Is it true...?

Hello,

I really-really wanted to know if Virtue was the server with the most amount of homosexuals? Please don't get upset with me for asking but the reason why I'm asking is mostly because I'd like to join a group/team where I'll be sure to be accepted.

Thank you very much

Whether or not it was, it will be now.

Offering a serious reply; I'd say you're going to find the CoH community very accepting, regardless of which server you try. There are occasional lapses that one might encounter anywhere, but if one were to find an unfriendly or intolerant reaction, and especially a harassing reaction, then that would be a problem that /gignore or even a petition would be best suited to addressing. I don't have the text in front of me, but harassment of this sort would surely be considered a violation.

Historically, I believe the Victory server has been considered the unofficial GLTB friendly server (that's what the Paragon Wiki states on http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Servers ). But again, you should enjoy playing CoH on any server you choose to try, including Virtue.

I believe that someone might have just called all roleplayers gay, and thus dubbed Virtue the gayest server as a result.

But Victory is where the LGBT community squats (no pun intended) as far as I know.

Thank you very much guys,
I'm a new player so it's a problem for me to start on a different server

Even so, this is the RP server, which USUALLY means openminded people. Lemmie put it this way: the only time I've ever heard anyone gay-bash, it was in a PuG, and he was asked to stop repeatedly. When he didn't, the leader booted him, and most of us thanked him for doing so.

For me any player in the game is asexual, this is a game, what ever you do in RL is not my business.

What i mean is that i dont want to know the sex, the religion, the color of the skin, the ... you get my point.

Sure, sometime you get to know more, a kid act like a kid, you know its a kid. Or you get hints "... have to log my husband/wife just got home ...".

I'm pretty open myself, i have all sort of RL friends. But it dont matter for me, in game. Anyone that would like to express his sexual orientation , religion, etc, im fine with, but wont change anything to me. If you are fun to play with you fall in my friend list, if you act like a jerk you fall on my ignore list, :P

There are some gay/lesbian-centric super groups around as well. Not sure where they are, or how active, but hunting them down might be a start. But like others have said, I can't remember ever seeing any anti-gay stuff while playing.

I agree 100% with xeaon. People who are unable to separate RL from the game need help. Seriously.

I play both genders. I play various orientations, beliefs, etc. They are characters - nothing more, nothing less. Ultimately, it's for entertainment.

A mature (as opposed to immature) RPer won't care who or what the player is. Oh, I want to get to know you, sure. But it won't matter to me if you're a 35-year old bald guy living in his mother's basement playing a smokin' hot red-headed lesbian catgirl. The only thing that matters to me is can my lesbian demon girl have her number? lol

(Before you start judging, remember...dockworkers need love too.)

(Oh, and I was kidding...I don't have a lesbian demon girl...yet.)

Heh, so far what's been said about the community being pretty accepting in general is true - In all the years playing the game I can't say I've seen any gay bashing going on (unless you take offense at the occasional "Man, that's so gay!" comment), and that's on the various servers I've played on over time.

I'd imagine the gay bashers are also srs bsns pvpers, not just the roleplay bashers

LOL that is true Mrwrk - and those I have seen getting bashed! O.O
Poor felines!

One of my toons is a tiny mouse girl so totally not a cat girl here.

But no RPer or not Virtue tends to be well populated. Finding groups is never overly hard (unless your on redside but that just how redside rolls). Finding regulars to hang out with no matter what your playstyle or lifestyle is is pretty easy. About the only thing suffering around here is PvP and yet there are even some of those if you look hard enough. All in all when suggesting servers to friend that want to try the game out Virtue is always my first suggestion.
