Gay RPers? Do you only RP gay characters? I can see an LS for maybe figuring out how to RP an LGBT character for people who OOCly aren't, but I'm not sure how sexuality would change your RP. I RP characters of lots of different situations, some of which I am not personally.
It would vary from player to player. I imagine many LGBT people play LGBT characters. I do, personally, because it comes naturally to me. I'm pretty exclusively into men IRL, but I tend to play bisexual characters for the sake of being a little open.
Being connected to LGBT characters and players could be helpful to someone who isn't queer IRL, but wants to play a character that is.
Some people might just want a safe space where they can get advice, or unwind with others who they can talk to about related subjects with less anxiety.
I'm personally not experienced with transgender characters in roleplay. I've rarely ever seen a transgender character, and I imagine that can be very challenging to do. I'm sure a network of allies could be a good resource.
To each their own, really. Some may not see a point and want to participate, while others seemingly have wanted a network like this for some time.
