I think the "gay" discussion is more appropriate in net.singles than
net.motss for the simple reason that net.motss was created for gay people
to have their own little space where they didn't have to be constantly on
the defensive because of their sexual orientation. 

The discussion that has been going on in net.singles is quite aggressive
in that some people have expressed some very strong homophobic points of
view.  While it is their right since freedom of speech seems to be widely
accepted on this net, their right would definitely get in the way of gay
people's right to their own space if this conversation ever was to move
to net.motss.
