But you apparently have to go to any couple that are not straight and be NEXT TO THEM when they kiss, or do they just run over to you when they see you and force themselves on you while they are doing their thing?

Racism is very evident in sports. The main reason is that there are actual black athletes who are subject to it and whom are vocal in their opposition to it. Homophobia is not so apparent in sports. Even though supporters frequently sing or chant anti-gay songs or slogans, there are virtually no actual targets of the homophobia; because there are almost no openly gay athletes. Maybe the same thing is true for homosexual sc2 players? Perhaps we actually do have a gay progamer or two, they just don't want to openly identify as gay, because then they'd get hundreds of funny people responding with "ha ha well that certainly explains why he plays like one!!" or whatever.
considering the sheer amount of pro players and the percentage of homosexuals out there, i'm convinced there are numerous gay progamers. i agree it is unfortunate that they feel the need to hide their sexuality, although i think that some might not even try to hide it, it's just a topic that is so far removed from e-sports that it just isn't talked about and so we don't know. even if a gay person doesn't hide their sexuality, they may not feel the need to tell everyone that they're gay, and why should they? i don't feel the need to tell others i'm straight.
in terms of racism, you're right about black people, of course. but we obviously have a lot of asian players and i honestly cannot remember a single racist comment about any asian player, or even towards a white player from someone who is not white. i also don't remember any racism targeted towards middle-easterners (ethnically) like Haypro. that's pretty awesome in my opinion.

Oh ... so that's why it's a rainbow. Pretty cool.
Because of this thread a laerned so many things !
- United states have not legalised gay marriage in all their states (i thought they had).
- The word Transwoman. I thought you have to say transman or transgeder in this way (the other way around).
- A lot of TL users are in love with Snute.
- Some people are really uptight
- You can't say : "it's a gay strategy" because it's offensive. (I have a friend that is gay and he tells me that everytime i cheese him IG. "You're so gay 9pooling"). So i never thought about it as a bad thing to say.
- The rainbow color is international (i thought it was just France).
- Pluto is not a planet ???
- i am not the only one that spit coffee with the dolphin joke. (also WTF ? i did not know that too)
- Big-t remains unbanned
And also this ...

How about because sexual orientation has got nothing to do with Starcraft? What makes a progamer think that Starcraft fans are interested in whether he is gay or not? If I suffer from a prolapsed rectum (not saying being gay is a disease btw), is there a need to announce it in a proleague interview?

Stop saying it's a political view when from our end it isn't. We're speaking out about basic human rights. What about my view? What about the principal falsity of gays? You are not supposed to put your P into a B. You can't be fucking serious. You're also "not supposed to" use your H on your P, but I have a feeling you did that before. You are right sir and I would understand it, if you are discriminating me for this. Now I don´t understand why ever one goes like "Oh gays are most normal thing in the world". When I was born gay was an illness! And Pluto was a planet. When you were born people were wrong. Yeah only that never ever ever people will say: Oh look, we can reproduce by using buttsex. NEVER! Male dolphins penetrate each other in the blowhole. I'm pretty sure they aren't trying to reproduce. What's your point again? The blowhole? I did not need to know this. So male dolphins, literally can give each other "blow" jobs? Fascinating.
and sometimes a dog tries to hump the leg of a person. Fascinating. Does not make bestiality the right thing to do, even though it happens in nature.

So if you see a gay couple kissing you would really go to them and ask them to stop it?
(Assuming you would do that in a ... positive and ... friendly? manner)

I just wanted to post to say that I'm really proud that TL is willing to step forward (and potentially take criticism) for such a vital social issue.
The gaming community is particularly polarized in this, I think. While there are lots of gamers who are pro-equality, it's also 'accepted' to make fun of people or insult your opponents (or even your friends) through whatever avenues comes to mind - a facet of our gamer culture that I would be more than glad if it disappeared entirely as it encourages all sorts of bigoted behavior.

But we talk about the players' girlfriends all the time. When iNcontroL got married it was HUGE news. We talk about sexual orientation all the time. Check yo privilege please.

Keep on being awesome TL I'm glad our community can openly support its LGBT members. As a non LGBT member this has no real effects on me but im glad we as a community can have these inclusive movements. Also one of, if not my favourite player is Scarlett so to see a step towards equality for women like her is excellent.
Keep up the good work TL!

Despite agreeing with TL on most things due to my own progressive leanings, I do agree that it's wrong to just shut out any opinion just because you disagree with it. If someone disagrees with gay marriage or transexuality, that's their deal, and they're free to think so as long as they're not a dick about it. It goes both ways, people saying that we should hang the gays and people saying we should burn down churches because they disagree with gay marriage are, to me, in the same boat.
But that's neither here nor there and has no real relevancy in this thread because it's simply not happening. They're not "shoving their agenda" down your throat by showing their support for one side of the debate, just like gay people aren't trying to make you gay by being in the general vicinity of you. If they were to, say, make a forum dedicated to gay rights that took precedence over eSports and banned any dissension then you'd have a point, but right now it's just a fucking rainbow horse that you don't even have to acknowledge.
I hate the hypocrisy in the progressive movement just like I hate people like Big-t who give them a reason to be hypocritical.
In any other thread he would've just been banned as soon he started spouting homophobic circular rhetoric but now it's just become a circlejerk beating up an unrealistically extremist and stupid example of the other side of the debate.
