The GenderGap list is about the gender gap - the gap in 
representation, involvement, participation, and acceptance of women on 
Wikipedia. We are concerned about it because of its impact on the 
encyclopaedia and on some people working in good faith on it. The sexual
 orientation and indeed, the sex life of those women and men is 
irrelevant. Individuals who are concerned to remedy the gender gap for 
the sake of the encyclopaedia might be male (gay or straight) or female 
(gay or straight) or anything else for that matter. To repeat, this 
gender gap list is about the gender gap. It is not about sub groups or 
sexual identification. It is about accessing the knowledge and talents 
of 50% of the population. It is about PEOPLE working together on a 
project and a problem with that project irrespective of who they choose 
or decline to have as sexual partners.<br>
<br>
So it is good that there will be a separate list specifically for discussions of L, G, B,T, I, Q etc. I think we should 
ignore sexual orientation on THIS one as it is irrelevant for addressing the the lack of female participation in Wikmedia projects. Otherwise I 
want a list for people who identify as celibate.<br>
