I think the counterargument to this is that _all_ the subgroups are for
heterosexuals because we're in the majority.  And the reason that you've gotten
along just fine is that no one thinks you're weird (er...queer).

If LUGNET decides to make a subgroup for gay members, then others will start
asking for more subgroups for every single type of person who's out there
(Catholics, midgets, retired people, Mexicans, blondes, etc, etc, etc...).

Could you possibly support this assertion?  I mean, it's so obviously false that
it's hard to believe that _you_ believe it.  Do you?  And finally, how would
your LUGNET experience be hurt by forming any or all of these groups?
