Why does *anyone* make a FC based on commonalities? Maybe because it's nice to talk to people you can relate to, who understand your background better, and so on.

LGBT guilds aren't here only to avoid hate speech. They're also here because some LGBT people have fun talking to other LGBT people.

I don't think any of the LGBT players are actively trying to diss straight players or avoid them. I find it baffling that so many detractors of this thread assume this. There's an Adventure Time-themed FC on my server, and no one's like "How dare they group up based on their commonality! What does Adventure Time have to do with the game? They're segregating themselves and ruining the community! Why are you insulting all the non-Adventure Time guilds??!"

That's how silly and nonsensical these constant criticisms of LGBT guilds sound. The classic "what does this have to do with the game" line is especially flawed. So we're ONLY allowed to talk about FFXIV and never about ourselves or our lives? WTF????

Players in LGBT guilds are glad to group up with straight players, and welcome them in their guilds. Like all players, we just want to have a fun time in this game and have a good social experience.

Maybe you're sincere with your questions and you just come from a place of genuine curiosity and inexperience. If so, then hopefully this answered your questions and no hard feelings.

But the only real reason people would be against LGBT guilds is because they have a bias against LGBT people.

Look at what you wrote. You are using words that segregate you from others not like you (in your mind).

I hear all the time from people that belong to whatever "group" they think they belong to complain that the "majority" group excludes them.

And yet your explanations is filled with reasons you want to be excluded from the majority.

I am not against you forming your own group. Self segregate if that makes you happy. But don't complain that the majority won't accept you because you have excluded yourself.

Your non-participation with the majority does not give you an opportunity to see "the majority of the majority" just doesn't care what you do in your private life as long as you are happy with who you are. I honestly don't know anyone that thinks the way you think "the majority" thinks.

Why can't we all be one group - humans?

Creating groups only creates separation and elitism.
