Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Sexuality Board Concept.. what do you think?

I'd think that it would make giving advice exceedingly difficult. While you're right, it may reduce a small amount of prejudice, I believe that the TFP is accepting enough that most people will not feel a difference.

Whereas I don't believe that sexual preference should define an individual, often it might help define a personal problem.

I think this would be like trying to eliminate race from the national scene. While a good idea in theory (hey, who doesn't want equality?), often race allows a group of people to feel a mutual togetherness and a place to belong. Sexuality is often the same way.

Once again, I firmly believe that there is not that much bias across the TFP. There's no need to protect a member from another member's prejudice.
