Heya,
After an interesting discussion on another channel in the forum about G ay, L esbian, Bisexual, and Transgender people in-game, it was decided to start a channel for GLBTA people who would like to converse. A few people have joined and so far itĘs been a good time had by all. I'd love to have more people join though. If you'd like to come chat with us message me in-game (Nealla Fraer) and I'll send you an invite. BTW, does anybody know how to make the channel open to anyone who wants? If that is even possible. Thanks.

I'd actually be quite interested in joining.
If I recall correctly, when a channel is created, the default is to have open access unless specified otherwise. _________________________________________

Be interesting to see their reason, without being descriminatory. I remember reading about the GMs trying to block a ghey guild in WoW or some other pixie role play thing. Caused uproar.

No, horrible would be burning to death in a car wreck. _________________________________________________________

I'll drop you a line ingame, could be an interesting channel to keep open on otherwise boring nights in space.
And seconded, don't let the trolls get to you. There will certainly be some--always are.

I forsee interest in this channel being a maximum 50% authentic. A large improvement from other ventures such as an all female channel or ex-miss USA/Universe only channels. Which show a large proportion of people strangely not holding any of the recommended attributes for attending. But as long as you welcome people who will obviously be there just to try and listen to something interesting you should find a good amount of success.
I would highly recommend developing a group of moderators early on to help keep it policed so as not to discourage people who come in from being turned off by the inevitable idiots who will congregate. This is my opinion not that of privateer corp, alliance, its member corps, affiliates, minions, pet animals, ex girlfriends, former roommates, 3rd grade gym teachers, late relatives, ontime relatives, |

if i remember correctly forming a GLBT only corp, would count as discrimination,so probably not.good luck to the OP!hope you do well.and are spared the trollers and such!

I just don't see how sexual pref. or gender has any bearings on an online game..
But hey, don't let me stop you.

Not really these days CCP is a company even though its not responsible for the content of its boards companies have been sued over discrimination issues before if they haven't actively tried to prevent them.
As for the channel, its an ok idea, but personally race, gender, sexuality, breakfast cereal preference doesn't have any bearing on how I treat people in game. In fact theres probably more bearing on how many x's are in there name before anything else.
Can't help but worry though that grouping people together based on a certain preference in lifestyle makes it easier for them to become a target of discrimination though.

If you notice the thread title it says "G ay, L esbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Straight" (my emphasis). So there's no preference, exclusion or discrimination there, everyone's included.
I see this as a kind of channel where people are free to be open about their sexuality without fear of prejudice, regardless of what that sexuality is, rather than a channel that's grouping people together based upon their particular sexuality.

Ahem... straight allies. i.e. sympathetic straight folk that help the cause of alternative sexuality, but still like looking at what they don't have. Not your run of the mill straight blokes. ----------------------------

Well, there's certainly the MGRL 
The channel sounds like it could be a fun idea for those who are interested.

Edited by: Nake on 15/01/2007 21:02:28 Interesting venture. Good luck with it.
To the mod: Does this also mean that all I have to do is integrate G ay/L esbian/Bisexual issues into my posts to have guaranteed warnings for all the trolls in my threads?
