God i hope i dont get flamed for this...but its been bugging me. Are there any gay players or gay friendly LS? I remember the last time i told a LS i was gay...i got kicked out like 5 minutes later. Best part is, i was one of the guilds creators and i helped it to grow from 4 members to 20...nice huh? And they went a step above to flame me in tells, thats when i learned how to ignore people in game. ^^ Anyways, i dont want to go through that again. And besides i heard people telling me that there were, and i know there were a bunch on EQ. So any info would be appreciated....

**if this offends you or makes you angry, please keep comments to yourself..thank you.**

Ever since the ban gay marriage crap started, the homophobes came out of hiding. IMO it's best you all keep it to yourselves so not to draw any unecessary hatred..

Craya, the gay taru, seemed to thrive on our server. He played it up a lot in roleplay though, and had a great sense of humor.

No LS needs a rule to be "gay friendly"... Avoid LS with kids under 18 and you will usually be fine. Most players are pretty decent. And like the previous poster said, there is rarely a pressing need to share your sexual orientation with the internet, anyhow.

My cousin is gay and plays on another server and this issue never came up. Last time I saw him at Christmas, I asked him how the online community was overall. He said there were some clowns, but if you can survive highschool after coming out of the closet, then you can definately learn to survive in a virtual world full of lesbian catgirls.

Actually I'm kinda shocked that this hasn't been flamed to death already. Seems the past two or three times something like this came up it was.
I know there were a couple GLBT LS around before, just dont know if any are still running. I know LS I was part of was friendly but, since leader quit, its been a dead LS.
Really dont even know if the one I'm part of is or not now. I mean I've never just said, "So how you feel about them gay players?"

Starting your own LS, you'll still run into same issues, other then having control over LS.

Just hopefully everything works out well for you. (:

Well...ClanDestine is recruiting. But we're not concerned with people's sexual orientation. If you're gay...that's great for you. And no one will criticize you...of that I'm certain. Really...I don't see how your sexual preference will affect anything ingame. Unless you're looking for a gay hook-up/chat linkshell. If that's the case, good luck. In any case, if you're looking for a supportive Linkshell that is not concerned with your homosexuality, please consider ClanDestine.

Is there such a thing as a homophobe-ophobe? Anyway, people like that just astonish me. The kind of discrimination and cruelty people can still show in today's day and age. Sickening.

There have been some gay LS's in the past but I haven't heard of one for awhile. Probably your best bet is to befriend some of the gay players on this server and then join one of their LS's as they can tell you how open their ls is to homosexuality, from it not being an issue to occasional glbt colored conversations happening. Plus they might be able to tell you what happens if homophobic conversations start up (ie if the person is kicked when they went over the line).

Look me up. Name's Koji. Warning! All flames sent to me in-game will end with about 20-30 people blacklisting you permanently.
#16REDACTED, Posted: Aug 11 2006 at 4:47 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I find this comment interesting. The orrigional poster did not want anyone flameing his post. I respect that since he is clear about his intent on posting about what he wants and is looking for. What I find so comical is that this post is reverse discrimination towards those of us that find the "gay" scene sickening ourselves. I am not here to discuss it in a form of it being right or wrong my beliefs are my beliefs.

Having your own beliefs are fine, but if you can't be respectful to another HUMAN being. Then please, keep them to yourself.

Excuse me? WTF why dont you look at the quote I made in my orrigional post on this thread! Respect is exactly the issue I am talking about. You people really are something. You want people to respect you without ever giving respect in the first place. No wonder people laugh at you and mock you. I dont have to run around shouting "IM STRAIGHT!" and flaunting myself because its quite normal to be that way. On the other hand I dont go out of my way to make post on public forums about how pathetic and sick "gays" are either. MY WHOLE REASON for posting here was in responce to the "discrimination and cruelty" and how "sickening" people like me are when this punk has never even met me. His very general comment was praising his "gay" community while slamming us normal people with TOTAL DISRESPECT so you can take your comment and shove it whether your a human being or not.

You want respect, earn it. Dont get your feelings hurt or go cry in the corner cause if you can not handle this your life as a ***** will be full of hurt feelings.

The orrigional poster I have no problem with. All he was wanting was a place to call home in game as far as a linkshell. Its comments from people like you and Codyy that get me fired up. You think the world owes you respect when you have done absolutely nothing to earn it. So shove it.

I think someone is overreacting to what was most likely a joke. Homophobe-aphobe? Come on. That sounds like something George Carlin would come up with, therefore, it has to be at least a little tongue in cheek. As for making fun of people like you, I don't see anywhere that someone did that until you made your comments. Since you obviously don't like gays(male or female), I don't see why you even bothered to read this thread. No one forced you to. If you had left it alone, you wouldn't have had a chance to blow things way out of proportion. Maybe, instead of reading threads about stuff that repulses you than claiming people are "shoving" it in your face, you should go watch some more 700 club. I bet good old Pat Robertson will have something good to say about this after he is done claiming he can leg press 2000lbs.

