It has been like this since the age of times, between rich and poor, X race and Y race, religion A and religion B. People don't like to feel excluded or marked as different, and groups like this do cause those feelings. This is why while I fully support people of different sexual orientation, I do not quite agree with LGBT communities or LGBT centered events (cause I mean, it's not like there are straight-centered events).
I'm sorry you've had negative experiences concerning this. However, I've only felt that I've had positive experiences with this. The roe-only linkshell, for example, I've always found to be pretty positive. I also enjoy frequenting the Girl Gamers sub-reddit on reddit.com and it is my favorite gaming-related subreddit to date.
However, a very easy solution is to not exclude LGBT allies. Girl Gamers has male subscribers as well.
I understand your viewpoint but at the same time such communities are often formed to share experiences. It's the exact same reason why we have to organize to form a RP community--otherwise we'd never be able to find each other and share in our interests.
