US Christian activist attacks SWTOR for being gay
Hi I'm Tony Perkins. You're not gay, are you?Someone named Tony Perkins, who is apparently president of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., has attacked Bioware's decision to permit gay and lesbian relationships in their Star Wars: The Old Republic videogame. Says Mr. Perkins:
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!
I've got a hunch that the "Family Research Council" does not actually do research. On anything.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't know why you need sexual relationships in videogames (especially ones involving torture) but if you are going to have them, people should be free.
