Hi,

I would find it interesting to have feedback on neutrality problems 
that kind of topics may rise in our projects. I wish everybody would 
have a mind focus on human "fulfillment/development"[1] (for which I 
think sexual orientation self-determination is a requirement), but I 
suppose that our project also attract more homophobic minds and so on.

On the other hand, I wonder how much the most active part of our 
community may be more "open minded", and enclined to be less neutral on 
topics where "populists propaganda" that a majority of "uneducated" 
people may easily adopt as mind-set, if you see what I mean.

[1] In french I would say "épanouissement", but I can't say if there's 
a one-one semantic equivalent word in English, all the more I may attach 
non-widely shared semantic to this French word in the first place :P
