I really don't think Teddy was asking for a group in which to hold explicit
sexual discussion.
Of course outside interests have an impact on what you do with your LEGO hobby.
I imagine most of the train guys are fans of real trains. I build a lot of
medieval stuff because I am into history from that era. Doesn't it stand to
reason that being gay would affect what you build with LEGO?
All that aside, Teddy, why not say it with MOCs? There all sorts of stuff you
could do. Dykes on Hoverbikes? Bears of the Caribbean? Or if you have a more
personal story to tell or something you want to educate the LUGNET community
about, why not tell us with LEGO? I, for one, have no idea who "Miss Tallulah"
is or what the "classic invisibility thing" is - but I would be a lot more
interested in learning if it involved LEGO.
Anyway, I have no interest in seeing a group dedicated to non-LEGO talk that
just happens to be about homosexuality. I am very interested in seeing
gay-themed MOCs and gay-themed stories told with LEGO. If a .lavender group
would further that goal, I am all for it.
.off-topic removed from FUT as this doesn't seem off-topic to me.
