Bizarre question: Can one be a sperm donor for specifically GLBT's?
...who want kids?

I was wondering are the sperm banks set up for just Lesbian couples (can't see a neeed for gay men for some reason...)

3. As far as I know, sperm banks are set up to

collect sperm and provide it to infertile couples. Unmarried women, including lesbians, may be among a sperm bank's clients but the majority as infertile married couples.

4. Hmmmm thing is I would specifically want to donate to Lesbian couples
Because they are fairly discriminated against by many sperm banks.

Especially the snowflake one.

5. I'm out of the loop re: snowflake references.

But reasonably sure you're not talking about frozen precipitation.

Though sperm banks do deal in frozen goods. . .

Anyway, if you're serious, there are probably lesbian couples who'd be happy to receive your donated sperm. Some people, straight couples included, don't bother with sperm banks, go in for DIY donor sperm insemination to avoid the cost and embarrassment of dealing with a clinic.
