    TBH I was kinda a driving force behind this, because I saw ash's skype status and got curious. I never meant for this to be a divide amongst the community. What I know and have experienced, online and IRL is that talking to someone who isn't like you is hard. They don't fully understand what you are going through. Actually, we used to have a tiny Muslim chat, it was never advertised because its so small (its also died out most of us have left CTF). The idea behind this chat, at least my idea, was so that we can help each other out, talk to people similar to us and who understand what we are feeling. I understand that others are aware of this issue and may be accepting of us, but they don't know what we feel and go through. Please don't take this as a divide, its just a place for this community to hang and chill with people like them. Thanks ^.^

    (BTW I don't identify with the LGBT community (though they're awesome) despite using the word "we" in this paragraph. I just wanted to give the reasoning behind why I thought it would be nice to make this).

    Don't see why people have to get so mad about this when it doesn't even affect them. It's simply a group of people with the same ideas, beliefs, etc. If you want to yell at them, then go yell at churches and book clubs honestly. No need to ruin this.

    Anyways, support to you Ash and the rest of the club, I hope it goes well!

    I was thinking this was a really cool idea until I saw this, and now im just confused
    I mean, don't LGBT groups usually cater to everyone? Even straights, because they could support the community? Maybe they just like being apart of the community? aarrgghh this just made me so confused... It just kinda seems like your casting them out. . . Please excuse me if I took it the wrong way, but I'd just like some confirmation on what you're trying to say here or something, if thats okay

    Allies are extremely important I'm absolutely not denying that but supporting us doesn't make you part of the LGBTQIA+ community (that's not what the A is there for, despite popular belief).

    tip of advice never never never even consider joking about it because there are the people who are cool about being lgbt and then there are the social justice warriors who will be on you like white on rice and its just not a good experience

    Yea, A for Asexual, right? It could probably stand for both ally and asexual ^^
    But most forums i've seen allow straights as well, so I was just confused...
    Or at least, i've seen asexual forums do that. I've seen them be very accepting of everyone into the group..

    edit: edited this edit cuz idk

    Yeah asexual & aromantic; I don't really know how to word this in the best way so I'm just gonna say it: allies/straight people don't belong IN the LGBT community 'cause you don't face the same hardships we do? It's like if a white person supports black rights- that doesn't make the white person PART of the black community right? (Also to clarify since some ppl are misunderstanding me; straight applies to people who are both heteroromantic AND heterosexual therefore asexual/aromantic people still belong)

    please dont assume im straight, I was just stating how i've seen other LGBT groups handle this situation, I guess
    Though the group can be entirely different from others so you know it doesn't really matter anyways, I guess?
    I just found it weird that you openly shut them out

    sorry! i didn't mean you in the direct sense of YOU but as in the general population outside of lgbt; didn't mean to make it sound like assumptions my bad c:

    Edit: If you, or anyone else, wants an even more direct answer as to why I chose to shut them out besides the fact that they're not actually part of the community: It's just to make the people in the group more comfortable. It feels safer. It just does? Even when you know your friends are allies/support you/don't care it still doesn't feel safe to talk about lgbt things around them. Even when people directly ASK me questions about it I still feel like I'm oversharing when I answer. Does that make sense? At least in this one group no one ever has to worry that they might be oversharing, that someone might not be interested in the convo, that someone might think they're being to sensitive, etc.

    Plus 1 for this idea! I actually think that this is great considering you can be around someone who is LGBT+ like you and not feel like that you're that one guy who is weird when everyone else in the call or whatever is straight, though I am not part of the LGBT community, as I'm straight myself. I can totally see the logic in this 100%. And by the way, to the haters out there, why the **** is this your problem? Like wtf did they do to you? Just because they are attracted to another gender or want to be another gender doesn't change you. You're still you. You are the kind of people that start riots and wars. Just stop for best of it.
