If you scare them by saying things like "I'll attack you from behind if you don't give me 1283747382332 Inf!" then... yes.

Funny how straight men think that [censored] men would want to roger them regardless of what they look like or how dumb and stupid they are.

Yeah, it's totally vane - like if you're a straight guy, and you're not fighting off female attention, why would you suddnely have to fight off male attention?

There are loads of g-a-y players in game and i have met a few i would guess there are loads that play and are still in the closet (icon). There is nothing i know of that brings these ppl together if there is let me know by pm pls 
A few years back there was a group of us that would pvp in sirens which kinda made me lol as all the insult about our perceived sexuality were a bit ironic
Quite a few on my global friend list are ragingly and rampantly un-sad

People don't go about advertising heterosexual pride through cities flashing their wares and so on and so I don't get it with homosexuals who do that.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, straight people just snog and bonk in public, condemn people who arent in public, yet want others who arent to hide from the public and be quiet. Its good to see that things have progressed so far.

Yeah cos 2 ppl you have heard about in the Sunday sport are stereotypical of all Straight ppl...

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

1/ the term g-a-y being censored in the first place. I'm g-a-y yet I have to have the way I describe my sexuality in game and on this board, hidden or distorted. Do straight people have the way they describe their sexuality censored or hidden no they don't. I know ppl mean well by saying they are protecting me from bigots but trying to pretend I don't exist is even more insulting than any words from a bigot.
[/ QUOTE ]
I completely agree with your point here psychabilly. There is no logical reason why the word [censored] should be censored and it is insulting that is.
[ QUOTE ]
Late response, sorry. But yes, it's the people who go around screaming 'I'm 'this' way inclined' the give the rest of us a stereotypical name, same thing with being camp. Just makes people feel like they're forced away from you, and splitting yourself from society even more. But anyhow, goodluck if you do make one.
[/ QUOTE ]
Again I stand by what I said earlier, just because someone has asked if there is a [censored] SG out there does not mean that they are going around 'screaming' it in people's faces.
So what if someone wants to create a [censored] supergroup or join one, doesn't mean they are going to go around the game shouting about it. Names can be subtle or not necessarily have any [censored] referrence at all.
From the way some people have described it on this thread even mentioning that you are [censored] is to much of an advertisement.

This is the reason as to why I left UV. It's MOSTLY full of idiots.

It's fitting that the original holder of your account is G-A-Y, and one of the most fun people I've played with. I laughed at your claim because to have your 42 month vet badges doesn't mean that you have the experience when you bought that account about 6 months ago.
I don't know the exact reason why you were kicked from UV (as it was a co-leader who did it) but a begging tell from you every couple of weeks for 2 or 3 months asking to come back makes me suspicious that you didn't leave. Idiots we maybe, whatever you label us as we are happy this way.
Back OT though, I do suspect that being a US 'controlled' game doesn't lend itself too much to a slightly more liberal European philosophy (of course I'm generalising here). There are many things EU players feel are unjust and rightly they voice their opinions, but alas, unless the forum multitudes in US start screaming about stuffs - very little changes.

Let me put it this way, do you see any supergroups that are called STRAIGHT? Or anyone going around saying 'I'm not G ay'
This is all.
And to your first comment, I was saying that having an SG called G AY or something to that extent would be screaming it about, not this topic at all!
[ QUOTE ]
2/ why should g-a-y ppl have to advertise their sexuality? because straight ppl flaunt their sexuality all the time in books in films in life in general and in this game. There are loads of references to straight sexuality in this game but not 1 to homosexuals but then may g-a-y ppl cant be heroes? well at least in Paragon anyway

There really, really isn't. [censored] Pride being a very big part of this actually. We don't see any straight prides about! And yes, there are straight relationships in CoX.. But so what? 'Straight' relationships are considered normal, since most people are attracted to members of the opposite sex.

And does it say anywhere that the OP actually wants a SG called [censored]?? Everyone has assumed from the word go that any SG that encourages [censored] members is going to go around screaming it in your face! Just because someone wants to join a [censored] SG doesn't mean the SG is spending its time in Atlas having [censored] pride marches.

I would say you need to be very careful about your wording there Hidden. Saying that straight relationships are normal is infering that [censored] ones are abnormal, which is quite a homophobic/insulting view point. If thats not what you meant mybe you should rephrase it using the word common.

Relationships are probably 99% mental, what one can't help but feel and think, is natural to one and therefore, being g,l,b is natural.

