TL moving into covering pop culture phenomena: first stop My Little Pony.
New site mascot: Rainbow Dash
ok, ok. In all seriousness, while the constant high visibility "I support equality" thing can wear on me a little at times, I can't think of a place where it might be more necessary than videogamer culture. Well done, TL.

Stardust said someting about Taeja at HSC, but it felt like a joke and/or misunderstanding due to language barrier. but i don't know. What did Stardust say exactly O_O He said Taeja was gay and when asked to clarify he said he liked men. to add some context, he was casting a game with Rotterdam and someone else (don't remember). Rotti asked him who he wanted to win the tournament and Stardust said "Taeja because he gay", then when Rotti was trying to make sure he heard that right he repeated it and added "he likes men". this is all from memory, but should be about right. it was hard for me to tell how serious Stardust was, and it seemed Rotterdam was too surprised and overwhelmed to pursue the issue any further.
EDIT: well that answers that. thanks Rich, that's nice to read!

Agreed, we still have a longer way to go as a community than many of us like to admit!

Anyone who has a problem with LGBT rights should get the fuck out of ESPORTS. If they have a problem with LGBT they fail to meet the standards of being a decent human being.

While a majority still disagree with the statement, in the 18-29 age bracket 71% of South Koreans supported accepting homosexuality in society. http://blogs.wsj.com/korearealtime/2013/06/12/poll-shows-koreans-warming-to-homosexuality/
