When I first joined the game three years ago there was some activity in LGBT events and communities.
These days not so much. There are LGBT, GAY, and a GLBT channels, but the are organized by defunct corporations and I can't get in contact with them.
Would those of us playing that are queer enjoy a place to hangout in game and chat? Would you like to have in game events?
I am NOT talking about a corporation!
Let's discuss what we as a community want to do. |

What I have trouble with is the word 'gender.' I am not a 'gender' and don't know how I couldn't possibly be one. The proper term is 'sex.' 'Gender' applies to a word.
I don't know how, why, or when this changed. All I know is, whenever I see a form nowadays to fill out my 'gender,' I just leave it blank. |

Sex is now purely biological, while gender is how you identify sexually (and also la table, das auto etc. grammatically). Passports and other forms asking for physical identity should probably just ask 'sex'.
Why does your name have an S at the end is of greater concern. |

Lesbian and Gay technically are the same thing as well so it seems redundant. Also I don't see why they keep adding letters. You are either gay, bisexual, or straight. Some trans people are gay, some are bi, some are straight. Technically if you have the brain of a girl and you're attracted to boys, I guess you'd be straight then. |

We want be cohesive and unified but different and segregated at the same time.

Read "Forever War". Society changes. Who knows, maybe we will live in completely other world in few decades. We would not have to describe our differences then and tell everyone he is different. Everyone will assume the other person is different on some level and no one will be bothered by it. The society will change together with culture and human communication norms.

Connectors etc. have a gender. Living organisms have a sex.
As to why it changed, sex is a naughty word and so those of a delicate disposition preferred "gender". |

To be fair, the guy's looking for a community to hang out with, specifically, one he feels like he'd be the most comfortable in. I don't see this as having anything to do with identity politics, it's just like anyone else looking for a community they relate to. To be fair though, OP, there are a lot of communities in this game that you would probably feel comfortable in. Don't restrict yourself to one little chamber. I love diversity, but more than diversity of sexuality/gender/race/etc, I like diversity of ideas. It comes down to this thought experiment - would you rather be in a room with a bunch of different people who all think the same, or a bunch of people who are all the same but think different? It's a false dichotomy, but, think about it.

Surely you like movies, politics, religion and all the other things everyone talks about just the same or does LGBTETC some how have identity politics applied to everything in their lives?
If you want to be part of society then be part of it. The most interesting thing about you isn't your sexual preference and it doesn't need to be the first thing you say after your name. |

Everyone looks for smaller communities to be a part of, in both this game and real life. They are not separate communities, but rather, communities within the wider society. What qualifies a community for your participation is up to you. The OP wasn't posting about identity politics, the OP was asking about the existence of one such community. You and others like you really need to read posts before knee-jerking at them like this.

Quote:2. Be respectful toward others at all times.
The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
6. Racism and discrimination are prohibited.
Racism, gender stereotyping, hate speech, and sexism are not permitted on the EVE Online Forums. Derogatory posting that includes race, religion or sexual preference based personal attacks and trolling can result in immediate suspension of forum posting privileges.
7. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.
Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political affiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.
27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.
Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster. I have gone through this thread and cleaned it up. Everyone in Eve deserves to find a community where they feel welcome! If you're not interested in helping the OP find or create such a community, please steer clear of this thread. Thanks!

Usually I smell troll when this kind of thread pops its head, because I wonder what does sexual orientation have to do with playing EVE Online, or playing videogames at all.
We don't care who do you 'love' as long as it's consensual and between adults. So why did you come here? To play videogames or to discuss your sexual orientation with people not interested in it?

I would hazard a guess that several of the larger organizations have sub groups that address this. Goons seem very active in proclaiming themselves and others as Gay.
What I DO know is that CCP takes a dim view of any persecution based upon race, creed, or sexual preference. If that happens? Report it. please.