Why are ppl picking on G-A-Y Pride this is the one day in the year that G-A_Y ppl can go about as they would like, its a day they can be themselves in the streets and have fun, hold hands be a couple go shopping watch G_A_Y films what ever with out the fear of abuse or even violence, now straight ppl get how many days a year to do this ?If I was to walk down the road hand in hand in my town at best I would get abuse at worst arrested or even beaten. Ppl on this thread are taking their freedom for granted.
The so what about there just being straight relationships in COX is that there is no reference point for G-A-Y players, its as if G-A-Y players don't exist or have to be hidden away and be ashamed. Is just adding 1 hero or 1 villain really asking so much ?
As for normal there really isn't such a thing when it comes to sex and sexuality.

--------------READ THIS------------------
Since people are now calling me a bigot (Which is just peachy.)
My point stands on this thread that; A supergroup named G-A-Y would be a BAD idea, for the reason it would just be flamebate. I have NO problems with [censored] relationships (or that would make me a hypocrite.) I just think that exiling other people from a supergroup because of there sexual preference is darnright stupid.
You don't see any Straight only supergroups about? I understand some people may need help, talking to other people who are like them, in being accepted. But there are hundreds of thousands of sites for that, with trained professionals.
I'm sorry if people have read it any other way, I'm just trying to make it clear that creating a G-A-Y only supergroup would make people WANT to troll you, since you're pretty much saying 'you can't be in this because you don't think the same way as us'.
I didn't mean to offend anyone in the slightest, I just think the points some people have made Pro this kind of supergroup are counter able with even a small counter thought. This is all.
Hidden out.
Sorry if any comments I have made have offended Hidden - I will admit I can be a bit over zealous when it comes to GLBT issues and this may be a time of agreeing to disagree.

Tbh I see no difference in having an all [censored] super group than having an all girl or all pvper or all French group, the fact that they are all [censored] is a mute point. The only ppl I can think off having problems with it are in fact bigots and why allow bigots to take away ppls dignity and identity.
As far as the word [censored] goes its an affront that the word is even censored as again the only ppl benefiting from it is the bigots.
I do know that [censored] lobby groups are in fact in talks with gaming companies as the typical experience of a [censored] gamer is bad with 70% experiencing some form of abuse. The only way forward as I can see is to be more open and allow for example [censored] super groups so other gamers can see that we are part of the gaming community too. In fact games like wow already hold a [censored] pride day online and Sims is also moving forward on these issue. I hope NCsoft and COX will start making the right moves too.

Im sorry but how do [censored] ppl think any differently than anyone else?
Its quotes like the above that show its even more important for [censored] ppl to be out and active to show that we are in fact part of the same community.
Okay, post deleted. Psychabilly's responses seem to be just a little too troll like.
Plus he's picking figures out of the air, which I don't like.
nope those figures are real will find the link for you . Not sure i can post to [censored] sites on this forum tho ?
Im not trolling im pointing out the obvious

Lol, so someone disagrees with you and they become a troll automatically?
For your information, the figures arent plucked out of the air.
"49. Which of the following forms of homophobia have you seen in the gaming community, either online or off? (Check all that apply.)
Players use the phrase, "That's so [censored]." 87.7%
Players use the words "[censored]" or "queer" as derogatory names. 83.4%
Stereotypical representations of [censored] characters in games. 52.3%
Refusal of game designers to include well-developed [censored] characters. 42.5%
Invisibility of gaymers and/or the gaymer community. 49.4%
None. 7%
Industry creates atmosphere where [censored] employees feel like they must stay in the closet. 15.7%
This is just from a survey I read, and may not even be the same one. So stop talking out of your butt when trying to disagree.

OK i found the site but its [censored] so will copy,
GLAAD has recently become very interested in the world of video games, seeing it, rightly, as the home of rampant virtual [censored]-bashing. Here are some stats to back up the assertion, from a 2006 survey done under supervision by the University of Illinois:
* 52.7% of those surveyed said the gaming community is Somewhat Hostile to [censored] and lesbian gamers, 14% said Very Hostile.
* When asked what forms of homophobia people have seen in the gaming community, here are some of what the surveyed said:
o 87.7% Players use the phrase, Thats so [censored].
o 83.4% Players use the words [censored] or queer as derogatory names.
o 52.3% Stereotypical representations of [censored] characters in games.
o 42.5% Refusal of game designers to include well-developed [censored] characters.
o 49.4% Invisibility of gaymers and/or the gaymer community.
* When asked how frequently players experience homophobia, those surveyed who responded Always or Frequently equaled 42%. Add in Sometimes and it brings up that total to 74.5%.
* When asked how often those players respond to the homophobia they witness 50.9% total responded Never or Rarely.
So you could see why GLAAD is trying to extend its message of tolerance to the online community.
