Would you add a gay gamer? I know some that can pown a crap load of you in games, why the stereotypes and discrimination online?

Because that's how the internet works. I wouldn't even ask anyone's sexual preference, so it wouldn't matter on the basis of adding. If people are cool, they're cool; it's as simple as that. Putting people in certain unnecessary groups only furthers segregation.

Of course, What others do in their personal life does not concern me, aslong as they don't run around being obnoxious in the game then I don't care what you sexual orientation or even gender is..

Yeah because, when I'm playing a game over the internet the first thing I must do is discover a person's sexual orientation. It doesn't matter to me in the slightest.

One's sexual preferences are unimportant to me. Etero or homo a nice person is always welcome.

Doesn't bother me, just as there are quite a lot on my friends list on Livewho aren't bothered about how I am. They're a fellow gamer who's hopefully not a sore loser, a cheat, a hacker and so on.

Gays and lesbians have every right to live out their lifestyle in the way they chose. It's not my lifestyle, but I respect them. Therefore, I wouldn't mind adding them onto my friends list. It doesn't bother me at all.

What kind of answers are you expecting? This is a gamespot forum. If anyone were to speak against homosexuals they'd probably get moderated.

I can't imagine that sexual preference ever really comes up in online gaming save for the idiots who think they sound so cool shouting racial and homophobic slurs online.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing.

I third the query. Obviously the OP thinks the stereotyping is a problem but, in my experience, sexual orientation never comes into it.

...unless someone is overtly stereotypically flamboyant of course. In those cases, of course they're gonna cop it. Same as anyone else with an overt personality will cop it.

If I were to speak my mind. I would probably be moderated just as the people above me said. So this is something like walking into a nazi convention to say you dont like fascism very much.

Why should they even care to show it while playing? It is not need so why waste time putting it up? Gaming is for the most part not the place to show those type of thing. They should be respectful to other games and keep inappropriate things out of gaming.

I don't add random people, but their sexual preference wouldn't deter me if I did (considering I am gay and all).

I don't care about anyone's ethnicity, gender, age, sexuality. as long as I get along with them I have no problem with their personal aspects.

Why would I care if someone's gay Of course I would add them if I liked them as a person/gamer.

But it doesn't suprise me that you've experienced descrimination online -- the community as a whole is very sophomoric and immature.

I don't understand the level of homosexual discrimination on the internet these days.....the most common insult you see is 'fa.gg.ot'. It's just disgusting really-the intolerance of homosexual people in the world is getting out of hand.

I could care less what a person's sexual preference was; I'll treat them as I treat anyone else, regardless of background, orientation, etc.

Yes, but this topic is a little too touchy imo, I have no problem with people and their preference on life.
