Bioware Under Fire For Pro Gay Stance
Here’s a shocker – in response to Bioware planning to allow gay relationships in Star Wars: The Old Republic, so called “Family Research Council” president Tony Perkins has taken Star Wars: The Old Republic to task for allowing gay relationships in the MMO.
In a radio broadcast, Perkins said:
“In a new Star Wars game, the biggest threat to the empire may be homosexual activists! Hello, I’m Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. In a galaxy not so far far away, Star Wars gamers have already gone to the dark side. The new video game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, has added a special feature: gay relationships. Bioware, the company that developed the game, said it’s launching a same-sex romance component to satisfy some complaints. That surprised a lot of gamers, since Bioware had made it clear in 2009 that “gay” and “lesbian” don’t exist in the Star Wars universe. Since the announcement, homosexuals have been celebrating the news, but parents sure aren’t. On the game’s website, there are more than 300 pages of comments–a lot of them expressing anger that their kids will be exposed to this Star Warped way of thinking. You can join them by logging on and speaking up. It’s time to show companies who the Force is really with!”
Really? It’s just a game, and a very good one at that. If you don’t like the content, get the f**k out and play Minecraft.
