[QUOTE="Laslo Tremaine, post: 297409, member: 330"] Man-o-man, but do I love this board! :D Another gay gamer here. And I'm one of those who is out about being gay (to my firends, co-workers, family... everyone!) and totally closeted about being a gamer (my gamer buddies know (obviously) as do a few family members. No one at my workplace knows, nor do any of my gay friends or casual aquaintances. As far as how far outside of the norm I go while gaming, that is a tough question. Sexuality is not really handled in any of my gaming groups, or if it is, it is pretty abstracted. My current character in my D&D group is pretty asexual, I'm not even sure what orientation he is... Since I came out (roughly 10 years ago) about 90% of my characters have been gay men. Before that, I would guess that maybe 60% were straight men and 40% women... The story that I like to tell about my main group of gaming buddies (who are all straight) is when we played the introductory scenario for Feng Shui. For those of you not familiar with it, the main goal is to defend a noodle shop, its owner and his lovely young daughter from evil forces. The daughter is your basic engenue, and obviously intended to be a focus of attention for the player characters. When we reallized this we all kinda looked around at each other and then broke into uproarious laughter. You see everyone at the table was playing a female character, except for me, and my character was gay! We promptly ret-conned the pretty young daughter into a handsome young son and contunued playing without skipping a beat! Oh, and Anglesboi, my condolences... [/QUOTE]
