LGB is about sexuality, we're not here to talk shit about "clown profiles" or focus on their ridiculousness. Why would we divert our entire purpose and community for that? Think of how terrible that is for LGB, and how focusing on others got us where we are today.

"Clowns" is not relevant unless they're impacting LGB, and there are flairs for that. We are not s/TumblrInAction and we are not s/ThereAreTwoGenders.

If you (or others) can't find the appropriate flair when you're posting, it probably means you're sharing the wrong content for our sub. There are very few posts we can't flair appropriately - those we can't typically hit several talking points, so we wait for the community to decide through comments.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. I'm talking about profiling organizations like the National Center for Lesbian Rights (perhaps my personal favorite), Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, their changing leadership, etc. Actual activists. Not randos on Twitter or Tumblr sideshows. I was being facetious by calling it profiles in clownery but the emphasis is on things not making sense anymore and being logically inconsistent.
