UK lesbian with chars on Scepter Of Ragnos (English EU) checking in! *pom-poms*
Too much to quote over the pages, but I have read every comment and I just want to say...
Friends/colleagues/facebook-peeps-who-I-know-but-can't-really-call-friends all talk about their lives. What's going on, where they have been, who they did it with. Life, love and all that.
So why can't I? I talk about my lovely lady and people look at me strangely, stop talking, or start asking the dreaded questions... "When did you choose to be gay? Have you always been? Have you ever..." etc.
Other posters have talked about being "out" and how it splinters us as a community away from society as a whole. I'm not trying to be special... I'm being normal. Living a normal life, doing normal things, talking about normal day-to-day with my girlfriend. And this community, this thread allows me to. That's why I'm all for the SWTORLGBTQ community!
So with that said, once I get my pc fixed methinks I will be making an alt on Jekk-Jekk Tarr. My shifts at work should allow me to gay out with mah guildies
(As a side note, and on the subject of use of insulting words, gay is still used way to often to describe crappy things. And the fgt word is damned awful, anyone who uses it gets no respect from me whatsoever. Hence why many guilds I have been in through other MMOs have had one less member as soon as they use it. Kinda hard to do an instance without a healer right?)
