Why do they have to 'justify' it?  Users' groups aren't something you get
involved with soley to study your computer with the greatest efficiency.
They are (sometimes primarily) social gatherings of people with common
interests.  Also, as you may remember, a lot of straight people still
have problems accepting gays.  So it's going to be a much more comfortable
environment if they don't have to worry about other group members talking
behind their backs, etc.  And of course there will be more chance of meeting
someone attractive etc., for those so inclined.  Personally, being of the
hetero persuasion, I'd much rather go to a U.G. that had lots of attractive
college women in it than go to one that was full of pimply-faced 15 year-old
computer nerds - get the picture?
