I also questioned why a gay cyclist was looking for a gay cycling club, because I didn't understand why it mattered, and most people no longer care too much about other's sexual preferences. It had a few responses from others who had the same question and the moderators put a stop to the discussion. Nothing said, in my opinion, was offensive.
I didn't realise Australian cyclist's were so uptight about everything, or maybe they're more Internet nerd than cyclist.
