Have you thought about starting a guild with people more open-minded and progressive? It's probably a lot harder to do than I think. I don't go to my local guild because when I first joined newcomers were not treated very well. I sat at a table with older members and was ignored. A few months later they actually introduced new members and had some gifts for them. They said they didn't have enough for all the new members, and just started throwing them into the crowd and if you wanted one you had to fight for it. I think that was my last meeting. I don't remember ever seeing a man there, wonder if they are banned. I guess I should check.
It was very hard to hear any speaker because very few people paid attention and talked through the meeting.
I do say that they do a lot for the community and are very charitable. I just wish the meetings were more enjoyable. I haven't been in over a year, and I just received a call asking for my $15.00 fee. I sew charity quilts and can donate on my own.
