Inspired by a certain other off-topic thread that gained a lot of attention recently, I figured MyGaming could do with a spot for all LGBTQI + other gamers to sort of congregate and perhaps discuss stuff that impacts us - gaming or otherwise.
While I use the term "gaymer" a bit tongue-in-cheek - because let's face it, gamers are gamers, and the term doesn't quite encapsulate everyone - but sometimes it's good to know there's a place you can go to talk about stuff that, sometimes, straight people just don't get.
Like how unfair it is you can't romance Garrus with MaleShep in vanilla Mass Effect *cries into hand-painted Team Vakarian banner*
Aside from that, though, I feel MyGaming should be, and is, a place that you can be free to be you - and when it comes to sexuality or sexual orientation, sometimes that can be daunting, and sometimes you can feel very alone in the world.
So think of this as a thread to discuss all things LGBTQI related - even if it's just to ask what LGBTQI stands for.
It can be a place to come out, seek advice, share experiences, or connect with other gaymers, or whatever you feel is relevant (see note below).
Everyone is welcome.
Note: this is a hate-free zone, and forumites who insist on coming in here to stir nonsense (gay, straight, or otherwise) and spew hate or push veiled anti-gay agendas will be dealt with accordingly.
This is a pro-gay thread. If you believe being gay is wrong, disgusting, unnatural, offensive, against your religion, or a choice, you should probably not be here.
This is not a place to defend being gay - we just want a happy space.
