Re: Lavender Brick Society —Marc Nelson, Jr.

(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.org)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —Mike Kollross

(snippage) (...) Just to clarify. I wasn't suggesting that there would be explicit sexual content just content that is sexual in nature and on a site dedicated to a childs toy it would be inappropriate. I am not trying to vilify Teddy or his (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.org)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —Marc Nelson, Jr.

(...) Ruling out explicit sexual images/discussion - what does "content that is sexual in nature" mean? Is (URL) this> sexual in nature? How about (URL) this>? What about their gay equivalents? Marc Nelson Jr. (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.org, FTX)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —Saskia van Doesburg

(...) A gaygroup isn't about sex, it's about understanding eachother and not having to explain everyting. Some people (no one in particular) seem to think homosexuality is about sex. It is not! I think it would be nice to have a GLBT-group. I would (...) (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.org)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —Larry Pieniazek

The Transition Team is discussing this and I hope that some formal statements will be forthcoming, where necessary and appropriate, in due time. Meanwhile I hope everyone can discuss aspects of this calmly and rationally (which in my view everyone (...) (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.org)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —Saskia van Doesburg

I think Kevin has a very good point in his post: [quote] A group like this is useful for the same reason that LGBT concert bands, choirs, softball teams, gardening clubs, book clubs, square dancing groups, churches, RV'er and camping groups, (...)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —David Eaton

(...) Or, really, why we even have things like LUGNET. About 10 years ago I came out of my dark age and had no way of finding like-minded individuals, until I eventually found RTL and LUGNET. The sea of "normal Non-Lego" people is overwhelming. And (...) (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.org)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —Jesse Alan Long

(...) First of all, if you plan on having such a group, do you not know that LEGO HAS made pink as a color in the past? I would think that a homosexual group would at least match the typical homosexual agenda on such a small issue like that on here. (...)

Re: Lavender Brick Society —Keith Goldman
