[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2877658, member: 18701"] Ah cool, Planescape :D For one, you won't know you're encountering an Anarchist gang because the faction keeps its identity hidden at all costs. They'll make you believe you are encountering a Doomguard gang :p The Athar, along with most other factions, wear their identity on their sleeves. They may wear faction colors, wear faction symbols, or rant about their beliefs during combat. Even if it's just a street gang of all men, why would you need to know they are gay men? Have you ever needed to know if they were straight men? I would assume a lesbian gang isn't going to be wearing rainbows unless they want to be identified as a lesbian gang. But if homosexuality is common in the world, why would they do that? I've never seen a real life gang promoting their heterosexuality on their sleeves and being straight is common in our culture. Once again, why does the fact that the gang is gay need to be mentioned if it doesn't affect the PC's? Why not tell them the gang is full of only women? Informing them that it's gay women makes it seem like you want me to react to them being gay for some reason. If the PC's found out these women are gay somehow, I wouldn't find that as being a distraction. Without actually playing in a game that is trying to implement gay characters, I can't really give a good answer to what I think. All I am doing right now is nit picking and making general assumptions, that's all I can do. I can admit that :) [/QUOTE]
