Blizzard vs. gaymers

Feb 3rd 2006 4:12PM (Joystiq)
It always makes me cringe when LGBT supporters flame the Christians et al when responding to anti-gay sentiments. Christians on the receiving end tend to take it badly (can you blame them?). It also puts supportive Christians in an awkward position. And don't forget the many gay Christians in the world either.

But what I think what needs to be recognized is the suffering that has been inflicted on gay people by many Christians. LGBT people feel as though most Christians target them out for special treatment. They lash out in return which only serves to deepen the animosity. That being said, c'mon guys. Don't hurt the cause by descending to that level of 'dialogue'.

I don't play WoW, but if I did and were looking to join a guild, I know that I'd rather belong to a guild that is comprised of people who won't say things that I find personally injurious every other sentence. Now, not all those people have to be gay, but an LGBT-friendly guild would be great. Otherwise, even in in-game dialogue, one has to constantly guard against what you say to keep having anything that could turn your guildmates against you from 'coming out.' That's just not fun, whether in-game or out.

I guess I'd just like to see Blizzard reconsider this.

Gamecube. Xbox looks like a green rupturing blister. Ew... PS2 is nice and simple, but not terribly original.
