All the talk about discrimination is fine, for example:

...There was an article a couple days ago saying that dozens of men were sentenced to jail time in Egypt for being gay. This is an example of an important piece of information for gay travelers planning a trip.
Gay travelers also face discrimination when checking in to some hotels. Apparently, some hotel staff thinks it is their business to be rude to gay guests staying at their hotel. A gay forum would allow us to discuss issues like this, so that gay travelers who were planning a trip could take this into account....
Gay travelers face discrimination (both good and bad) around the world. Since this transcends airlines, hotels, cities, states, countries, continents, it would be difficult to contain the conversation in any one of the existing fora....
As there is presently no good alternative forum, we are missing out on plenty of possible discussion and learning opportunities.</font>
