Re: Finding a Place to Call Home: Communities Tolerant & Accepting of Gay Gamers

I do have exsperience in this.

Back in the day when Castle Marrach was playable (unlike now) we had a total of four gay players that I knew of--three of whom I interacted with during play, and I myself had a bisexual charater running.

Back then, noone minded them. In fact, the player of Philo became highly respected both as a player and in character. Yaoi (yes, that was the name he played under) was quite flamboyant, but never overboard or irritating with it. In fact, he was quite controled with his play. Alyse's player was lesbian in real life, and wheelchair bound with a muscle disorder--she played her character as a scheamer and vandal to the hilt.

The fourth one I spent the most time with simply because he was a player facing all kinds of crap in RL, so I became a 'counciler' to him...And for the life of me I cannot remember his character name.
