    Thanks. Maybe next year have a pride event? Aw, wishful thinking.

    If they do, there'll be posters claiming that it's a distraction for whatever problem of the week we have then. This is why we can't have nice things.

    I like it NOT being a pander. Too many other companies are constantly after me gay monies. This is a nice nod.



    PS: gay isn't a curse word, Perfect World.

    Now we know why they couldn't say it was for gay pride. It's banned!

    Now that would be a great idea.

    I went to the gay (can't type g.a.y. properly with this filter, the irony) Pride event here in London last Saturday. The US embassy had a bus in the parade and it got such huge applause from the crowd. Nice to see!

    I appreciate for your kind gesture, but I kind of wish they could anounce why the TP is free (Ironically I HATE Rainbow Motifs :* ) CO has a big LGBT Community after all

    HOLD THE PHONE! Gay is considered a Cursed Word? REALLY VANILLA REALLY? G.a.y used to mean Happy for crying out loud

    We can't even say GAY pride

    Can we get "gay" removed from the filter? I wonder if "straight" is filtered...

    Edit: Nope.

    "G.a.y." is filtered because of its casual use as a general slur by kids who don't even realize they're being bigots (for much the same reason a fish doesn't realize it's underwater). Blame poor education and parenting. I do.

    (Oh, they'll deny they're being bigoted - "it's just a word, man, I don't mean it that way" - but it's about as non-bigoted as the old '40s-era phrase, "Why, that's mighty white of you!" They weren't consciously referencing racism either...)
    "Science teaches us to expect -- demand -- more than just eerie mysteries. What use is a puzzle that can't be solved? Patience is fine, but I'm not going to stop asking the universe to make sense!"

    I would like to thank Champions for acknowledging the monumental win for the LBGT community and for trying to make amends for the especially long update last Thursday. I would also like to thank those in the community for not blowing up at a few malcontents. Negativity breeds negativity, and while I might not think their complaints are entirely justified, I think shouting at them does not make for a good neighborhood. I'm not saying that we all have to agree, but we can disagree with someone without calling them out specifically.

    Hell is also filtered. It is a very hot place featured in a popular mythology.

    Offering rainbow flight but not actually having the courage to publicly say why is not an "important" gesture.

    I would have been more impressed and proud if Cryptic had made a positive announcement in support of the US Supreme Court's decision.

    Corporations suddenly offering rainbow items is meaningless unless they actually speak up.

    Yay! Congrats on your opinion. I disagree.

    As for the point of this thread? Thanks Cryptic. I have a couple of friends that will enjoy this. Cheers.

    As much as I'm sure you are dying to hear my reasons, I'm not going to derail the thread any further. If you want to go to private messages, fine.
