Unequal Equality?

I work with the loveliest group of girls, but today they surprised me.

I was asked if heterosexual members can attend the LGBT conference, I obviously told them that they cannot. I was not expecting the onslaught I received. I was told that to have an LGBT only group is discrimination, "what about us straight people, we're not allowed a straight only group."

Firstly why on earth would you want a heterosexual only group? I challenge anybody to bring to my attention any story of discrimination because of heterosexuality.

To have a group where we can discus issues that affect us is so desperately important. I will not be told that I am guilty of discrimination because I have debated motions with only members of the LGBT community. I agree we should live in a world where there is no need for LGBT groups, Black and Asian groups, etc. Unfortunately we do not live in that world, and doubt very much we will ever inhabit Utopia (Philosophically impossible).

Guys get off your band wagons. I don't hate anybody, I love and respect all. However being in an oppressed minority means we have got to organise from within.
