EA supports Gay Content in their Games


Electronic Arts or EA, (to the geeks and gamers) are huge when it comes to video games. And recently, they have added more LGBT characters in their games, which made millions of geeks and gaymers happy.

However, the haters had to hate and send their bigoted letters to EA, hoping to censor the LGBT content. These efforts were led by hate leaders, Tony Perkins and James Dobson. But to their surprise, EA has no plans to remove the LGBT characters.

Here's more:
The letters have been directed to EA's executive team, creative heads, its board of directors and just about anyone at a high level. Many of them threaten to boycott EA's titles if the publisher refuses to remove same-sex relationship content.

The letters also infer that EA was pressured by LGBT groups to include homosexual content in its games, and that this content is somehow forced upon children, exposing them to LGBT themes. Of course, those of you reading this already know how ludicrous this is. The games are not for children, nor do they force LGBT content on a player - it's merely an option for gamers who wish to replicate their real-life sexual orientation.
Some of the letters also complain that EA is deliberately deleting posts against LGBT issues on its official forum, which is true when the comments happen to violate discussion rules on hate speech. 

"EA has not been pressured by any groups to include LGBT characters in our games. However, we have met with LBGT groups and sponsored industry forums to discuss content and harassment of players in online forums. In short, we do put options for same-sex relationships in our games; we don't tolerate hate speech on our forums," Brown added.
It's crazy for the haters to think they can control fantasy and Sci-Fi. Seriously, haters get a life.
