I'm going to chime in once more, which I don't normally do, with this. I don't care who you are, what you do, what your preferences are, or what your self-proclaimed deviances are:
City of Heroes is not the appropriate venue for you to publicly explore your sexuality.
Second Life is.

I didn't read the whole thred, but I just have one thing to say about all this.
This thread has inspired me to make a villain whose only purpose in life is to destroy everyone who likes orange soda. He likes Coca Cola, and will NOT accept any of those freaking orange soda slurping nut jobs on HIS planet!

It is hilarious to see people who think they are any different than the animals we see. Doesn't mean you aren't special, just means you aren't special for THAT reason.
[/ QUOTE ]
I find it equally hilarious you think you're the same as a piece of furred flesh that does not communicate, does not build or create, and does not have an immortal soul. I find those traits to be rather special.
[/ QUOTE ]
Psst, plenty of animals communicate and build/create, including the ants mentioned earlier -- they do both.

Wow, that reminds me of the time I was kicked from a team because I said I played a game of football on Thanksgiving weekend.
The bible says you shalt not touch the skin of a dead pig, so I guess I offended them with my sinful ways. 
It was my fault, and I don't blame them for their consistent application of a prescribed moral code.

Unless that story is 100% true, bring the snarkiness in a little. Quickest way to get the thread locked is to make fun of someones religion.
Not someones sexuality, but that is not the point...
Play nice-ish.
tl;dr version:
Was the team leader discriminatory in their actions, as per the EULA? Yes.
Was it right for said team leader to do what he did? No... they could have asked the players to refrain from the RP during their time on the team and not said the EULA breaking comments.
Was it right for the OP to call out this person on the forums, the very same forums that said Team Leader could also read and figure out whom the OP is referring to, even without listing the name? No... the OP reported the person for violation of the EULA, and that should have been it. Period. There was no need for this thread to have ever seen the light of day.
As it was said earlier... IBTL.

[/ QUOTE ]
is right on target.
Whether or not I agree with who you are and what you do has no bearing on the subject.
Something I do may be immensely offensive to people and since I do not want the right to do so taken from me, I refuse to take that same right from anyone else.
When I was a child I learned there is a time and place for everything.
Homosexuality extends beyond what happens behind closed doors, BigDaddyDream; this includes how people communicate with each other in a group in an MMO.
Pheonyx, was this really calling anyone out? No names were mentioned. I don't see something wrong with Psi coming here to say "Does anyone have a problem with this?"
Part of a forum that is part of a community like ours is the aspect of being able to turn to each other, regardless of our differences, for support and sympathy.
Maybe in the end it'll help bring the end to a misunderstanding between two people, too.

There's a difference between communicating and using obvious DPA or making out though.
Let's use a very extreme exemple: Most people don't have something against heterosexuality. A lot would be against two 16 years old making out very indencetly in the cafeteria in front od the 11 years old. Just a little kiss or hug would be accepted but if the guy have his hand under the girl's skirt and he's eating her cleavage in front of everyone, that's a very different story.

And now for something completely different.
I got kicked off a team a few nights back for being 'that Flea jerk from the forums'.
See? Not this or that or something else. No hate there except for me as a person! Huzzah!
But yes, to summarise...
There's RPing and there's going OTT. Nothing against it just some folks wouldn't be comfortable if straight people were making out in front of them, nevermind anything else.
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

I don't buy this for one minute. Public decency is more important than fluffing your ego and libido by flaunting your relationship, regardless of preferences. There's a time and a place for everything.
If you're so insecure about what you're doing that you need to force it on people and then demand their approval, you're doing it wrong.

gee now I feel bad for kicking you :P
actually I draw the line at kicking folks or being rude to folks in game for personality conflicts on the forums .
when im in game im in there to blow off steam and have a bit of fun as long as no ones causing me grief in my pretendy fun time game world I pretty much leave all outside squabbles ...well outside .
im finding this thread rather amusing though 
So, wait. Let me get this straight; you were RPing , with strangers, a terrible sterotype of flaming homosexuals, and were shocked, SHOCKED when someone who doesn't agree with that reacted the way he/she did.

You totally never kicked me.
Besides, it's known that I'm damn scary on whatever I choose to play. Because sanity is optional.

Oh, Virtue.
