A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

This isn't, like, officially a thing. No one demands this. But culturally, it is very much a thing that lots of people only really have friends to which they're categorically not attracted.
There's this whole concept of certain friend group activities being gendered, like watching sports is a thing men typically do with other (hetero) men.
Of course, it does also just make friendships less complicated, if it's clear from the start that no one wants romance.
