I can't believe that someone would take the time to write a huge post just to bash on gay marriages ... especially when it's about in-game marriage. And I think this was already expressed, but what are the last three letters of MMORPG? It stands for role-playing game for those who don't know. So why can't players role-play that their gay? Or be who they really are if they're that way in real life?

nonsense.

For the record, AIDS and HIV is more prevelant in the heterosexual society now thank you very much. This has nothing to do with gay marriage or any type of marriage to begin with. I DON'T have a psychological disorder, YES I'm attracted to other men, NO it has nothing to do with my family, and NO it certainly is not my hormones acting up.

Who says what's normal in this society? We kill each other now a days for the fun of things, but it's a HORRIBLE disgusting crime for same sex marriage? Man, now I KNOW the world is going to end in 2012

I already knew the world was going to end. My credit card predicted it. The expiration date is 12/12.

I knew i would be flamed for that LOL, im not against gay marriage, but in my op. in game weddings are a nice add, but not so important, come on your talking about getting married in a game wtf, i get immersion by playing a class doing the best i can in the heat of battle not in things like getting married or siting on a chair to talk about my aventures.

THIS IS A GAME....

I'm reminded of Peter Molyneux(sp) talking about same sex marriage in Fable, he said it was easier to code it that way instead of going in and creating code to prevent it from happening. So what gets me is there was someone (or multiple people) on FFXI that had to go in and make that code before the wedding ceremonies went live. "Ishikawa! I need that if/then variable that stops same sex marriage from happening ASAP before the patch hits or Vana'diel will crumble!"

@ Chezen, see what I mean by level-headed? You posted something which as you stated, is bound to get you crucified, but you did it an a respectful way, voicing your opinion without instigating or antagonizing anyone. Thank you for that. Now a few thoughts...

Japan's low crime rate...they also have the highest suicide rate in the world. All that pressure to behave a certain way is not necessarily a good thing.

On homosexuality being aberrant...I'm a firm believer that is a genetic mutation...but that doesn't mean it's "wrong." We see this behavior throughout the animal kingdom, with dolphins, monkeys, dogs and many other high-functioning mammals. Yes, the status quo is to gravitate toward heterosexuality to propagate the species, but that doesn't mean the people that are born homosexual should be treated as less than equals because they're the minority.

And it is a genetic thing. To paraphrase the philosopher David Cross (mocking the viewpoint that it is a choice) "And it is a choice. Every gay kid sits in their room one day and says:

You know....
nobody likes me at school.....
and I really have a hard time fitting in......
I'm just so awkward.....
and I have no friends.......

but you know?
Maybe there's something else I can do to invite even more criticism in my life?"

Seriously, no one would willingly invite the negative stigmata and stereotyping associated with homosexuality.

Quoting myself from my haiku thread...

Calling others nerds
On the FF forums here
Well, pot, meet kettle.

Homosexuality isn't necessarily a genetic disorder. I know a guy who decided to date guys just because he was sick of the BS that he got with girls. I don't know if they had sex or anything, but I at least know they dated ...
