EPTDid they really want money from the people who are upset that their gaming community site also supports LBTG equality? In general, those folks are likely not worth the time.

Gaming communities as a whole have a long way to go on this subject. I would not say gaming community more so the internet. Any information you divulge is fair game. And your mom is too. Anonymity is a hell of a drug. As for the new banner I like the awareness jab at people. Some won't like it but then again you should have known since the TL founders are from country's that are very progressive on the subject. | ||

Because promoting equity is such a terrible thing and we should never help others who are discriminated/less fortunately right? Frankly the showing of these colours does not necessarily just support LGBTQ but equity in general. If you don't feel that all humans have the same basic rights, I don't think anyone will mind losing you from TL. | ||

The ones dressing and acting normally, not the ones who feel the need to tell everyone how gay they are, walk around in rainbow colored stuff etc. | ||

So I live in New York, and not too long ago we made gay marriage legal. At first a lot of people were really pissed about it, but as time went on people stopped caring. It's almost as if you can let people who are different from you be happy without it ruining your lifestyle. Live and let live haters | ||

While we're at it let's also ban military parades, i hate how they show off. Also carnival...disgusting, everyone getting drunk and wearing stupid outfits. And nerds! OMG those stupid nerds, always talking about computers and video games and shit. BAN THEM ALL I SAY. Everyone should shut up and stay at home. | ||

"discrimination is bad" now there's an awesome statement. the fact of the matter is that the lgbtq community is still discriminated against on a daily basis and still unequal. inequality is wrong no matter how you look at it. there's something wrong at any level when a group of people can't enjoy basic human rights because of their sexual orientation. with that being said, coloring the mane of the TL horse rainbow does little more than show silent support for a cause they believe in. would you rather them have a giant post/video on the front page proclaiming their love for lgbtq people? | ||

I'd fight for anyone being treated as less as a human because of a choice that's theirs. Could I ask why you're against this? Is it religious or do you just dispise homosexuals? I'm not trying to provoke anything here but your viewpoint is so far from mine and I'm curious about your reasoning. | ||

You are not a very "normal straight" then, are you? I mean you express yourself allot. Your not normal man! | ||

. But still so much hate in gaming communities, even in this thread.
