I would argue it's more money holding power BUT...
Where power lies is not the intent of this thread.
A talk about privilege can be made, but not here, and not about this.
My purpose for the LS is not necessarily as a save 'haven' away from the icky heteros. (that's a joke) It was simply, in my opinion, a place to network, bullshit, and befriend other players and CHARACTERS who might identify as LGBT+, so yes, that includes 'straight' players who may have LGBT+ characters and might be interested in other characters of the ilk.
I MADE it because there -was- a linkshell like that, but it no longer exists, so I wanted to have that again. I -am- of the mindset that any sort of hostility will be handled, by me (or my mods) and if it isn't then I need to know about it so I can DO something about it. (I can't be logged in 24/7, of course)
That was my purpose here, not a huge debate over power dynamics, or anything like that. So please don't take any one statement or comment as an entire community's opinion or stance.
