Too bad that this is still needed, instead of being able to safely mingle with everyone, but I definitely get why and it seems like a good initiative. Even here in the relatively progressive Netherlands I still notice that quite some men and even some women still have quite sexist, queerphobic, and xenophobic views. It's a certain subgroup of people who appear to make it their personality to make as many offensive jokes as possible. Hopefully we can one day grow beyond this behaviour.
Here in Brazil, the wave of conservatism is very strong, mainly because it's linked to religion, "good customs" and the family. They suffer jokes, physical and psychological aggression and death. It may sound silly, but for these people it is a great victory to have a place where they can feel comfortable and not be afraid of dying.
