Heya rock on Fayth i think its great that you are looking for a gay supergroup and I hope that either you find one or create your own. I have two on american servers and I love all these people talking about how it should be kept a secret and it will hurt you to promote yourself like that...its stupid. Being open about who we are is how this world rejects hatred and bigotry. If someone says something to you that you feel is bigotry then report it. The only thing that scares these people is that it means that there is another non violent way of spreading the word that equality has many homes. Bigots will say slurs and such on any given day but maybe if enough people start to realize that there are chances to stand up for equality then others will join too. Let the bigots hide who they are and be quiet cause we are a strong community that has lived through alot and we will never be silenced. Best of luck Fayth and hopefully your sg will be full in no time

I wish we could all get along - I'd love that. But until the hypocrisy comes and those who demand equality are equally willing to give it, I don't think it'll happen.
(NB: This doesn't apply to everyone demanding equality just, in my experience, the ones demanding it louder than everyone else, rather than trying to live their lives)

But the OP wants to politely make a flaming bunch - surely that's ok?

Like I said above....
It's always better to just keep this crud to yourself, then nothing happens.
Now nothing good will come of this thread, just flames and argueing. Has happened everytime I have seen a thread like this anywhere on a GAME forum.

Of what POSSIBLE importance is it? THEY'RE NOT REAL! They're characters in a computer game, and sometimes a comic. They don't HAVE a sexuality, because they're figments of someone's imagination.

And FFM is right. Unless it's a plot point for a story arc in the game, it has no relevance - it's not even a speculation point, because really the only speculation you have about sexuality in this game is that Manticore got lucky on his wedding night and that Dominatrix is very, very sick indeed.

I love it when bigots or people that just dont want their to be equality try to preach hate to make their point. And they like to try to make equality seem selfish or a goal thats unreachable. lol. Pride is strength be it gay pride or pride in humanity for being able to say that all are created equal and not let some bigots and their beliefs stand in the way of rights and life of others.
I think this crap doesnt belong on a game forum. This is a topic for quite a different forum.
I love it when people preach a bunch of words which barely manage to make any sense and that fails to address the issues at hand and disregards the opinions of others.
If you want to get along with others, just get along. Don't jump into their face and go "I'm this type of person."
It's like walking along the street and being jumped upon by charity workers who don't seem to understand that one of the quickest ways to put someone off donating is to be aggressive about it.

Although, oddly enough.. if I ever create a new toon and hit 'Random' for a laugh, why do I always get toons in pink. Not a little pink, no... just a massive heap of PINK!
Could just be me setting it off though. :P

You can't really say that just because someone isn't openly lacking sorrowfulness that they must be straight - Doctor Khan could be a fabulous cook - Ernesto Hess might only be staying with the Council because he likes the company of muscular young men in uniform - Black Scorpion could watch "Sex in the City" of his own free will - but if it hasn't got anything to do with their missions, then it's not likely to be mentioned at all.

Golden girl I think you missed the mission where you had to recover black scorpions sex in the city box set from synapse.

I know nobody has yet really started flaming or beating on each others beliefs (quite an achievement given the subject matter) but I'm thinking it might be time to take a break, step back and generally agree to disagree on some points.
I doubt anyone here would reduce the topic to flame-bait. You all seem like nice, intelligent people (and I KNOW Floating fat man and Myopic Aardvark are) but these types of things always seem to draw in the intolerant.
I vote we all agree that segregation is bad, acceptance is good and people in superhero games deserve their privacy respected sexuality wise.
Friends are just enemies that haven't betrayed you yet.

However this assumption is indeed a reasonable one
Another is Sea Witch and im sure the list could go on and on.

Wonder who else there is? (Probably a topic for another thread).

Lord Recluse has a rager for me. I can say this with the assurance of a thousand suns behind me.
Fayth i hope you find the sg that you are looking for and if not I hope you start one. Having your own sg is fun and adds to the whole cox game.
