I went to college long enough ago that the school club was simply the "Gay and Lesbian Alliance."
And the lesbian part was controversial, because what do they have to do with us? said the basically white guys who ran the thing.
I am totally an outsider-ally in this. But I have gotten some inkling that some among the QUILTBAG community have a long and ugly history of trying to keep other oppressed sexualities out.
This seems like only the latest iteration of that.
Anyone who wants to gatekeep who gets sanctuary in this community had better not be relying simply on feelings and personal squick.
(Is that not why the community had to be founded in the first place?)
