Hmmm, if you people think a Gay MUG is a stupid idea, I suppose
the MUG I wanted to start will really get flamed.  I wanted to
start the Bisexual Comic Reading Jugglers Macintosh Users Group. :-)

I can think of several reasons to have a Gay Mac Users Group, two
of which are listed below.

1. Mac users often spend a lot of money on hardware and software.
Many Gay people do not like to spend money for products from companies
that are oppresive to Gays.  If there are two competing products, a Gay
user might want to know something about how the companies that sell
those products treat Gays.  A Non-gay MUG would not be likely to keep
such information.  A Gay MUG would.

This would also be a good reason for other specialized MUGs, such as
a Black Mac Users Group, or a Jewish Mac Users Group, etc.

2. Straight MUGs are less likely to have a good collection of Gay
oriented adult MacPaint files. :-)

ps: just in case, is there anyone out there who would be interested in
a bisexual comic reading jugglers MUG? :-)
