Hello everyone,
Sorry if i'm in the wrong section of the forum.
i'm unfortunately experiencing homophobia in the game :
- the gym near my house was renamed in a awful and homophobic way
- pokemons / trainers added in the gym have offensive nicknames.
This all against me since i am gay and i live with my husband.
I’ve contacted Niantic support through the app.
What more can I do ?
🚩Update 1 : the answer from Niantic ... really ?? You can be insulted and offended because of your skin color or your **** orientation and not taken seriously? OMG
Hello Trainer,
Thank you for contacting Pokémon GO support.
I see that you're trying to report an in-game location. Please reach out to our dedicated team using the following link and they will be able to assist you accordingly:

If you have any questions, write to us.
🚩Update 2 : I filled the form and hit an answer : I should do it manually using the gym three dots. Well very disappointed and hurt. What’s worse the insults or Niantic behavior ?

Thats massive harrasment and should definately get reported. For the report, it would be good to know the title of the gym and also the location. The rest will get done by the Niantic team.
@NianticCasey-ING @NianticGiffard please take a look on this report.
ok, thanks for sharing. I hope that a moderator will see this discussion soon. Now, you only have to wait.
Hi there,
Thanks for the report. I’ll take these details to the abuse team and have them review the situation.
thank you. Of course i dont want the gymto be deleted, just the title changed and the person who did that should be punished.
Thanks
According to Google Translate, Tente is a French term can be translated three different ways: Aunt, Queen, and ****. Of the three, I think the middle one is the intended translation.
queen is a bit soft, in french tante has a really pejorative meaning
