Idk but atleast you won't have to be worried about being ganged up on like this thread as there are less minorites otherwise they wouldn't be such.

Ha, it may not always show, but I actually see you as a pretty chill guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. I think this would be a better thread if people were allowed to give their own personal opinions in a respectful manner without fear of being ganged up on.

So basically what I did but in a nicer way?

I personally think it's fine to have open discussions in threads if it is done so in a respectful manner. That's just my opinion as a community member.

Even though my beliefs don't support homosexuality, but I respect gays and lesbians.

And that's some solid work. But I feel that it's presence might be more deteriorating towards actual gay members in our community than the comments are.

What do you mean? Obviously some of the people in this thread is just posting for shits and giggles, but most on the list are actually LGBT

Who really Gives a shit m8 we need a MYOB thread.

@Delayed this is for you and everyone else (@Andraklas7 ) who seem to be against this thread:
It's obvious that you're both straight, else you wouldn't have this attitude. You can't seem to grasp that sexuality is still a very delicate subject, especially to those who differ from the "norms". People are still discriminated because of their sexual orientation, and you might not think it a problem, but it is.

The LGBT community have since forever been oppressed and it was even at some point treated as a disease. If you had even the slightest understanding of the pain and trouble the LGBT community have gone through, and how hard they have fought to become accepted, you wouldn't respond like this.

And it's not about "agreeing" with people who are of a different orientation than you, it's about accepting them, and not judging them. Now you might not judge them, but many people do, sadly, and that's why the LGBT people often have a bigger need to express their sexuality; because they, as the most active of all, fight for sexual liberation, and fight against those who seek to silence them.

This thread is not "inappropriate" if you find people expressing their sexuality "inappropriate", it's probably due to a few problems of your own.

I disagree on the fact of the deletion of my posts, but I do agree that I could have stated a few things in a nicer manner. I however (if im correct) did not post anything that was degrading or offensive towards the LGBT community. That is unless you think asking at the same time stating what does your sexuality matter is an offensive thing to say.

From what I see and from what I hear from talking to people, a lot of them are misconceived on my statements and given that has been said, I am NOT homophobic.

This is all I have to say here.

I get it. Although your aggressive questions combined with your lack of understanding for the LGBT community came off a bit weird...

Who gives a shit? If you feel the need to talk about your sexuality on here you need some irl friends, I don't wa

i agree with you. Your sexuality does not matter in any way on world of f ucking Warcraft. Coming out on a forum where nobody knows you is not brave, sorry. Tell your parents and your home boys then I'll pat your back.

Weird how much shit this thread sparked, considering how many off topic threads are made each day...

And that's all good and dandy and I realize it's a big step for some, I'm not taking anything away from that, but it's not something to be particularly proud of in my own opinion.

Keep your opinion to yourself

People get killed in certain parts of the world for having a certain belief or being a certain ethnicity (religion, race, etc), that doesn't mean we need to make a separate thread about it on a website pertaining to world of Warcraft and tinking.

But we could

Are you serious? I choose not to come out because I live in a largely homophobic country.

You may be living in a bubble, but it's a big f ucking deal to come out in some parts of the world. I guess I'm not brave enough because I don't wanna be shit on by 90% of the population.

He's definitely a bottom

Y'all should come to the Amsterdam Gay pride, we could make it a real twink event

Hmm.. I definitely see how you could get pleasure being a leek. I mean check out the hand action this one's getting. I'm red with envy

I don't think resorting to these ad hominem attacks really do either side any justice. Perhaps everyone should take a step back from their computers and put themselves in each other's shoes. If you disagree with someone's opinion, maybe you should take that time to enlighten their views. Teach them. Help them understand where they went wrong. Give them an example of a view from the other side. Simply restricting someone's opinion and then just labeling them as "ignorant" doesn't really solve any problems. In fact, I would argue it makes it worse. I can respect Delayed's view, as I assume he is a youngster from the ol' US of A, where being gay is completely fine in parts of the country, as it should be. I assume that's why he doesn't see the importance of "coming out" for those who have lived the majority of their lives keeping their sexuality a secret. I do think it was the wrong thread to express this kind of view, but I also don't think it was handled as well as it should have been. It's not as though he directly insulted people for being gay. Hopefully one day being gay won't be that big of a deal, as everyone has their own biology, their own preferences, etc. But until then, I can see why this thread can be relevant to some members of this community.
Just remember folks, POSITIVE discussion can be healthy. We're all on our own journeys through life, and everyone is going to face their own struggles. It's part of the experience. I, as well as many others, see a great deal of importance in the topic of equality. However, it really saddens me when I see other's take the easy road out, and don't help others to see the flaws in their limited scope of reality. Everyone is limited. No one can experience everything. Take the time to help others understand. Any-who, just my 2c.
Congratulations to all of those who have come out. I'm sure it feels liberating, and I'm glad this community was able to assist you in your journey through life. It's helped me before, and I'm glad to see it continuing to help others.

Great post, absolutely love this.

Add Revo to the homosexual list, Moran!

Eh, there tends to be a lot of fake outrage in these situations. Offensive is offensive, and some posts were correctly deleted, but Jamesb did nothing wrong.

And why are they Homophobic? Ah yes, might be that one religion claiming to be peaceful. Not so peaceful after all.
