LGBT culture (an acronym, referring to "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender" persons) in VRChat is socially notable and accepted on the platform; including and not limited to people who are genderqueer, and non-binary gender identities, as well as asexual orientations.
Overview
VRChat has been widely regarded as a supportive space for many individuals who are of queer identities, with a significant portion of the user base identifying with various queer identities. Numerous queer communities exist on the platform, one of the most notable being "Trans Academy", a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, which has been recognized and supported by VRChat[1].
LGBT and VRChat
At VRChat's core, VRChat has, since the very beginning, opposed hate speech and intolerance against orientation and gender identity, as an enforceable punishment.
As part of the Quick World Searches keywords, on the Search tab of the Main Menu, there are search terms for 'LGBTQ', as well as 'rainbow'. One of VRChat's Quick Menu clock settings features an "LGBTQ+ clock" option, expressing the clock with a colorful rainbow pattern.
In June 2024, VRChat updated the VRChat Home world to include multiple pride flags as well as messages of support from the staff team and was available until July 8th[2]. VRChat has also made social media posts in 2023[3][4][5] and 2024[6], observing Pride Month and recognizing the LGBT community beyond June.
