Same Sex Marriage

i have nothign for or against gay marriage people can do what ever they want with it.
but i never understood why people need to get married in games? ie MMOs
matter fact i think they should just leave marriage out of games

I think anyone who goes out of the way to be upset about same sex marriage/dating should really take a few minutes to look and see what their problems are. Really now...

I waited years to marry my husband in XI and here, its not my fault 70% of the male population like to play miqos!

Also LBGT community I love you<3

Speaking of ingame marriage in general, disregarding whether it's opposite or same sex marriage, I think people read too much into it. It's just an additional activity that some people might find fun. Just like not everyone cares about gathering or crafting, seasonal events, relic weapons or grinding dungeons for Darklight pieces or housing. I personally find all the non-battle activities available to be a lot of fun, but I also participate in adrenaline driven content as well.

I honestly thought SE knew better by now. Looking at some of the NPCs in-game I thought SE was avoiding discrimination rather than promoting it. :\ Was proud of them for that.
I suppose we're just going to have to deal with REAL LIFE religious views effecting what we do in a GAME that has nothing to do with it.
Disappointed and perhaps lost some respect for them... I'm sure there are plenty of other games out there I could play that treat people equally.

Nuinn, your a star!!! and i love your Siouxsie sig!

They still listen to our opinions on the matter. And the gaming community benefits from having more maturity than the haters, not less. Both
aming Organizations and People will appreciate SEs support on this issue.

:D FINALLY, after 2 years, someone knows what my sig is about /highfive ! <3

This really becomes a problem if there is (which there always is) somekind of incentive to getting an ingame marriage. If I get somekind of xp boost from playing with my spouse, or an equipment that makes us teleport to the other's location, or anything like that; then it should be available to everyone regardless of the association. If they are really uncomfortable with calling it marriage, then allow people to become blood brothers/sisters or something that gives the same advantages.

I'm gay and don't feel like I need to fight this fight in the game. But I don't want some priviledges to be unavailable to me because I or my partner don't want to play a female graphic.

Personally most RPG players seem pretty open to the idea, but it could have implication with being able to release the game in certain areas of the world who ban Same sex mariage.

So on the one hand they alienate the homophobes, on the other they alienate gay players. Just don't allow in-game marriage and everyone is happy.