Oh yeah, one other thing. How do you know if anyone here has done anything to earn anyones respect? Do you actually know them? The way I see it, if you have to get so worked up over something someone online said, you need a life. Go ahead and flame me if you want. I won't care. I don't know you or anyone else on Alla. I will, however, probably fall out of my chair laughing at you. But hey, it's all in good fun. Oh yeah, I am straight, not gay. So go ahead and refer to me as "one of them people."

1. Overreacting? I think not. If "they" can post thier likes dislikes so can I get off your soap box.

2. A joke? Likely not everyone seemed serious enough on this thread includeing you.

3. Blown out of proportion? I get sick and tired of people going to the left and getting patted on the back while those of us that stick to the right get told we are out of touch with reality and are "blowing things out of proportion" so go shove it. My post is totally proportionate and relevent to the subject at hand.

4. This is a public forum so I can read what I like and write what I like I do NOT need you telling me what to read or write OR for what reason I should or should not do so!

5. Respect is earned as the orrigional poster did. I respect him fully in that his post was done in a manner that was respectful and tastefull without flaunting anything in anyones face. This fact includes not makeing assumtions about those that are not "gay".

6. I need a life? Actually quite the oposite as per anyone that knows me in game knows a bit about what I do which is why I can not be relied upon for LS events and such. The fact is I get tired of people like Codyy flaunting themselves as if they are in a parade slandering anyone who is not of his kind. Again this is a public forum and I may come post here as I see fit just as you did.

If anyone is gay although I find it sick the person themself does not bother or offend me. I have some friends that are "gay" and have full knowledge of my feelings toward the concept. Yet they are like the orrigional poster, not flaunting or flamboyant but good people. Respect is earned or lost based on many premises not just knowing them irl. Besides in ffxi you respect or do not respect players depending on thier actions yet you truely do not know them. So your theory in this manner is seriously flawed and evidence to my fact that respect is based on many more premises than irl alone.

Any more questions?

I've been wondering. When did Cody ever say he was gay or not gay? As for my comments about reading this thread, you're right, it is a public forum and anyone can read whatever they want. My question is, if you are so against homosexuality, why read it in the first place? You call it unnatural and disgusting and many other things. The original poster asked for no "flaming". Granted, you aren't flaming the poster directly, but you are attacking what is obviously believed in by him so you are flaming.

Respect...never said you HAD to respect anyone. Respect should be earned. But so should disrespect, and nothing in the thread warranted such action. If you can't take things a little less seriously (especially from people you will never ever know) you are going to have a heart attack, stroke, or a seizure for no reason.

Unnatural? Just because you wouldn't do it doesn't mean it's unnatural. You fail to realize that homosexuality was around before all modern religions were. Besides, the only things unnatural in this world are things that are made in a science lab. Seeing as how the technology for genetic engineering wasn't around over 3000 years ago, I am going to assume that natural people decided that they prefered the same sex as opposed to the opposite.

I am still wondering where someone flaunted being gay? The OP asked about gay linkshells. Thats as close as it ever came to flaunting. Other people said they knew of some from the past, and one person said to look them up in game. OOooo, such flaunting and throwing it in your face. The fact of the matter is that you are so anti-gay that you find any hint of homosexuality to be flaunting. By that logic, your saying you like the opposite sex means you are flaunting that in front of gays. That would be just as rude to them.

When I said you needed a life, I didn't mean that all you do is play games and surf the net. I meant, you need something better to do than put down people that are different then you. Either you are an angry-fat-webtoed-evil-dwarf, a crochety old man that yells at kids for stepping on his lawn, a closet gay who hates himself for what he is, or a right wing nut.

I can say that last part because, for the vast majority of the major issues, I myself am a conservative. This just happens to be one of the few topics that I disagree with them on. So thinking that anyone that opposes you is a leftist is just plain dumb and simple minded of you. Again, I ask, why are you in this thread, and don't give me the crap about it's a free country. I served in the Navy for 6 years and part of that was so people could voice their opinions and not have to worry about someone like you putting them down for it.

Unless you have something good to say, I am done. If the OP is still looking for a good LS, look me up in game. HouseofDarkness is always looking for good players. We are fairly new but really helpful.

Too much to quote from above:

For one Codyy being gay or not is beside the point. His attack and mentality is where the problem is. If you have not figured this out yet with my post your more of a moron that I first took you for.

Secondly this topic with you has become cyclic and redundant. Go back and read my last post before this one all points apply the same as before except for this post in responce to your above post.

By the way mr idiot. I never once said the OP flaunted anything. I said I respected him so read my fking post.
