Probably the same reason that they are meeting in a bar in an area that the bars are based around sexual orientation ie in a place where they feel safe enough to meet, be themselves without hearing / facing prejudicial comments and can discuss their favourite game / club.
In the same was as their is the Football Supporters' Federation, there is also the Gay Football Fans Network.
Good luck, if group are able to attract more Blues to watch games by going to games together then that can only be positive.

It's almost a kind of positive discrimination, is it not? Why set up a separate almost self segregated branch? Don't get me wrong, I'm not gay and I'm not against it, but surely it would be better if there was total integration as opposed to deliberate segregation.

Maybe if someone has joined their local branch and travelled on a coach and had endless hours of 'banter' about homophobic issues (football and non football) then they feel the need to set their own branch up. I'm sure (without knowing) that the membership of the group will be like going to Canal Street itself - anyone with a gay friendly attitude will be welcome. It will be inclusive to anyone who is inclusive!

Agree except it does nothing to integrate, but each to their whether it's for the greater good... or not, and this is not intended to be decisive comment, I would much prefer to see everyone singing from the same hymn sheet!

Can I remind everyone of item 8 of the Code of Conduct

8. Anything that is construed as racist, homophobic or libellous will be deleted and you will be warned/banned.

Good God, if that was rule was applied as rigidly to the rest of the board as it on here then you'd have to at least treble the number of mods.
 
I personally think that real integration, where we dont need separate groups for those who suffer discrimination, would be ideal. But the onus is definitely not on the LGBT community to integrate, and just accept the prejudice that they experience. Once all the discrimination stops then none of this will be necesarry, just like its not necesarry to have a straight supporters group.

On a totally separate subject, has David Silva ever had a girlfriend?
