This is one that I do not understand with people who are gay/lesbian. Where I work there is "Pride" group, but the people whom I work with and for, I know practically nothing about their private lives or even where they live in general (which city), and so, a person could be completely gay and I would never know it, and so, what's the point of having such groups when one's personal life is so private to begin with? I suppose that we can hang around people who have similar interests to us (like, stamp collecting); other than that, what's the point?
I've got 10.000 house elves coming up with an answer to your question as we speak.
