Don't forget the LGBT Civil Rights and Activism space

It's really not getting much traffic at all. I try to use that space as appropriate but threads are simply getting lost because on one goes there. Should we discuss whether or not to continue with that space or put all posts here in GLBT?

If I recall correctly, it continues to exist as a result of internal conflicts that this group had near the end of DU2. Similar to the multiple feminism groups. It functions as a place where those who, while ardent supporters of LGBT rights, have severe conflicts with other members of the original group, and in some cases have/had been blocked from the original group.

I remember us having asked a while ago (maybe a year or so?) if the group was still necessary and the Admins at the time were reticent to make that decision, likely I suppose as they are reticent to stir up any ill feeling from LGBT DUers when we've all be coexisting fairly well since the beginning of DU3. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I assume would be their position still.
