First ever gay couple NPC's

[Melriss]

Personal attack, how sweet.

I'd like to think I'm stating the obvious more than anything.

Yes, stating the obvious you are rude and that's what gets you in trouble, you would think that after being punished you would learn from your problem *shrugs* eh, some people refuse to get better from being rude.

eh, some people refuse to get better

HAH!

Topics like this just make me want to crawl into a hole and die as a gay man. We get it, companies are actually representing homosexual couples in games.

Stop shoving it in everyone's face. (The players, with topics like these, not the game devs.)

As a gay man, I think the characters are kind of sweet and I appreciate the introduction of the only openly gay characters (that weren't cross dressers) in the history of the franchise.

[Nephera]

Representation is a big deal.

[Kaelah]

LOVE KNOWS NO GENDER!

I honestly would think the Miqo'te would go well with another Miqo'te or at LEAST a Elezen but a Hyur, eww. Bad combo.

So love knows know gender but it must know race? (Well as long as it's not Hyur?) Teehee.
It's like you tried to make a topic about how you arn't prejudice against gays yet you are against race. @_@ Why does it matter what race they are. Or how good looking either of them are, we arn't all shallow you know. :3

[lokinmodar]

I see prejudice in many responses here. Where are the moderators?

I feel offended as a gay man to see even some gay guys saying some stupid stuff here.

Before people continue dragging out every single example of gay/bi female NPCs lying around Eorzea, I think it's worth pointing out that this is the first time in the entire game we've seen men portrayed as openly homosexual. Lesbians are, no offense intended, the "okay" sort of homosexual as far as the "straight male" demographic is concerned. Having homosexual men appear is deliberately going beyond that acceptable norm. Which is great, especially for a Japanese game.

Um what? Where are Lesbians so openly accepted? They're shunned just as much as males, if not more because they won't even bear children.
In society, I see gay MEN everywhere. I rarely see any lesbians. When people thibk gay, they think gay men.

Why else do you think the red cross doesn't allow homosexual men to donate blood in 2015?

I thought their appearance was cute and put a smile on my face that SE was willing to go there. But I also like the interracial aspect to it. According to the Dev's the races are all capable of having mixed children with each other and we can expect to see some "Half/Half" racial characters in Heavensward. Looking forward to that.

I'll bet lala/Mi'qote kids are cute as a button!

[Niqote]

I am very surprised people even reacted at all (other then over the sweetness of the NPCs)... there has been a set of male NPCs with one suggesting they are about to do naughty things together since the launch of ARR~!

I periodically visit them to see if they have progressed any XD
