I must say I am very lucky that I have met some very awesome and supportive people in wow and through rp, that held me above water when my irl situation in regards to this topic was pretty much drowning me.
It is really disgusting to see people brush off their homophobic tendencies as “It is IC” when there is none of such a thing in lore of Warcraft. I can only hope that these people will either come to see how wrong their are given time or will be shunned into oblivion and not bring others down with their hatred for simply for existing.
Thanks for bringing this topic up OP, it surely is a topic that should be discussed even if I wish there was no need for it by now.
