Would anyone be interested in a new corp aimed at lgbt players? Due to falling out with a couple of corps I have created a one character, and can comfortably afford the cost of starting a corp, just pitching it out their as an idea really. No flamewars on this one please! Well except caldari suck :P

Firstly i would like to ask the question "WTH is a LGBT player?"
I'll ask a second question once the first has been cleared up.

All good, but you need to realize that the only reason people post in GD is for whining, trolling, nerfing discussion, jita threads, and pushing the next half-arsed stupid idea onto the rest of the community. Legitimate threads have no place here.

Personally, I couldn't care less what the real-life sexual preferences of a pilot's controller are, as for the "in-character" sexual preferences, well, that's mostly flavour and not much else. I don't enforce my personal preferences over this matter on corp members, but then again I would be surprised if any of them would be significantly prejudiced over such trivial matters.
So, I don't see a reason to create such a corporation... but then again, I've seen MUCH sillier reasons to create a corporation, so if you feel like doing it, go right ahead and create it, then start advertising.
I mean, what's the worst that could happen ? You don't get players ? Well, you don't get any if you don't create it, so one reason downed. You get wardecced ? People wardec other people all the time anyway, and RL sexual preferences are the LEAST of your worries (besides, you could even argue that it's RL harassment if no pertinent reason is given), so that's another reason downed. Go right aheah, I'd say, just create it and see where things lead to.

I'm confused... is this serious ??
ROFL
what reason could their be for this.... seriously half or more of the in game females are RL males and ingame males is sometimes females RL..... and you feel the need to make a corp for sexual alternative people ! LOL well sign us all up
I have nothing against people of other sexual orintations, but seriously this is LOL !
the fact that we are talking about this in a internet Game is LAME !
but the best of luck with it....
let me help : "Blue oaters Club" hey that would be a great name
and YES caldari suck don't we all know that by now (suck as in being bad )

Yeah, I doubt that. At the very least your immature comments make you sound like you're ****ing 12. Let me give you a clue - people with things in common in real life, especially those often disriminated against, like to band together and share their experiences. It's really pretty simple. Now why don't you let others do what they will and they'll do the same for you

And to the OP: You should give it a shot - it can't hurt. People may be more reticent to admit it here on the forums than they might be to actually join your corp. Good luck
LOL I happen too have many friends of other sexual orintation than me, thank you very much
hehe you seem offended, I didn't say anything that judged people of other sexual orintations, perhaps you read a part of my text in a...... special way.
all I sayd what that it was ROFL to make a corp in a game about it..... much the same way that it would be to make a black people corp a asian corp a judes corp and so on and on and on.... but hey have I offended Black asian and judes now ????? LOL lets Relax now miss....

I'm not really sure what a "special way" is... anyway, I'm personally not offended. I just have some pretty close friends who are LGBT and I see what they have to face on a day to day basis. But there are Chinese and Indian and countless other specialty corporations in Eve. There's even all womens' corporations. I just don't see how a LGBT one is any different. I'm also in a ****y mood. I do apologize if you really meant no offense. There are just so many others that would have said similar things to what you said and have meant offense with their comments.

Edited by: Kahega Amielden on 31/07/2008 02:26:02 Segregating yourself is stupid. If you start a group that only accepts gays/lesbians/etc., then you pretty much justify the actions of any corp that boots you for it.

Great. So you're not going to complain if other corps kick you out because we straight people who have things in common want to band together without having to deal with the gays/lesbians?

Well done, you fail at reading.
Nowhere did the op say it was an exclusivly LGBT corp, infact he actually said the exact opposite.

Why bring the problems of RL into a game? A game is supposed to be a place to relax, have fun, not be yourself for a while ... When you start bringing things like racism, sexism, etc. into it, you are just bringing all the baggage from RL that you were supposed to escape from. Do not start a corp based on such things, create a LGBT chat channel.

What is the point of this? I know why french corps exist (nobody else will recruit them), but what does sexuality have to do with how fast you can melt someone else's face...wait...don't answer that...

Feel free to read the whole thread, and apologise when you get to the bit about me not really caring about the player/characters sexual preference. Its not a corp *about* being gay, or whatever. Just an idea for a corp with like-minded people. IRL I frequent 2 bars one gay, one straight. I dont do anything in one I wouldnt in the other, its just nice to hang around people in the same boat as you, so to speak. I don't know of any LGBT group that turns down striaght members tbh, it would be the opposite of the acceptence they are seeking for themselves.

If you go about pretending to be straight, or just totally ignoring the sexual side of yourself when playing eve, its no fun. I come online to relax, and that doesnt involve hiding part of who I am.
