Probably not. But this topic sucks. I'm kinda sick and tired of being treated as a 2nd class citizen. Perhaps the future will be better?

 

Thats what happens on forums with people from around the world....

So many different views, also others just making replies to get attention / aggravating other people just for fun..

I think it's amazing just how far society has come in so little a time. Even here, on an internet chat room where people are shielded by anonymity, there's only a handful of bigots who just don't get it. As little as twenty years ago, there'd be a big heaping fist full of those people wherever you went, anonymous or not.

And most of the bigots here are kids. A lot of them are going to have their views change pretty fast when they actually encounter gays in their lives. Hell, I'm willing to bet that at least one of the bigots in this thread will one day regularly partake in homosexual relations.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Firstly, i am disappointed in some of my fellow VGChartz members and their comments. I agree everyone has a right to an opinion, it is just funny how much more of an opinion is considered acceptably when it comes to homosexuality. But then again, the only people i can imagine making such comments are the uneducated or closeted homosexuals. Which one are you?

Secondly, Microsoft is known for fighting for equal employee rights, so somehow i doubt that this this story is completely true. If so, i doubt this is a structural problem throughout the company (no i am not an MS fanboy. Own a Wii and a Mac). However, if what this man says is true, expect many people to get fired, and expect a a huge, huge pay-out.

What is incredible though is how society can change its views in such a short time. Chances are you parents or grandparents were throwing rocks at black people, gassing Jews, or protesting women rights to vote. Hell, less than 60 years ago, we were all at war with each other.

In 15 years, gay marriage will be accepted in all western countries, and we will start criticizing other countries for lack of homosexual rights. And then, the people on this site who make horrible comments about homosexuality will just be seen as sad and backwards, and will probably start hiding the fact that they are against homosexuality, just like their parents deny having a white hooded cloth in the back of their closet.

No one else finds it ironic that the last game MR. oppressed Homosexual worked on allowed in game gay marriage? I bet they added it in just to tease him.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

That is stupid reason to be fired
