I disagree. If anything, having only a "homosexual" group brands them as abnormal, as everyone else is assumed to be normal and heterosexual. There's a homosexual group without a heterosexual group for the same reason that there are gay bars but not "straight bars". All bars are by default assumed straight, and so are editors. It's an interesting case of what could possibly be bias, but it's not really pro-gay.

Another category that was deleted was the list of users who are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_categories_for_discussion/Archive/June_2007#Category:Wikipedians_who_homeschool homeschooled]. Again, the claim was that the category wasn't useful, but I think that wiki wants to prevent homeschoolers from organizing so that we can't share ideas.
