Is it normal to go to a LGBT meeting, if you are not LGBT?

    This is stupid. What if LGBT issues are the topic of interest to this person? How is it better that a bunch of straights are discussing LGBT issues without a single LGBT person present? That's like saying if men are interested in exploring feminism they should just talk amongst themselves with other men and never learn what the issues affecting women actually are. Utterly stupid.

      If the group is FOR people of LGBT etc orientation, then that's who it's for, not for curious straights, especially as OP hasn't asked if it's ok for him/her to be there.

      There's a place for women only groups and men only groups and LGBT only groups and straight only groups: people are entitled to get together with others they feel comfortable with without disrespectful people sneaking in and listening to them.

      What's so "stupid" about that?

      Haven't you heard?

      We all must stay in our safe little bubbles these days.

        So you don't think people are entitled to meet with likeminded people without someone sneaking in under false pretences? Really?

        Safety is very important to LGBT people and we're entitled to it: there are enough safe spaces for straight people and very few for us.
