But the "want" for a "gayla" then arises from the US GLBT FTers wanting it to be "clearer" that the event is more for the GLBT people (obviously with some friendly "regular" people in attendance) than for the GLBT FTers attending a general event where the GLBT FTers may be in a usual minority.

Jen - Don't worry that US GLBT FTers won't attend an Int'l Do - there were plenty of us at the London Mega-Do. I think its actually the other way around, there has been a few proposals for Int'l gaylas that have not been successful.
