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?

Quote: intersesting idea are there GLBTA corps only as well ?
I certainly hope there isn't a GLBT corp out there, not that im again it - I just don't see why people insist on discriminating. I have many friends, some are g ay, some are l esbians, most are straight, but I don't look on them differently for it. They're my friends, why people insist on segregating themselves from another group simply because of sexual preference goes beyond me.

Odd. Preimptive intolerence for future intolerence.
There is no moral imperative to be tolerant of intolerance.

People very often choose to congregate with others who share the same hobbies/interests/preferences/etc, in order to socialize with people who they know share some common ground with them. This is not only common, but seen in every aspect of social interaction in the world. I can't see how doing so via corps in EvE should garner any special consideration.

Personally I play eve because I dont have to deal with this, thats what RL is for. If I made a corp or chat channel and said it was "for WHITE CAUCASIANS and other people too" I'd be called a racist. yet, you can have your "Open" channel. In all reality, its a method to set yourself apart and be different and draw attention to yourself.

I have to agree... and I certainly hope this isn't construed as trolling by the mods considering mature and honest discourse on the subject can only do good.
As a bisexual in real life, I don't understand the desire for something like LGBT guilds in MMOGs. A channel like in the OP for LGBTers and LGBT-friendly straights might be okay, it's a place to discuss common interests without dealing with discrimination. But a guild of only LGBTers or at least aimed specifically at LGBTers just seems exclusionary, no better than a guild in which no LGBTers are allowed. I am bisexual, it's a part of who I am, but it's not all of who I am. I want to be treated as a normal human being, not as a big "bi" label for harm OR benefit. I want my sexuality to be a non-issue that people accept without even thinking about, not something to be worn as a badge of pride worn to shove into people's faces so I can yell "accept me!" at them. "*** pride" is an alien concept to me, my opinion is that we should be blending ourselves into the fabric of society by encouraging others to view us for who we are in our entirety, of which our sexuality is only one part, instead of badgering them with such a one-dimensional view of ourselves. Not ashamed, certainly not pretending to be straight to fit in, but just being ourselves and forgoing the "Hi, I'm ***" forehead tattoo.
It's like ***-oriented media, some days watching LOGO it's like "At 2, 4, 6, and 8pm, it's AIDS, and at 1, 3, 5, 7PM, Hate Crimes". Yeah, AIDS is a big issue, and yeah, there's a whole lot of discrimination out there still, but this kind of mindset gets really repetitive and frankly depressing, and doesn't reflect the reality of the very large numbers of us just living out normal lives here. At times it seems like it's doing almost as much harm to our acceptance as an everyday part of society as the one-dimensional flaming queen bit-parts that seem to be the only *** characters to make it into mainstream programming.
Whether they're pushing us out or we're choosing to stand out, either way, we're left on the outside.

It's what is known as a 'safe space', somewhere where people who are GLBT can go without getting slagged off by your average 14 year old griefer. I mean it's pretty common for people to use words like**** as an insult or call something *** in MMO's in general. That sort of thing gets pretty wearing on a daily basis so having this is cool for the GLBT posse.
In short \o/ :).

I couldn't agree more.
If you want to be seen as equals, and want to be treated as everyone else is, then don't segregate yourself. (a *** female friend of mine seen this at work, she laughed and asked "why do they need a special channel, are they wanting to group 'cyber'?)
And no, that is not a troll, it is an honest question, and an honest opinion (even if it was a funny comment from her)

Originally by: ToxicFire 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.
If you have a problem with bestiality just come out and say it!

I don't need to know if anyone is g.ay. Or republican. Or methodist.
My tolerance for religion stops when you knock on my door and ask me if I want to know Jesus.
Everything I want to know about homosexuality is contained on the Miami L.esbians collection I own on DVD.
G.ay activists need to stop badgering the public, you are becoming like Jehovah's Witnesses.
And FFS CCP, why is the word "L.esbian" being bleeped out but "fag" is ok?
