I think I was responding specifically to this statement:

I was really confused when I didn't find a giant crowd of gay people on Steemit.

Well they normally don't crowd around. They're everywhere though. I've met many, and usually we all busy talking about what's going on with the latest news and developments around here... We rarely take time to compare sexual preferences. lol.

It's not deliberate. In newer versions of steemit (and steem the network), it is planned to have GROUPS and communities... of a particular interest. I think this is when lgbtq groups will be formed.

P.S. Nice meeting you by the way. sykochica already found you. She's nice, bright, funny, and friendly, and a lot of fun especially on steemitalk radio -- you'll definitely meet a lot of cool people here. Welcome :)
