    Everyone involved sees and understands how necessary this is and yet. It makes my blood boil that this uber-obstructionist playbook is being used and has been used constantly recently.

    I know I'm really late to this topic, but I would like to point out that the death penalty is state by state with 31 states using the death penalty and 19 not using it (mostly the typically Democratic voting states). The death penalty is mostly a Republican thing.

    I think that in general this line of thinking makes a lot sense except for in minority groups looking for a safe space. It makes a ton of sense to have the experts there on hand with the bubbling up for content areas, hobbies, basically anything except for an actual identity. Those are all chosen areas of expertise; an identity is not chosen and if it's a minority identity, it's often persecuted. Unlike someone who has chosen their area of expertise and learned it over time and would probably love to share that learning, for someone of a particular identity it can be a bit draining to be pelted by these "noob" questions when you're just looking to chat with others who share your identity. So, while I think in general it would make a ton of sense to format it like you're suggesting, you've hit (one of) the big exceptions to that through lgbt where it should definitely be separate.
