Dreamwidth account creation is free, and if you don't already have one, making one would communicate to me in a big way just how much you want this community to be a thing. I'm currently planning to keep the poll open for at least a week, possibly as many as ten days, so there's plenty of time to decide if you want to make an account or to change your mind about anything - and also plenty of time for me to change my mind and offer the poll on a different platform, as well. You are well within your rights to request I do so! I'll make a public post announcing a few days before I close the poll.

Comments are open to everyone, so if you want to make a case for a given name, or suggest more than the form will let you, or go into detail on any of your decisions, or just about anything else, you are welcome to do so! Anonymous comments are also on, with a text-based Captcha whose answers should be easy to find in a search if you need to. Yes, this means you can submit a vote in the comments if you don't have or want to create a Dreamwidth account.

Is that everything? I think that's everything. Anyway, vote!

Edit: The poll is now closed! (I mean, you can probably still vote on it, but I'm not going to be paying it much attention.) The community is now open at queerly_beloved :)

(I am happy to play with words but can do that all day and please don't let it stop you from calling it what you want)

[soc_puppet]

(*hearts* I mean, looks like it's probably going to be Inclusionists, Inc anyway, with Queerly Beloved as a possible subtitle, but I do appreciate you saying so.)

Hiya! I just toddled over from aegipan-omnicorn.

I confess I chose "Queerly Beloved" because I'm a sucker for puns, and "All Together Now" because I grew up listening to the Beatles.

[soc_puppet]

Hello and welcome :D

You are in good company on the puns factor ;) I've been wanting to use the Queerly Beloved pun on something for ages, and it's looking like this'll be the one!

All Together Now came more from my personal experience in musical groups (orchestra growing up, and the local queer chorus for a few years after I graduated), but that's also a good association :)

[capri0mni]

heh!

Another reason I like "Queerly Beloved" is that those REGs get their panties in a real tight bunch over "queer," so putting it in the title of the comm is as clear as you could get that this is not the community for them.

(Also, I'm physically disabled, and "queer" has as much history as a word aimed at disabled people as it has a MOGAI people).

[soc_puppet]

Yes good! Anything that'll help communicate that this is not the community for them.

(As a neurodivergent person myself, I am so here for that intersectionality.)

[capri0mni]

Nod.

And here's a quote I posted on Tumblr, recently about just that intersection -- about how our society treats disabled at the same time as having any opinion at all about sex as inherently queer.
