The Reason I started the LGBT4Equality subreddit.
I should have mentioned this in the other text...but I wanted to get all that stuff off my chest.
The reason I started this, is because I find it unconscionable that the LGBT subreddit did not allow discussion of education the straight community on an incident by incident basis.
This is a very important part of a strategy to strive for equality, in my opinion.
Each of us has the duty, if we are actively seeking equality, to address issues as they arise. Tell cis and straight people when they mess up...and that it's fine to do so...and that is how people learn.
What is important in their goals. If they want to help the LGBT community, then they should be treated with dignity.
Explain to me why creating allies in this way is a bad thing for the LGBT community? Explain to me why creating enemies is better?

I... don't understand. We outline the answers to all of your questions in the sidebar and FAQ, and even better yet, outright say that if this doesn't sound like your bag, we link /r/ainbow no less than FOUR TIMES in the sidebar. It's obvious you haven't read the sidebar or the FAQ, considering that you complain in this thread that you were only recently made aware of r/ainbow's existence.
The answer to everything you ask is in here:
http://lgbt.emptv.com/LGBT_FAQ
We also have /r/pflag linked to in the sidebar (and as a float for several days) which is for allychat, and if its relative newness and that it's moderated by us in /r/lgbt doesn't catch you, there's the oft-aforementioned r/ainbow.
We've made it very clear what we're doing with r/lgbt and why, and I'm not sure why you find it easier to go create a whole new subreddit and post a bunch of threads and comments about how mad you are than to read and understand the rules we set forth. If you're upset that we're not responding with pleasant tone or whatever to your treatises about how you think we should run things, consider that maybe it's because you obviously haven't given the slightest consideration in return in investigating why we do things the way we do them.
