I was asked about those. Not having been to one, I speculate they'd "fit" into under one or more categories, and I'm not sure I'd see a "need" to call some events gaylas and other events "Do's", but rather something based on size/scope of the event. I would think a "Do" organized by the GLBT forum would be a little self-eplanatory in terms of its "target" attendees, and from what I've seen, those are also open to all. I could be wrong, and if an "edit" is needed, I'll gladly give it a go.

I think one "system" for that lies in the references across this thread to the social networking that goes on off-board, and who/who does not find their way to such things. Certainly NOT meant to be high-school-clique-style exclusive, it's just a socially-mature recognition of any person's prerogative to pursue friendships with people they get along with...and not so much with people they don't. These are not "in crowd/out crowd" divisions as some perceive them to be, as there truly could not be one of either in a community of this size.....just the freedom people exercise (or give up) and the initiative (or lack therof) with their own, personal, social endeavors.
