Precisely the reason why in my opinion this lgbt newsgroup doesn't belong here.

Agreed.

That's what I intend to do.  I am not scared or offended, mind you.  I
personnally have had gay and lesbian friends and I do not pretend I will never
fall in love with a man, as I accept this possibility for myself (but i'm
presently in love with my wife, so it won't happen soon).  I am open-minded on
these matters and am for the same-sex marriage and same-sex adoption.  I'll
defend any injustices made to lgbt people just as I would for myself, but still,
such a newsgroup is totally irrelevant on Lugnet and it deviates the Lugnet
orientation, which is LEGO topics.

There are newsgroup on the Internet for gays and lesbians, religious people and
pet-lovers, to name a fes examples of things that have nothing to do with LEGO.
We don't need these topics to be included here.

(...) What happens if a gay AFOL posts there about Lego? Probably at least some of the people on those newsgroups will think it's silly to have Lego as a hobby. (22 years ago, 20-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
