I am planning on making an international version with just one partner at this time :) Hope you all join.

International Version

What an awesomely unique idea @Rubyfreckles Shame there isnt a way to pair up LGBT with non-LGBT so that the "otherside" (lol) can get to know us better and we could help kill some myths and misconceptions.

But this is a great idea--and I look forward to writing and reading.

I know NurseKelly... I debated between just making it a LGBT-friendly swap.... or just LBGT, but I figured making it more specific this time would be okay... I can always do a "friendly" version later. Or if anyone has any other simple swap ideas.... lemme know.

For those who don't know, LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender.

If you don't know what it means, you probably don't meet the requirements for the swap :)

Rubyfreckles, This is AN OUTSTANDING IDEA! I do not actually 'qualify' for this Swap, but if you host a 'friendly' version, I'm in.

Thanks for the explanation! I had LGB figured out, but was puzzled over the T.

Aww, I'm LGBT friendly. I've joined a swap in the past for LGBT friendly penpals. I'm still in contact with 2 of my 4 partners! I was then only "friendly" one, the other 3 were LGBT. I hope you do a friendly one!
