Any chance of a straight and non transexual forum?

I think the formula for getting a separate subforum is pretty simple: convince Alex there is a large desire for it, and that it would used. Most of the forums have been set up because Alex thought they were a good idea; it's his sole decision. When a request has been made often enough and by enough different people, it catches his attention and he either moves forward with it or rejects it. Some forums have been tried and removed due to lack of activity. Basically, what exists conforms to the needs of the current population as evidenced by where and how they post. It's not that much more philosophically more complicated, in my observation. While explanations exist, they aren't the final point, IMHO.
I think it just proves you get extra rights if you're one of these "minorites" on the site. Or if you're female. So you think if the forum doesn't work, it'll get removed? Will it folk.

It's not extra rights. It's called protection from abusive pieces of s**t like you that f*****g harass normal people who want to be able to find some f*****g help and someone to confide in.
Maybe you should worry about your life more if you're really so bad off that you're picking on the LGBT crowd for having "extra rights" that aren't there.

Actually, what I was told was that is was removed for lack of use and general disinterest. I wasn't around back then so I can't speak to specifics.

BS. Protection? If they are normal people, then why do they want to bring so much attention to their gender or sexuality? You hypocrite, "abusive people like me", then you call me a piece of s**t. If they want someone to confide in, then they can do what everyone else does, cause they want to be like everyone else right?!?!

You all do realize that if we added a men's forum another group would be right behind you complaining about a forum they want, right? Making the same arguments you are making now, just as upset as you are now.
A line has to be drawn somewhere and I am sorry that it was drawn to the wrong side of your issue. I didn't draw it.
But by all means, have fun with the conversation. Just don't feel like your request is being ignored if this thread receives no further mod or admin attention. The answer to your question has already been given, and we can't do anything about that.

Because people like you always find a way to attack them. They want their own forum so people like you NEVER go there and so that they at least have one minuscule filter.
Why are you targeting them if not to harass them? There is very obviously no lacking in social help for the straights in the dating section and other such sections that cater to the majority by defacto.
Are you really that bad off that you have to harass them? Do you need to be made to feel special or something?

@murphycop: What really has you all riled up? All of this stuff is history.
I can't help it that blatant double standards piss me off. Maybe i'd be different if I lived in America, where they're 40 years behind us on gay rights, well in several states anyway. If someone started a thread in the haven or something saying they were gay or transexual, and they were being abused due to this, i'd have all the sympathy in the world for them. Cause they aren't being treated equally. Now its gone to the other extreme on this site, with the new exclusive forum.

So why was the GLBT forum created then, didn't anyone think about that bother creating it?

This is an aspie board. Let's be honest, basically the whole forum is a men's board. There's a couple women here and there but for the most part, it's all men. Any particular male needs that are "men's needs" can be posted in either the section dealing with social interaction or the adults only section where one can ask more adult questions about sex and what not.

Because GLBT needs are different from the normal needs of the majority and they probably feel more comfortable in such a place rather than in a general section where they may face harassing responses.
