And if a gay forum is made, then there better be a heterosexual forum created as

Are you really serious?  Do you seriously feel a need for this one?  I think its
being petty, if you ask me, but if your serious, and would seriously use it,
then it merits discussion.  Get the support and petition the admins.  If you
don't get it because you didn't asked, thoa, it really isn't discrimination.  I
mean, this isn't particle physics where there some conservation of energy
prinicple that says whereever a gay forum exists an specifically non-gay forum
must appear.

I knew someone would have a problem if someone wanted equal treatment and said
then we better have a heterosexual Lego user group.  I wonder why Alfred has no
qualms about asking the heterosexual person if their group is really needed, but
when the reverse is done, we're told we can't understand.  Why would you ask if
its really needed, Al?  Isn't it just being able to be who we are, unashamed (oh
yes, and Lego too - almost forgot that)?

Maybe there are some heterosexuals out there who want to make sure people know
they are straight.  By your comments it is fairly clear that you don't think
this is needed because most people (including yourself) assume LUGNET posters
(unless told otherwise) are heterosexual.  I would point out that is just your
heterosexist worldview poking through here.

Alfred, you just don't get it....

And FYI, I don't think either should exist as separate groups.

(...) I get it. You clearly didn't read what I said. You _might_ be right. There _might_ be people interested in such a hetero discussion group. But why would you assume a group is needed just because a homosexual group is asked for? Neither of you (...)

(...) build.fantasy is a good idea. I would support it. I don't see why Teddy asking for a .people.lgbt is any less legitamate, thoa. Really, Lugnet grows in fits and spurts sometimes, so I guess if you asked before and it wasn't granted, you have a (...)
