The argument that exclusive groups practice reverse prejudice is a
very one-sided look at the issue.  The bottom line is a feeling of
belonging, being with your own kind, and never having to explain why.
As a queer, there are times when I need to be with only queers.  I can
get support and understanding that my straight sisters and brothers
cannot give me.  It's not their fault; it's just the way things are.
