There does not have to be 'intent' for an act to be discriminatory.
By definition one subset of a major group has been discriminated against. If that subset have a strong enougth group identity to want to band together then I dont see that as a problem.

P.s. I do think the sexist argument is stronger than the antigay argument in this case.