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. |

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
6. Racism and discrimination are prohibited.
Racism, gender stereotyping, hate speech, and sexism are not permitted on the EVE Online Forums. Derogatory posting that includes race, religion or sexual preference based personal attacks and trolling can result in immediate suspension of forum posting privileges.
7. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.
Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political affiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.
27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.
Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster. I have gone through this thread and cleaned it up. Everyone in Eve deserves to find a community where they feel welcome! If you're not interested in helping the OP find or create such a community, please steer clear of this thread. Thanks!
Sorry, I disagree.
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.

Why isn-¦t sexual orientation as valid as say ... what country your from or what language you speak ?
With your logic nation specific corps and language specific chatt channels shouldn-¦t be allowed either.
Finally if I understood the OP correctly this was more a question to open a chatt channel for the LBTQ-community and just like say ... the hauler channel or EVE-Scout said channel could be used in addition to the users regular channel(s). |

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. |

Why was my post deleted? I simply asked how asking for a LGBT channel was different from asking for a "white people" channel (which would obviously NOT be allowed). Can someone explain to me what the difference is? Is my ancestry somehow LESS important to my identity then my sexual orientation?
Which brings me to my point. If you allow one, you have to allow the other, or just admit that you're biased to one side. I get that Eve Online is not a democracy, but I would like to hear someone just admit that there is a CLEAR bias towards one special interest group. |

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". |

Queer for the longest in the States was used as a slur against gays. Much like the Fa-word, or N-word. However, in recent years the Gay Community has started to take it back, and turn it into a positive expression. Without going Political, the Identity Politics craze/hysteria/division, along with Social Justice Warriors, has tarnished a lot of the other groups as "wannabes" in the sight of some. Again, this is from my experiences in Florida, in the Gay Community here.
Me personally, I think adding on letters is a unnecessary complication. GLB (gay, lesbian, bi), or GSB (gay, straight, bi) are perfectly fine without the rest of the Letters, and the Identity Politics behind them, interfering.

I don't think people who share an interest and / or something in common having a chat channel or something are segregating themselves. I don't see that as a big deal. Even corps made of people with a common interest or identity aren't a problem, imo. EvE has and has had many, many such groups / corps. No Problem.
OP, make a channel. You'll probably get people talking there.

Is there even a way to search for a channel that is intended for this kind of special interest group (i.e. where you'd expect at least a few hundred people potentially interested in taking part)?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't find a better way to search for existing channels than typing in a possible name, and looking to see if I got a new channel or connected to an existing one.
After that I lost interest in channels except those that CCP automatically add to new characters' "Channels" window. Even if an interesting special-interest channel was started at some point, too many potential participants (especially new players) will never find it.
FWIW I also think that CCP should provide the possibility for a character to be a member of more than one organization. The "strict hierarchy" of Alliance/Corp/Character may be needed for some things, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing the game should allow. |

The best channel I can think of for a list if anyone is making one is the 'Women Gamers public' channel. I don't hang out in here personally and I'm not a moderator or in the real WGoE (Women Gamers of Eve) channel so I'm not sure what it's really like day-to-day in there but anyways in the MotD it states being trans-friendly.
Here's a link for more information from their MOTD
Gaining access to the secure channel requires a voice interview with one of the moderators.

The "strict hierarchy" of Alliance/Corp/Character may be needed for some things, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing the game should allow. IMO another set of organizations that allowed many-many relationships and multiple memberships would be a good addition to EVE. It's something I've seen requested a fair bit over time, and have proposed in the past should look something like corp search in the recruitment window.
That said, people are increasingly switching to oog chat systems like slack and discord, which are pretty useful because discord has block/ban admin functionality, and slack has the functionality to log all chats (see tweetfleet slack and log system).
Instead of asking CCP to change ingame chats - which might take a lot of development time - it might be better to home in on these new services and see if someone (cough Steve) can come up with a public database of chat channels that are publicly available so people can search for channels by interest. Generally player run initiatives exceed what CCP can do so it's worth supporting the development of those long term.

