If my understanding is correct, a "Gayla" is a meet which was first discussed on the GLTB Forum and may have a number of gay-oriented activities.

In a sense, this is no different than the first and second annual PBI-FLL meets, which were discussed on the Delta Forum, and known as the "Great Delta Forum Meet" before being brought over to Community Buzz.

In both instances, the meets are open to all FTers, regardless of their sexual and/or airline orientations.

Whether straights should be invited to Gaylas was a matter of some contention on the GLTB Forum in 2004 but this post by Randy Petersen put that issue to rest.
