I have some issues I would like to be able to discuss in a forum geared specifically toward those issues. I've been thinking it over and trying to figure out what would be the best way to create a forum to address them, because they aren't issues that probably the majority of the people here deal with.

The lightbulb came on this morning, and I realized that one unifying theme would be that they are minority issues.

For example, I am biracial. I would love to have a place to talk about issues of race and ethnicity, because this is a huge part of my own experience, exploration, and growth- and I could use a lot more support and input.

Another example, I am bisexual. I would like a forum where I could talk about my issues with coming out, dealing with fears of discrimination and stereotyping, feelings of isolation and self-hate, etc.

So what about a forum that is for the discussion of minority issues? Ethnic, sexual, ability status, gender, whatever...?