Most chat channels aren't password protected. Particularly in large Corps/Alliances, coalition channels that are for all members, many intel channels, etc.
So the lack of search gives each channel some opsec. Would be sort of busted if we could look up local intel channels while roaming and then just lurk in them.
Would be good if when making a channel, there was an opt in to a search function though. That would be a great improvement. |

That would be a great improvement. This is a sensible accommodation to the current setup of EVE.
But we could get the same result with another layer of grouping, separate from the current Corp/Alliance thing.
The tech's not so hard, but ofc for CCP there are always competing activities. OTOH I think it would be very high value. I've wanted this in every multiplayer game I've ever played (not that many though - only 3). In each case there was the usual strict hierarchy, and in each case I wanted something more flexible that didn't require the same kind of "loyalty" a Corp usually wants.
I won't give an example because I'm tired of the "if it's not EVE yr a moron" mindset here, but I have a perfect one:
My "normal Corp" activities were a small part of the game for me. I spent over 80% of my time on something else (because it was the most fun the game offered to me - others liked other things ofc). I did this with people I knew and liked playing with, but we had no practical way to link up via a stable game-supported separate grouping. This cost us o+Ñpp+Ñortunities to do things together, and made it a lot harder for pother people to find and join us.
I'm not there, *really* wanting a second layer of in-game organizations, with EVE yet, but I've only played for 8 weeks or so this time. It's likely I will get there later. The lack is very unlikely to make me leave - but having it would have a moderate but significant effect on how likely it is that I stay. |

Gay is a blanket term used by straight society to cover a range of behaviours. Queer is used in gay media to mean someone who wants their sexuality to be a social irritant that plays with expectations, it can be part of any other sexuality. In the time of Juvenal, men were considered either passive or active, everything not a man was a potentially subdued victim. At that time there were so many eunuchs in the middle east they virtually constituted a third gender. It was only after the controversial topic of how babies were made was scientifically nailed down that the possibility of being queer came about. So Gay generally means you prefer your own gender. Queer means you prefer something other than social norms prescribe and you want to know what people think about that. The current normalisation of a range of orientations works against queers, since where everything is ok, nothing can be outrageous. TLDR the world is turning beige and grey.

The current normalisation of a range of orientations works against queers, since where everything is ok, nothing can be outrageous. TLDR the world is turning beige and grey. Outrageos? I find many things people call outrageous, but those things are specific to any highly differentiated group of human beings. Homogenized groups are rather boring. Imagine army of identical robots, extreme case. I find it scary. Dehumanized. I like some differences across the spectrum, its so human like to argue, it spices up the life.
But in future we may move to some other topics to argue, because this field of discussion will be leveled out by culture and science. As we dont discuss the advantages of pikes over clubs sitting in cave anymore.

No, there isn't. That's why when CCP removed all official non-supported language channels because of Russian players harassing Ukrainian players at the Ukrainian language chat and vice-versa, the player made replacements had to be listed in a sticky thread in this very forum. |

Well, it was when Russia invaded Ukraine, so throw a coin and figure who started harassing who over the chat channels...
IMO CCP should have grown some galls and drop the banhammer on the offenders like playing Whac-A-Mole, rather than punish every non-supported language community. Final result was that 2 misbehaved and 54 suffered the consequences. |

Well now I have 3 likes over a vanished comment about why non supported language chats were removed because of RL and chat misbehavior... This thread is going places and I still can't figure why should someone ask for a ingame chat channel specific for sexual/love inclination in a place where the only thing is certain that we share is a) EVE Online and b) language.
I can see it as a grassroot move, strangers accidentally find themselves sharing an interest (like the loose LAGL community) and that gives birth to a chat channel, but I fail to see as the opposite, "I have a special interest, so where's my community?" Why should even be a community for everyone?

We would be discussing just different entry points, and the results would be the same. So I dont know why we even discuss it? Lets go straight to action.

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.
Indeed, as Querns also mentioned, we have a social group called "Queerswarm" that' resides on Jabber and Mumble. We're fairly active, and if you are in Goons or in an allied Imperium alliance, you can find information within the recruitment center.
Also, we have a rainbow bee logo. :) |
