How does the AberGays Society create a safe and inclusive space for its members?

The AberGays society has regular meetings where we play games or have a crafts night or similar. Which are a safe space for members to meet people. The online discord is kept safe through active moderation.

Can you share a personal story of empowerment or growth that you attribute to your involvement in the AberGays Society?

The Abergays society being an open and accepting space was part of the reason I realized I was transgender. Having a space where I could comfortably be myself and also experiment was very helpful in discovering myself.
