Confirming that goons do indeed have SIGs for LGBTWTFBBQ (and frequently proclaim that they are indeed gay, whether they actually are or not). Can't comment on how active they are, though. I feel that an ingame community about real world interests that have nothing to do with the (meta)game may not have much staying power. |

We should be discouraging players from isolating themselves in what could very well become closed communities based entirely on sexual preferences.
That's not healthy for the game or community.
While your points may have some value to them, I see another ISD post incoming:
Quote: 12. Discussion of forum moderation is prohibited.
The discussion of EVE Online forum moderation actions generally leads to flaming, trolling and baiting of our ISD CCL moderators. As such, this type of discussion is strictly prohibited under the forum rules. If you have questions regarding the actions of a moderator, please file a support ticket under the Community & Forums Category.
I too find it odd that one would want to create a community based on sexual preference or self-identification inside a game about spaceships, just like I would find an ingame community about Hyundai Motorcycles quite odd. Or Neoliberalism, or Animal Rights. Or a chat channel for the "Straight Community". It simply has nothing to do with the game. It's not like languages, where people simply can't communicate well if they don't speak the same one.
However, if OP wants to make one, and people would like to join him in his effort, I'd say let them. If it works out, and they are happy with it, all the power to them. |

What is the difference between Gay and Queer. Ive always wondered. And for you old schoolers do you mind so many different groups being lumped in together
Queer is sort of a blanket term for everyone who is not cisgender and heterosexual. However, not everyone who falls in that category might identify as queer, potentially due to the pejorative origins of the term, while others may wear it like a badge, which is probably why it's "LGBTQ+" instead of just "queer". |
