I KNOW I should duck out of this now, but I just can't resist not posting something. I'm going to regret it, I know. So... I am a Heterosexual Conservative Catholic. Do I think being gay is a sin? Yes. Do I have gay friends? Yes. Do I preach to gay people that being gay, in my mind, is a sin? No. Never have. Do I think that I'm better than someone who is gay? No. I'm much more a sinner than most, and I'm sure there are gay people who will reach the promised land before me. Do I have a problem with there being a gay newsgroup on Lugnet? No... Providing I can have a straight forum here on Lugnet. Oh, and a .catholic. And a .conservative. And a .trekkie (cause hey, I'm gonna take what I can get). What other interests do I share that happens to affect my building style? Ooh! .tolkien! And don't forget .build.fantasy, and it's sub-theme, .build.fantasy.d&d. After all, if you're going to open Pandora's box, might as well take advantage, its' not like its' going to close back up again. Lugnet.org.dietcoke, cause I don't feel comfortable talking about LEGO with all those Pepsi drinkers around, and the Coke Classic people just freak me out. I'll just be adding the Lavender Brick Society's newsgroup to the skip filter, along with all of the meaningless banter that flows out of Toronto. --Anthony

(...) There is one really significant difference between Teddy's request and these ones you're making. His was genuine. Chris. (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.fun.community, lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.people, lugnet.org)

		Lavender Brick Society
I've been kicking an idea around for a while, and I wanted to put it out to the community: I'd like to start an organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) AFOLs. A lavender brick society, if you like. It's seemed to me that (...)
