What you have run into is this we are better than you opinion that some have.
I have seen it in group many times. They feel CDs are in denial. That they tarnish the image.
The group I go to meets at a LGBT center. in this college town an hour north of me. I had heard that a new gay bar had opened up in town there. After the meeting I asked Trans woman running the meeting if she had heard of it. She snapped at me, "we don't go to bars!" Really, I didn't bother telling her I was asking for a friend who is a GAY MAN.
This center sends out announcements about meeting at some bar for a mixer, all the time.
