Well, the whole point of creating a guild in World of Warcraft is to play World of Warcraft.

We don't give a shit if you enjoy the company of guys, girls or both. We made the guild to raid, and piss people off, and we are the most tight-knit group of people you'll probably ever meet. You're just perpetuating your victim complex by creating a strictly LGBT, or people that support your "cause", guild. Play WoW to play WoW not bring in your sexual preference as grounds for admission into a guild.
That is the most Tumblr backwards thinking bullshit. IF you want true equality then don't go around using any excuse you can find to build up walls and create animosity. You want the bigotry to stop? Then stop looking at any disagreement as bigotry, and the fact that you state you're the flamboyant type of gay is in itself a form of bigotry and segregation.
No one said anything about sitting down and shutting up. You're again so flustered by casual internet trolling that you've gone into the corner and put your hands over your ears and started screaming, "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Any kind of disagreement by others different from you are taken as bigotry and oppression.
I think you missed the whole point. Being LGBT doesn't seem to be a requirement to join their guild. They advertise as being an LGBT guild for the same reason that pride parades exist. They also want to let other LGBT players know that their guild is an LGBT friendly environment.
Not every gay person is the same. Many have no problem hearing the word 'gay' used as an insult but others have gone through hell. Shit, it's a trigger word for some straight people who were traumatized as kids. While that might sound fantastic for you because you're in a guild full of people who consider harassing someone to the point that they commit suicide the ultimate achievement; there are far more people who would rather not be subjected to that level of immature bigotry without having to hide their identity.
Basically, your argument is "if you don't want to be harassed, then stay in the closet" and to be honest with you, that is pretty fucked up.

I'm glad you don't give a shit about someone's sexual orientation, gender, etc. But you're missing the point when you veer off and mention a "victim complex".
Not a single day goes by without someone in World chat being called a "faggot", "phaggot", "fgt" etc. And if you call someone out on it, you're invariably told to "Shut upfag". There's this whole dudebro mentality that's on Nostalrius big time. Is it any wonder that a guild that provides a LGBTQ-friendly atmosphere may not just be wanted but NEEDED by people playing this game? The mere fact that people feel the need to speak out against or troll a "cause" guild is proof that such a guild is in fact needed.
(Also, sexual orientation (not preference) is NOT grounds for admission to their guild. It's for LGBTQ community and allies.)
I'm glad you have a tight-knit group of people who like to play WoW. What's wrong with wanting to find a tight-knit group of people who like to play WoW who are LGBTQ-friendly? Or Christian? Or whatever? What's it to you?
