What I don’t understand is how .people doesn’t fulfill this need already.

Because .people is still hetero-assumed. Just like every other group in the
entirety of LUGNET. It’s the same reason why we have Black History Month,
Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Secretary’s Day, when every day of the year is
about whites, kids, and bosses.

And where else is there a group that caters to “like-minded” people? There
are groups that cater to common interests, but I wouldn’t call that
“like-minded”.

What exactly do you see as a distinction there? If the LGBT segment of this
community decides to form a formal organization, what makes them less
priviledged than ILTCO, SciBrick, and GLUG? None of those are geographically
based (well, unless you count “the world” as a geographic limiter for ILTCO).
| |
Will there then be a need for .people.glbt.trains, .people.glbt.space, etc?
|
I very much doubt there will be either need or call for a duplication of any
other theme-based topics as a subgroup of ?.LGBT. All they’ve asked for is a
tiny little corner of LUGNET to call their own, not a complete parallel
organization.

The whole thing doesn’t make sense to me.
|
It helps if you learn to think of them as people, not Sinners™.
