[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 2745137, member: 2785"] In a Marvel game many years ago, I played a gay speedster based upon the Northstar character from Alpha Flight. When it came out that the PC was gay, it made the other players pretty uncomfortable. Around the same time I had a gay player who, as with many gamers, always played characters with the same gender and sexuality as himself. I like including gay NPCs from time to time for verisimilitude, as long as the group can handle it maturely. Of the groups I'm running at the moment, two groups have gay players and don't have a problem with the occasional gay NPC; a third group, however, would probably be uncomfortable with encountering such characters, so I doubt I'll ever use them in that game. In a previous campaign with that group, I introduced the idea that in human culture in the region, marriage was between two people of any gender. I mentioned it as an "Oh, by the way..." sort of cultural background tidbit--it went over like a fart in church, so I simply mentioned it and left it at that. I did have a lot of fun recently with role-playing a flamboyantly gay transvestite "madam" that ran a guild of prostitutes. I love freaking players out. :p [/QUOTE]
