Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion. For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. | ||

Comments highly appreciated: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=389419 <3 you all! I'm not as aware of the SC2 scene, but there is a very short list of [reasonably] good players in Starcraft history. iN.Kenka - either gay or bisexual, can't remember which. Tremendous player from powerhouse Sweden. I was gonna say he was top 5 at one point, but that's really hard to claim with so much packed Swedish talent Fennec-The-Fox - very early in the time of starcraft, he was a dominant North American Zerg Myself - I was in iD, a top Starcraft clan outside of korea (Artosis, Ret, Jinro, Saracens, Tuzer) and on Canada's national team for ~5 years. I could never afford to fly to WCG Canada finals, that said, Canada was a powerhouse in Brood War and I would have lost to the other talent out east And that's all I can think of.  Liquid`Drone is an honorary homosexual because he's so damn awesome. | ||

I do play on lowest graphics, i also have the same FPS drops when i do stream on really low quality. I dont know why. Maybe someone of you guys know a little bit more about that problem and could help me setting up the stream? If yes feel free to add me in Facebook (Nico Mezger) or Skype (nookie_1989). I would appreciate your help a lot. Edit: If you dont know a lot about streaming but want to get in touch with a gay gamer you can add me in facebook too of course :D | ||

But really I'm mostly here to stay motivated to play starcraft. I never made it past gold (granted I never played more than 20 games a season :/ ) and I would really love to see if I am able to get better and if so by how much. I'm german btw so excuse any mistakes not made consciously :p | ||

What streaming program are you using and what capture method? Dxtory worked well for me with Xsplit. OBS seems to work well out of the box. | ||

I'm Bi/Gay (don't question me, I DON'T KNOW) and would really love to talk to more experienced people or play some games. I'll be on IRC a lot I hope from now on and if anyone wants to talk more privately, skype is always an option (: But really I'm mostly here to stay motivated to play starcraft.

I dont know a lot about streaming, i just know that i tried it 1-2 times in past without being able to make it work. Thanks | ||

And so did i here. I applaud the movement that was set by Mora on this thread, even though not everyone can agree on all aspects posted here and neither do i. Still, I would like to share my story... if there is any. I don't know if this fits this thread nor if it's interesting for anyone of you and i don't even know it it makes sense or will turn out as a mistake for me. TL;DR I'm Denda, some 16yr guy. I'm not outed because not even myself would accept it... i don't even want to talk about how others would react. And i doubt it will make any difference, because the public opinion on this topic is: a: making fun of it b: not taking it serious aka. "dis fagets hav no hobbiez, is a lyfstyle" c: taking it serious, but discriminating it. In my short lifespan i have only faced those 3 reactions and i also expect that many of you will be like "just some confused teen that doesn't know what it wants". Well, inside of me, i have used this "statement" above to just avoid that topic, ignore and forget it. I never talked about it and i doub't i could. 2 years ago or so i had some kind of.. breakdown, but nothing serious. After i tried to explain why i am so "depressed" i saw that my parents firstly didn't believe me and secondly they don't think such things as different orientations exist. ANd even if i could convince them, they wouldn't tolerate it. That day i understood that it had no sense to talk about it with people that think it's an western invention or a "put-on-lifestyle" - a choice. No one's that stupid to trade one's straightness against tons of problems just to have a different orientation, so much about the choice-thing. Also i realized that people like me (if they do) for what i pretend to be, but not what i am. So basically my life is theatre and i can't relate to my family or appreciate their words because i know that they are not for me, but just for some sharade. I was raised "against" different orientations but i was never afraid of being myself, stating my interests etc. when i was younger. As a GaGa fan and hobby artist it's obviously clear that my environment will try real hard to make fun out of it and label things that can't be labeled. So, after i touched this topic once, 2 years ago, i never touched it again. And it burns. I feel okay, i can ignore this topic, but not for long and i don't really know what to do. What, if not even you like yourself... then who else? Sorry for the long text and for the bad english. That's not everything i guess but i think enough for the first step. This was hard for me to write and sorry if it's boring. Well... that's me edit: by now i noticed that i never... managed to even type the word "gay" in the context to me I think the biggest thing is that you're letting other people cloud your own opinion on yourself. Other people shouldn't matter, especially if you know they are ignorant assholes. | ||

First, I want to assure you that things will be ok, in the long run. Not immediately, though, but bear with me. Since you're 16, and you're a dependent, it's ok to keep closeted if your family is completely unaccepting of it. I've seen too many young people go homeless because they push the issue. Every battle, like in StarCraft, is won by position. If you're a dependent, you're not in a position to win this fight if the intolerance is too high in your immediate family. Yea, it's going to be a dumb couple of years until you're financially independent. If you need to vent, you can come talk to us here in IRC channel: http://www.teamliquid.net/irc/ channel name is :gteamliquid | ||
