One reason for the creation of minority teams is that we were not able to join the other teams because of discrimination. Another reason is that it gave us a chance to form a group with a common denominator, to celebrate our kinship with other fringe members of society.
That said, I don't think str8s should be banned from GLBT leagues any more than I think BGLT players should be banned from str8 teams. However, if the majority of a team is not composed of TBLG players, then IMHO, that team should either change its roster or cease to identify itself as a LGBT team (and therefore withdraw from the league) until such a time as TBGL players comprise the majority.
