[Gay Friendly Guilds??]

Point Proven: I was in an Opp with my husband and my Guild last weekend. First, yes, we have been together 8 years and legally married for two. He has been by my side through several heart and leg surgeries and is my all. We never discuss our life on game play, just not that kind of people. I have been with this guild for a few months and several of my real life straight friends are in it, but to the point. Some new players began talking about Kat Jenner and the conversation went down hill quickly. The one said he is a semi-**** anyway, so I asked what is Semi-****? Response, "It's only gay if you look them in the eye!". I told him to mind his comments, but they continued. "I don't know why your offended, it's not like I said, "they are all ****** and should die!" I and my husband both left the Op before the last boss. I remained in voice chat. To listen to the other comments.

 

I was more disheartened to realize three officers who were in the op either join in with comments or condemn us for leaving the op. None of they spoke up during the original comments. I like some of these people and enjoyed playing with them, but know I feel uncomfortable socializing or simply playing with the group.

 

One person stated why would you need a gay Guild you should feel safe in any guild and everyone is gay friendly. Not the case. If they would of just been picking at me I would of just jumped back in, but they were attacking people of a certain group for no reason other than amusement. Officers you need to have responsibility when ignorance flies. Sorry had to get this off my chest.

 

Long-dead topic I know, but this is exactly why gay people eek specifically LGBT-friendly guilds. They don't have to have a majority LGBT membership, but they need to make it clear right from the beginning that what happened above is not acceptable and have officers who are prepared to intervene.

 

I am delighted to say that the majority of players seem to have no problem with LGBT people. But only a minority would actually speak up when derogatory comments are made. That is the case in most guilds. To those who remain silent, thinking "It's not my place to intervene" I would say:

 

If they do not cause you even to speak, protected by the anonymity of the internet, of what value are your principles?

 

So yeah. If you start a guild and intend it to be LGBT-friendly, you have to say so.

[Companion SGR]

Well, now that gay marriage is legal in the States, the UK and Ireland as well as across much of Europe, and now that the expansion with SGR options has been out for a couple of months, I am assuming that Glowrod (s*****r) and the others who were so mortally offended by the prospect of SGRs have stopped playing the game.

 

This leaves me free to confine myself to saying, "Thank you, Bioware, for including SGRs in the expansion. You have enhanced my gaming experience. The expansion has a great story, and I've really enjoyed it."

[New LGBT Guild]

I would love to join, do you guys have many events?

 

We haven't had many yet - we have one planned for next month, and there will be an RP event soon. Look me up in game. Rep side: Manheim, Mahkus, Beajei

Imp side: Warnth, Ay'jay, Zaw'min

[New LGBT Guild]

Awesome! I'll be joining both when I get back in a week or so. See you then folks!

[New LGBT Guild]

A little late to this maybe, but I'd certainly be interested in joining an LGBT guild on Progenitor too!

 

It may not be too late! What's your char's name (and faction)? We may be able to start a guild, which would be jolly.

[New LGBT Guild]

Yes we could indeed.

[New LGBT Guild]

Nope. I've given up. Pity, really, but there we are.

[Before you select The Progenitor as your new home, remember it's a RP-PVE server]

I'm bit newbie to RP and always try to respect other players. But tell me one thing, cause i don't get it. U call /say chat in cantina or any other place as RP or what? I saw many those chatters many times. For i thought that RP is Story mode and RP groups on FP or OPS.

 

RP is when you interact with other players In Character (IC) - in other words you say to them what your character would say. This tends to be done in public areas such as cantinas. A sure sign that people are engaged in RP is that instead of speaking on /General, they are using /Say, so their conversations aren't broadcast across the whole planet. In theory, you can join in any RP in progress, but in practice it can be tricky - look for an RP thread for more information.

 

And for goodness sake, most of the posters on thus thread, stop being such RP snobs! Who cares what a character's name is unless it's offensive? If you don't want to RP with them, ignore them. Speeders on Fleet don't go into RP areas, so what's the problem? Most non-RPers, when asked politely, will stop disrupting an RP in progress. How about instead of judging and ignoring newbies, who may not have understood what and RP server is and might in addition be trying to play the game in a foreign language, you encourage them in a friendly manner to join in, show them what they are missing and generally enhance their gaming experience? Not suggesting you do it all the time, of course, but to read some of your posts you'd think that RP was somehow a sacred trust and that interlopers should be stoned to death. This is a GAME. Get a grip! Swallow your annoyance, hit ignore, and let people get on with having fun their own way.

My main is Zawmin (sage) and I have an Imp version of him called Zaw'min (sorc). Of my alts, I am most likely to be on Karsten (scoundrel) or Mahkus (vanguard).

[LGBT Players - Check in here!]

Hi everyone,

 

Gay man checking in. If you see a Jedi Consular on Progenitor running around topless, it's me in my energy armour.

 

Really pleased to see all the friendliness and general fluffiness on this thread. I'm thinking of starting a mainly LGBT but straight-welcoming guild. Especially for RP and PvE. (in RP I've been in a small minority, and it would be fun to have a pinker crowd).

 

Big shout out to all who've checked in. MTFBWY and all that.

[New LGBT Guild]

I've been playing a while, and I haven't found any straight-friendly (i.e. primarily LGBT) guilds on the progenitor. Would anyone be interested in starting one with me?

[LGBT Players - Check in here!]

I'm a gay player. In the gaming semse, rather than the sex bomb sense. I suspect there are many of us.

[Same gender relationships clarifications?]

I never wanted to get into an MMORPG. I avoided WOW. I bought this game because EA took flak for including same-sex storylines. A blaze of glory in the media and FB. Now they seem to have quietly dropped it. This makes me very cross indeed. False advertising, etc.

 

Particularly irksome is the fact that they sideline this discussion and just ignore the requests for information. It's like being in the closet. An online dont-ask-don't-tell.

 

Shame on you, Bioware and EA. Shame!
