I am 36 years old and I have fought and fought for equality since I was in High School. I know Square Enix and maybe some of the people playing this game dont understand how important this issue is to a gay player as you have never experienced it in your real life.

This thread is a reflection of the same struggles I avoid in game where I am very careful about revealing too much personal information. If the game is going to accept and appreciate its gay playerbase this issue shouldnt even be AN ISSUE. Its not like they ban signs of affection from gender to gender. You can use any emotive to any gender regardless of your gender, I didnt see that offending or causing any problems in the game. How many people stop to give a scolding to someone who is playing a male character give another male character a hug? Is it really that important? Furthermore the marriage ceremony and people invited would be up to the couple, other than that it wouldnt affect anyone else in the game.

To brush off my compassion about equality in and outside of the game is totally disrespectful. I find much more support for things like this than negative remarks but to see people support not allowing it based purely on outside speculation without any regard for the person playing the game paying their own monthly fee is nonsense and rubbish
I respect your choice
