Is it necessary to advertise "LGBTQ+ friendly"

Where the hell are you getting your information? Roe v Wade being overturned just gives it back to the states to decide, which essentially means it’s back in the hands of the people. Ya know, kind of how a constitutional republic is supposed to work (America is not a democracy). How you are conflating other things with roe v wade just shows that you have no understanding of the finer details and are merely being a useful idiot to politicians with agendas.

The science backing transition is about as good as the science that the earth was flat.

LOLZ fam, really? That's not what the Supreme Court decision says, but OK ... try having a miscarriage in TX that requires medical intervention (which many of them do) & see what happens. *stressedsmileyface*

The science backing transition is way better than "earth is flat!!!" science.

That is what is happening, and I do believe it's being overturned because it was illegal, to begin with, and federal overreach. If you don't like the laws of Texas, you can convince others and change them. If you cannot, you have the ability to freely go to a state that agrees with you.

While better than the flat earth theory, the Science backing transition is not that good. Highly politicised and ideologically driven.

Talk about an emotional response, lol. Also, comparing your argument to "flat earthers" makes you look really bad. Besides, Vryn said it best. If you don't like said laws then move, even then, as much as you would like it, the laws are not black and white. There is wiggle room when it comes to special occasions (which I won't list off since we don't need to think about THAT in a MMO forum, lol) that would vary state by state. And on a personal note, flat earthers are nutjobs, but inner earthers on the other hand... :^)

This entire statement is so willfully obtuse it’s not funny. Not to mention woefully, and willfully ignorant of current events. Even moreso willfully blind to the logistics of what you are espousing.

As if individuals can just up and leave at a moment’s notice, sever their jobs, their homes, and their families at a drop of a hat.

Talk about speaking from a privileged position. Yeesh

And who says your state is going to ban it? Talk about jumping the gun, lol. Besi- Wait a sec, I thought this topic was about lgbtq tags, when did we confuse the forest with the tree?

That would be at your behest, that the train derailed according to you. Not mine.

And it is related, regardless. Roe V Wade has 13 states alone that have trigger laws immediately acting upon the revocation of Roe V Wade. The reason why it is relevant is because of the wording used in the draft opinion by the justice involved. Giving the go ahead for many states and interest groups along certain ideologies to immediately push to have things like Gay Marriage, Interracial Marriage, and other items they want outlawed, taken care of. Eventually pushing those goals to the supreme court to do just that.

So yes. It’s relevant. It’s clear that you don’t have a firm grasp on what LGBTQ+ individuals have to deal with on a daily basis.

[Vencio]

And other communities/ individuals don’t….?

Don’t want to dismiss what the LGBTQ goes but so does anyone from any particular community whatever affiliation you put yourself into,

After all, its all individual how experiences come & about.

I just don’t agree entirely that a community furthers to paint themselves as overly victimized while other’s are proably still going through that ordeal due to systems or oppositions.

What you can do about its to see yourself beyond “the community” and how you can progress/move forward rather than call in for pleas or attention all because “i want to further myself as a sheep victim”. Its hypocrism

[Yandere-chan]

It's so LGBTQ+ people feel extra welcomed. While the community on FFXIV is generally very friendly to LGBTQ+ people, it doesn't hurt to give that extra sense of comfort.

[DevonEllwood]

I don't feel it's necessary, but if it makes people feel better, then it's fine. I'm pretty sure there's a reason people describe their FCs as such. When I was looking for an FC, I told my friend on discord I was looking for two specific things to not be in the description: "LGBTQ+ Friendly" and "drama free". I feel that either of these descriptors just tells me that the FC had previous problems the leaders could not handle. That presents more underlying issues that were not dealt with abruptly and left to fester until they became a bigger problem. I found my fc and according to some people's stories it sounds like I found a veritable unicorn out in the world. it could be because I don't interact much, but I have had absolutely no issues at all. On top of that, I think they have collected nearly 50% of balmung's hrothgar population. Being LGBTQ+ friendly should be an absolute given.

My question is why would that even come up, no one needs to know that much about you outside of game really.
