Presents
The Sixth Annual Pride Weekend
Saturday, July 11th, 2015 - Sunday, July 12th, 2015
Stonewall Fleet is proud to host the Sixth Annual Pride Weekend for the Star Trek Online community. This time of year is a time of great celebration for the GLBT community. Millions worldwide celebrate during this time of year in remembrance of the Stonewall Riots. The Stonewall Riots were a major changing point in the TRIBBLE & TRIBBLE Rights Movement that not only affected the GLBT community, but the entire world.
For this occasion, Stonewall Fleet will be hosting events throughout the weekend. The events will be open to the entire Star Trek Online community and we hope that you and your fleet will come join in.

Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

i agree.
personally i don't like this idea of "community", this is just a way of creating ghettos. i understand that you are proud to be who you are, but no need to be hidden behind a "community" in this game or in rl, same thing for all the other "communities" (black, asian, christian etc etc etc). the world would be a better place without gates between people
good luck for your event, and have fun
There is no need to view your disagreements when all they are trying to do is make sure everyone and anyone feels welcome.

maybe, we could try to build this world right now
btw, i don't disagree, I give my opinion, without judgement. btw, i have a friend; she is black, @TRIBBLE and muslim, in which community, she should be??? and like she lives in Brittany, she considers herself to be Breton, not french; complicated, isn't it!!!
i hope, you understand what i mean. personally i like the people for their personality, not because they are like me.
like i wrote "i understand".
follow your advice. and don't try to find in my sentences more than I wrote; it is only an opinion, without judgment, pettiness.
it wasn't aimed at you man just a broad general statement is all.
Sorry if you felt it was aimed towards you my bad.
Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds
Hast thou not lacked vigor
Hast thou exerted all possible efforts
Hast thou not become slothful
It's hard to think of something less like putting gates between people than inviting literally everybody in STO to join in their event.
It's been raining for days and I may be stuck outside making up yardwork all weekend, but if I can make any time at all, I'll come celebrate with you. Thanks for the invitation!
It's the absurdity of creating a pride event which is erecting walls. By hosting a pride event the LGBT community, for as far as there is such a thing, effectively sets itself apart from everyone else thereby creating obstacles between both communities (LGBT and non LGBT).
If i were to host a pride event for heterosexuals, or simply for men, people would at the very least wonder if i lost my sanity.
So why is a pride event suddenly a good idea when it's directed at a LGBT community.
The sad thing is you don't even realize what you're saying there in reply to what was said.
There's also the matter of my Internet connection being about as strong as an anesthetized fly in a pitcher plant, so...yeah. The hypocrisy is amusing, isn't it?

I think you need to look up what an 'oppressed minority' is dude. This isn't about erecting walls. The LGBT community are actually taking down these 'walls' that were put up in the first place by religion, homophobes, governments, and prudes. These oppressed minorities take pride in the fact that they are now earning the same basic human rights that white, middle class males all enjoy (the right to marry, adopt, not be harassed in public, job discrimination based simply on their sexuality, not having to deal with parents that would abandon you simply due to your sexuality... the list goes on).
It baffles me that so man straight people are basically saying 'okay, you have almost the same amount of rights now, pls stop making a fuss about it'. I'm pretty sure if you had less rights than everyone else for thousands of years, you'd want to celebrate finally getting them.
Also, weren't you the one who kicked up all that fuss about the TRIBBLE Klingons, saying it shouldn't be forced on us (When it wasn't even apparent, I didn't notice it until my second playthrough)? There is clearly some homophobia here, even if it is somewhat passive. If you don't like it, go elsewhere or ignore it. It's not like these people are trying to make you TRIBBLE.

EDIT 2: One minute, these are censored, next they aren't?
Yup, me too. That is true equality.
