Good evening, Lemmy,

I recently got into Insane Clown Posse and, as a result, into Juggalo culture. Since acceptance, respect, and support are such important ideals among Juggalos, I was wondering:

Are Juggalos, therefore, allies of the LGBTQ+ community?

Since I live in Germany and have yet to meet someone who even likes ICP in my country, I have basically zero contact with Juggalos. So, everything I know comes from what I’ve read online, and I was wondering how this translates into real life.

    Juggalos are a subculture of people who feel ostracized and such, are generally VERY welcoming to people deemed “lesser” by the world. It’s a community that celebrates being yourself. If you’re not hurting anyone, you do you!

    I think it’s kind of beautiful even though the music is not for me.

      The right-wing man-o-sphere is also full of young men who’ve been ostracized so it could go either way on this point alone.
