Guild Wars 2

I’ve always find the concept of “coming out” annoying and absurd. In an ideal world such a thing should not even exist. Nonetheless it does, for a variety of reasons, and sadly the expectation of having to “come out” if you are gay it’s just a minor part of all the problems that come in hand with our sexuality. The fact remains that being a homosexual is attached to all kind of (extra) negative experiences through life, that should not exist in the first place. We are just people, and while some might not make an issue out of stares of disgust, angry comments on the street, and/or other kind of expressions, others are affected very deeply by this, it feels like being kicked on the nuts even while you are down.
I say this because I’ve read some comments on people saying that having the trans NPC, more than anything, brings more problems, its unnecessary, inflammatory, etc. And I can see why you would think that, in a different world I’d even agree with you, but right now, in the reality that we live in, acting like the problem doesn’t exist will do nothing to solve it, and so, such little things, like adding the trans NPC or having one of the developers of the game making the Points of Interest videos or something being homosexual, has the opposite effect of the “kick in the nuts when you are down”, it’s the nice reminder that there are people who not only accept you, but that are willing to endure the angry/disapproving comments of some of their customers just to tell you, in their own way, its ok =). So yeah, it’s a pretty nice gesture.
Anyway, I’m off to bed, I guess I just want to say thanks to Anet, it really does mean a lot!
