Stealing Mikeyc's words, to reinforce them:

I'm gay. And I'm in a linkshell. Nobody else is gay in it I don't think, and I'm indifferent either way. At one point I was in a gay one, in 2005 on this server. It was probably a bit seedy to be honest now I look back actually, although I did meet some great people.
(Well, Seraph, but we're all one big happy family now.)
While it was nice at times to have a place I could go hide when the immature omggaybadwtf comments in my first shell got too much, I think I saw more angst and drama in that shell than in my next two shells combined. I eventually found a social filled with people who don't care. Even my endgame shells have no tolerance policy for any sort of discrimination - if someone complains, it's dealt with.
Are there plenty of idiots on any server that'll give you hell? Yep. Altana gave us a /blist for a reason (only permanent resident resident of mine is due to a repeeated slur). Otherwise, just meet people and you'll find cool ones eventually.
