It's good to see that something that most people in the world would avoid as a subject can become a successful User Group with 141 members!

Good on you guys and girls!

I hope those folks in Politics & Religion don't find their way over here...

Anyways I'm glad to see this kind of diversity in my beloved Escapist...

I think that this is great! We have come a long way since the post WWII uber-puritanical movement in America (though, I realize that this is neither an all-American group nor that discrimination is an all-American problem) and it is far past due that the LGBT community is recognized as a vital part of society with the same importance, value and freedoms as the rest of us.

Big ups to everyone.

Why?

Both [user]Amnestic[/user] and [user]Neutral Drow[/user] are all for equal rights and are some of the best debaters on the site. They'll rip haters a new one.

That's great really is.
I may not be gay, but I'm a huge gay supporter so I'm really glad to see this being so celebrated =)

I've seen quite a few haters in that neck of the woods, of course that does not apply to all the users that reside there...

But haters gonna hate regardless...

This is true :p
Its an unfortunate side effect of having an air of anonymity on this site, people can express opinions without remorse.

Cue the ever-puzzling comment of "as long as they don't rub it in my face", to which I reply: "lolwut?".

Oh, CRAP, this interview was up already? No wonder we've had an influx of new members... >____>

Never you fear. Any kind of mongering doesn't fly with myself and the appointed admins on the clock. Luckily, we've only had to permanently kick someone from the group once. And only one person in a whole year is a pretty good ratio, no?

Thank you kindly. I'm glad to know that my idea wasn't as niche as I had originally feared it would be, and it's actually been smooth sailing for quite some time.

Not gay, but a proud member of this group. I haven't been around all that much, but the times I have I've seen people genuinely caring for other people and helping them through tough times. A group that makes this 'Pist proud to be a 'Pist.

Congrats guys.

I had no idea this group existed and I probably qualify for at least two of those letters. Score. That's an atrocious pun, though.
I had no idea till now either. I should join up.

Yep, that's the point. Trust me, I knew it was bad when I came up with it. But it's memorable, no?

Congratulations to everyone over at the Escapist Gay-mers!

I won't include myself in that however, because I'm not nearly as active in the group as I feel I should be.

I'm a huge proponent of gay rights and I am bisexual myself. I'm glad the Escapists staff decided to interview this group.

(Before anybody asks. Yes, I have been attracted to males in the past both sexually and emotionally and I still am to one.
