Beatus, the suggestion for religious items/pets/anything has already been turned down many many many times. It's likely not going to happen.

The stamp is not promoting homosexuality. It is promoting equality. If you don't support equality for everyone, then don't use the stamp.

To be honest, I resent the implication that a Christian stamp needs to be added to be more "fair", e.g., to make up for or stand in opposition to the stamp that promotes equality for everyone. Please don't let bigots and extremists make you think that Christianity is about hate.

I would like to reiterate my support for more LGBTQA+ stamps - pride flags, and preferred pronoun stamps (including neutral options such as they and hir). We've already made great strides, but let's go all the way and make it clear to our non-heterosexual players that they are welcome c:

I believe Beatus meant "fair" as in everybody being represented, not so there's an "opposition" to the equality stamp. Christianity, and most major religions from what I understand of them, are not about hate; they're supposed to teach the opposite. There are bigots and extremists in everything, but that's not what religion is about, and that's not what I think Beatus meant to imply.

I like that the "human rights" stamp is more or less neutral. Yes, it has a rainbow, but instead of saying something like "I support gay rights," it's designed to cover everything and can be interpreted however you want. I think anything more specific would not be a good idea, since it's bound to cause arguments from the opposition either way.

And, if you want my "two cents" about that stamp, I think the fact that we immediately connect rainbows and equality statements with homosexuality and consider the stamp limited to LGBT rights shows we still have a long way to go. "I support human rights and equality for everything" seems to translate to "I support gay rights" for some people, and while that's part of what the stamp means, the statement is supposed to represent the broader picture: equality for all, meaning as much race equality, gender equality, age equality, etc. as LGBT equality. By associating it specifically with homosexuality, whether "good" or "bad," we can end up losing a lot of what the stamp is supposed to mean.

Can anybody tell me how set the stamps as a signature or like how to have both your signature and your stamp collection displayed? I'm still very confused on how to do that.

After you make your stamp page thingy, there is a button when you are on your profile page that says to use it as your signature. Just click the little box next to that option :) you can't have both your current avatar AND your stamp collection showing in posts, though, only in your profile.

I support these both^^

I simply CANNOT WAIT for any new stamps to be made. I know that editing my stamp collection will be a new obsession for me lol

You can't have your signature and stamp collection displayed together. To display your stamp collection as your signature, go to your profile page and click "Display under forum posts" on your stamp collection and it will appear as your signature. You can disable the display of your stamp collection as a signature by choosing the same option with your signature
