After a couple of comments that were made on a different thread I'm going to conduct some market research about the viability of setting up an LGBTQ+ supporters club. It's just research at the moment and as much as I'd love there to be one right now, this moment, I'm not sure a supporters club of just one would be much fun.
I have set up a very short simple survey, please take time to fill it in.
Please remember I'm an actual human, with feelings, be nice and don't fill it in with anything horrible or homophobic.

TL;DR
There is evidence from kickitout, prideinfootball and stonewall that an LGBTQ+ supporters club is a good thing for a club and leads to increased inclusivity.
Personally I'd envisage the club being a group of understanding people, of all genders and sexualities, providing:
- an ability to travel together to away matches, social meets and events (not always connected to match day)
- working with the club to provide inclusivity and diversity training to enable stewards and staff better understanding of issues and how to deal with them when they are reported
- To work with the club and other supporters clubs to make the match day experience enjoyable, safe, friendly and harassment free for all.
I wouldn't want segregated seating within the turf for those who are members of the supporters club.
