I actually may be transferring to a different server (currently on Gilgamesh with alt character and poor guy's just soloing for now). Are there any guilds that like to do dungeons together, build up camaraderie, help each other progress through the story, and are quite social?

SerenitySilvermoon - come to Exodus! :-) we love to help each other out with dungeons, and we almost always chat (unless busy). we want to do fate groups together and finish the storyline. We also talk a bit on our FB page when we aren't in-game.

I have yet to come across a situation where sexual preference is the concern of the party/raid/FC. I didn't think about people being gay in game, until this post. Far as I know, there aren't any anti-friendly LGBT FC/LS. I've never been in a party and thought, man that BLM dps is low; bet he's gay. I just think this alienates your community. If people started making race friendly FC/ls, I would find that odd too. Just my two cents, to each their own.

They're needed because of that awkward silence followed by crude comments and rude questions when you make a casual reference to your same-sex partner. They're needed because you might finally talk in vent (something that, for many trans people, takes an incredible amount of courage) and your voice doesn't match the gender you identify as, only to receive endless grief for it. They're needed because though there are no "anti-LGBT" FCs out there that I've seen, there are a lot of very intolerant people, and no one should feel as though they have to hide a part of themselves from their online family (which, for so many, is quite often their only family), as though one tiny slip could bring down upon them a rain of harassment. They're needed because so many suffer greatly and uniquely, and it helps to have an FC that is open and receptive and caring about and, most of all, understanding of those problems.

LGBT-friendly and safespace guilds are needed for all of these reasons and more.

Everything you stated, I don't know how someone could function in everyday life if that's what they're afraid of. That being said, everyone is entitled to play how they like and with who they like. Self segregating yourselves, you guys keep people who normally would never encounter a LGBT person in rl from meeting them in game. Which could change their perception of your community. I myself didn't grow up in an open minded household, it took me meeting lots people of different walks of life to become as open minded and accepting of people as I am. Okay, I am done derailing this thread......as you were.

Why do you think the LGBT suicide rate is so high, especially among young adults? Perhaps if one of those young adults can find a community in this game where they can identify with the people and feel safe, it will be just what they need to prevent them from self harm. It's not about being exclusive. It's about finding a community where you don't have to worry about running into that one other player who is intolerant. And trust me, there are plenty out there.

Would like to add a new Linkshell/Free Company to that list:

Fail Brigade of Hyperion! We weren't really going for the LGBT theme, it just kinda happened, lol. Needless to say, we're all accepting and open.
A lot of us are involved in end-game, too. Everyone is always up for helping~ Lowbie dungeons, relics, raids of all levels, etc.

If any of you are interested, you can contact any of the following:
Ryuhkin Naringo, Refyll Yioa, Teras Elexion, or myself, Ranulf Squires.

My guild is also lgbt friendly, but we're not an lgbt guild. I really don't get this. I'm female, queer and I have many queer and otherwise lgbt members of all genders, am I a lgbt fc? Aren't most? I'm confused, does one just have to not be hostile to lgbt to be considered a part of this list? If not, what criteria is necessary to qualify?

Perfect example, don't many FCs have this just "kinda happen" when they find out half their members, are indeed lgbt and they never thought about it because, well, why should they? I don't get how sexual preference even comes into the topic. Are these dating fcs meant for social/romantic/sexual interaction? If not, how does any nonbigoted FC, open to all, fail to part of this listing?
