What do we mean by "All topics of interest to the LGBT community"?

3. There seems to be sensitivity right now to any perceived criticism of DU3. I'm taking a wait and see

approach. I would not have voted to close your earlier thread, but clearly some LGBTQ DUers were uncomfortable with it. I'm guessing that they felt that the thread might be anticipating trouble, and in so doing, stirring up trouble. Maybe a better strategy for those of us wondering how this new system will play out is to wait until trouble arises and then see how well the new system works.

If, after a month or two, we're getting a lot of insensitive or even bigoted posts ignored by juries, then we can talk about it.

Personally, I've often felt that the problems on DU arose from too much moderation rather than too little. Posts that were obviously homophobic were allowed to stay while those of us who attempted to "educate" the poster got moderated. Trolls played here for years while many of us were banned for practically nothing. In recent years I became convinced that the majority of mods and admins were more clueless about gay rights than the average DUer. Yes, I said that and I stand by it.

This new system may work better than we think. If not, we're probably no worse off than before.
