I'm LGBT and I don't think the vanlentines quest is offensive.

I think that, in this case, it's not so much a matter of their size that means that they 'should' be catered to but as a simple matter of respect to our fellow players who are a part of the LGBT community.

There are so many communities besides the LGBT that if S.E had to deal with it all, it would be such a hassle and end up like the movie Battleship. African Americans wanting more representation, Asians, Iranians, etc. We shouldn't treat games like that imo.

Maybe not, but I've always been of a mind that if it's something as small as a wording change that would make people happy, it's at least worth considering. I mean, I understand what you're saying: you really can't please everyone and you'd never get anything done if you tried. That's very true, but that doesn't mean that you can't at least consider making small differences here and there!

I also understand that this game is meant to be a living, breathing world. Even the npc's are meant to have their own story in a way. So if the dialog for one of them isn't neutral, it can just as easily be viewed as just that character rather than SQE. However, not knowing that for sure, I don't think it hurts for folks to at least ask if it'd be possible for a more neutral dialogue for the character. SQE doesn't *have* to do it, but it'd make quite a few folks happy to have such a small change. That at least makes it worthy of consideration, doesn't it?

If it was only a small change the LBGT community wanted. From beta forums till now they have more than just small issues with the game.

What on earth are you talking about? I can think of two things the LGBT and allied community has spoken up about: marriage and, most recently, this event. That's it. Both are reasonable things to voice our opinion on.

I remember one about not having gay npcs awhile back.
