The real problem pointed out by the article is that Blizzard was being capricious and inconsistent with its approach to "Harrassment--Sexual Discrimination." There's certainly nothing discriminatory about typing the letters LGBT in a public forum (even a privately mediated one like channels in WoW). If someone thinks that it is discrimination to type those letters, well, then they need to get a life. People who are LGBT certainly wouldn't think so. Why should anyone else?
It seems that guilds are precisely the place to support specific groups with specific interests. If you have a gay guild or a christian guild or a cheese-lovers guild the great benefit is that you can easily speak to all your guildies about the interest you share and you don't clog up the public channels with your own interests. All guilds need to be able to recruit though. That is the best way to help everyone find associations that work for them.
