Boy Scouts changes policy, allowing gay scouts to join starting in 2014.

Gay Scoutmasters, meanwhile, are still banned.

So how long until a scandal arises where a scoutmaster gets caught bad-touching one of his troop and claims he was seduced?

Well, you cannot be seduced by a minor under the law, and given that all scouts graduate out at 18 (not on their birthdays, but when the next scouting season comes around), it won't be much of a defense.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I thought the push was to start boycotting all Russian spirits?

The funny thing is that apparently Stoly is a big supporter of LBGQ rights in Russia.

As usual, the transgender population gets shafted. It happened after Stonewall, and it's happening now.

Well, the thread title is from 2008, when the 'Q' wasn't yet a part of the acronym. But look, it can be added! YOU HAVE THE POWER.

I remember the five-letter acronym being current when I was in university. Which was the late 90's/early 2000's.

The "for including homosexual romance options in Dragon Age 2" part doesn't seem to be part of the article?  It's not mentioned as a source of any fresh harassment - or even whether any fresh harassment had cropped up - and kind of a ridiculous claim this many years after the whole Hepler mess.

It's an extrapolation from "for including ... LGBT characters", as, well, having played the game I know that the characters' sexual orientations only come up as a romance option and affect the plot and characterization in no other way.

I know that in Hepler's case she could never do that as she has children, but I would love to see at least one of these people who've been targeted by "internet bullies" over their work in video games to stand their ground and cop a bring-it-on attitude.

Threats on the internet can and do materialize into real violence sometimes, but if ever there was a time I was going to bet people were shit-filled cowards who won't follow through, it's guys making angry rants about video games online.
