Openly gay characters in ff14

[Serilda]

I second the calls to drop the discussion about whether homosexual people should be 'openly' so or not. Unless you want the thread to be locked (or worse, deleted) due to the inevitable arguments that will follow, because for whatever reasons not everyone has the same freedom as others - especially on a forum with users in every corner of the planet.

For interracial I believe that might be more of an Elezan thing (I'm pretty sure the other half of the WP couple was Elezan and specifically mentions that.)

Surely he's a Hyur. You're not wrong that Elezen society tends to be on the rigid side in some respects but I think that if anything the Miqo'te is the reason that the WP couple's romance is viewed negatively by wherever the pair came from, for the reasons previously posted. If it was a female/female couple, there probably wouldn't have been so many problems in this particular case since the cultural pressures would be different.

I personally think that the majority of people in Eorzea see no problem with same-sex relationships or teasing. The first time I visited Camp Dragonhead I was thoroughly delighted by the experience of meeting Haurchefant and his men ("Do not dare question our ways, unbeliever!" indeed - I wouldn't dream of it).

Found a video of the two, yes the other half of the couple is a Hyur (Highlander I think). When I originally did the quest there were so many people crowding them I couldn't make em out, only reason I knew one was a Miqo'te was because of his speech pattern.
