Many LGBT people don’t have access to other LGBT people, community centers or support networks. Many places in the world are neither friendly nor safe for LGBT people - developed first world countries included. I've met a lot of people through other games who are that exact situation. Also, in my experiences, video games and online communities are often one the first place many trans* individuals start to explore their identity. I've had the opportunity to connect with and share my experience to those who are desperately seeking a safe place to do the same.
I'm not expecting such a Linkshell to be so heavy all the time. I'm hoping to use it to set up connections and plots with other LGBT characters. I think there's a lot of potential for fun in doing so.

Sorry to post so frequently after my last, but I hadn't seen this reply.
This is a great point that I think about at times. I've met several people online who lived in places where other queer folk were uncommon. They didn't have anyone to talk to and very little experience. For some its nice to have a space where you can talk to others who may have been in your situation, or just to hear different perspectives.
Everyone's going to want something different out of it.
