Happy International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you everyone for the giveaways and I sincerely wish everyone a happy International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia! KonOkami, εύχομαι η χώρα μας να προχωρήσει και να επιτρέψει στους ανθρώπους της να ζήσουν με ελευθερία και αξιοπρέπεια.
As someone who was born and raised in Greece, a lot of things about today's mindsets and overall condition there sadden me, but I hope to one day, even if slowly, see such issues addressed. No matter how hard those with closed minds try, you cannot go backwards in time. Those who are open and willing to listen are too many. So keep on fighting. As an ally, I wish you the best for a day when we no longer need terms like 'ally', because being respectful to sexual and gender minorities will just be considered common sense.

Συντρόφισσα, αλλά το τελευταίο είναι καλό για introductions. Ahaha. Αν και ξέρω το username σου απο αλλού οπότε μπορεί και να έχουμε μιλήσει εκεί (έχουμε και μια συγκεκριμένη θεά ως γνωστή στο Steam ;) ). Μνήμη Dory εδώ όμως οπότε μόνο το username συγκράτησα. XD

Γεια σου φίλη ανιμετζιριώτισσα τότε! Εχώ χρόνια να μπω εκεί μέσα και έχω αφήσει την άλλη την περιστέρα(pun intended) να αλλωνίζει και να κουτσουλάει όλο τον κόσμο, αλλά για να θυμάσαι name δεν την φοβάμαι την μνήμη σου! :P

Eww, Starfighter. Get it away!
No, seriously. That webcomic is just a bunch of horrible yaoi stereotypes and gross messages about rape and sex. There are much better LBGT comics out there to give attention to. Ones that don't trivialize and fetishize rape and pander to every seme/uke trope in the book.
That said, I think we still have a way to go to be equal, but we've gotten a good start. I live in a state where I can get married to another woman, trans folks can have their gender assignment surgery covered by their insurance, and LBGT adoptions are allowed. Which is pretty cool.

But I like Starfighter D:. I'm also a bit of a perv so maybe that is it XD. To be frank, there aren't a whole lot of LGBT comics that are popular and not yaoi. Capitol Hillbillies is the only one that comes to mind and even that is dirty at times.

I have no problem with you liking it, but I hope you can admit that it's a really stereotypical and problematic work with regards to how it handles rape and consent.
Also, I've got no issues about it being yaoi or explict/dirty. I just wish the sex was mutual rather than coerced or outright forced.
And actually, there are quite a few comics that are at least mildly popular and much less problematic. Sakana has a gay side romance, Curvy is about lesbians, Oglaf represents all sexualities equally, The Night Belongs to Us is a new webcomic about a werewolf and vampire lesbian couple, and The Less than Epic Adventues of TJ and Amal is now in print.
Check out this list for even more examples of what I'm talking about, though keep in mind that I can only vouch for the ones I've mentioned above.

Fair enough. I like Oglaf but never considered it a lgbt since it covers basically everything. I'll go through that list at a later time, ty :D

In my country (El Salvador), being part of the minority makes you deserve hate and isolation, actually my boss (who teachs physics in a university), said that he isolated a gay student from group activities and cheated a couple of his exams to give him lower scores. Hearing that,
I'm glad that I just decided to DADT.

So many people for my blacklist :) And yes, I do hate gays and lesbians as much as i hate gypsies. They make me sick and it's a disturbing sight. Last thing i wish is for my kid to ask me why two boys or two girls are kissing and touching each other in public. But as long as you stay away from my sight it's ok. If not, well, you'll have yourself a really bad time.

Well superior or not, I'm glad I'm not the one sucking dicks and taking them up my butt ;)
The way things are evolving with all the gay rights and shit like this, maybe in a couple of years there will be a "Pedophiles day" , "Satan's day" or even "Oedip's day". But who knows...this world is already messed up and full of retards. It wouldn't amaze me if it would happen.

Didn't think about the anal sex part mostly because I'm not one of those men who likes doing anal sex with the girls....never tried it, never will. Don't wanna dump my penis where the poo comes out :) And nope, i'm not secretly gay. The sexual degree in nature is dictated by several psychological and even physical events. There is normal sex and there are the other forms of sex: oral, anal, gay, animal, object, orgy, etc. Besides the normal sex, 1on1, penis in vagina style, all of the rest are based on childhood or society unfortunate events, parents education, rapes, etc. Psychology is one of my favorite subject. We could talk all day long and I can prove that any gay around this world is hiding his "issue" behind a past unfortunate event, consciously or subconsciously. By the way, same concept also applies to racism.
PS: anal sex is often used by young couples who don't want to use condoms or other means of birth control, to avoid pregnancy
PS2: the "best" part about being gay is that a gay couple can never have kids of their own, from their own flesh and blood. Maybe one of the parents could, but the other one would be just there as a fill up. And besides, women would still need semen and men would still need an woman to bear the pregnancy.
Fortunately, one day, all the gays would disappear, just like the emos did ;)

As long as you found your peace with a soul of same sex, I'm 100% sure you could find that peace with a boy too. Yeah, boys can be big jerks, but girl are too. Father issues are common, also the rapes and opposite sex disappointment. But i repeat, this is not an excuse to hide yourself into homosexual behavior. Even if you are handicapped or ugly, there will always be someone for you there.
Also, there is none without a past to continue this...

Well...someone is pretty angry. I'll leave you be. There's no point in this. You have made your decision. And by the way, i have a kid and it's growing up pretty normal. You on the other hand, will not have kids of your own. As a last resort you will have to adopt one or let yourself "invaded" with sperm. Good luck with that and have a nice life. Bye.

Lol. recently they found a way of changing already fully differentiated cells into generative cells. So in few years (most probably) 2 women can have child of their own. Men can't get pregnant, so they can't use it tho.

Yay my best wishes for you 2 ^_^
And yeah, there's no worse thing that parent treating his/her own child as shit just because it's not heterosexual.

Thx for blacklisting :D
I was never raped, mentally abused or I don't have father issues etc. I grow up with men and never was abused by them. So your logic is invalid.
Homosexual penguins, swans, dolphins, chimpanzes and so on too have fatherly issues? Good to know. And maybe you're not attracted to men, because at some point of your live you were so badly wounded by them? And this was so horrible you even displace memories about it? We can tell this kind of bullshits all we want, rly. Give me recent paper (not from 20 - 30 years ago) on subject "woman become homosexual after receiving abuse from men" and I will believe you.
It's not about choice, that way you could one day stand up and think that "hey, from now on I'm gay". It's most probably connected with genetics and / or certain mother hormones during pregnancy. Noone would "choose" to have miserable life (well in most countries it's like that, homosexual people are discriminated) - plus there are lots of abusive same sex relationships - why women there just don't leave their partner and enter amazing lesbian life?

Ha ha ha this part about anal sex is so true :D
They want it with their girlfriends, watch porn about it etc, but when it comes to "two men do the same thing I do with my gf" it's something bad xD
"Last thing i wish is for my kid to ask me why two boys or two girls are kissing and touching each other in public" => the answer for this question is the same as why boy is touching his gf in public. It's not that hard concept to get and kids aren't homophobic from time they're born. They're taught by adults that being gay is something bad.

Wwwwhhhhheeeeeeeeee another commemorative day that I'm passionate about is finally here!
May 17th is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia! As a gay young man myself I can say we've certainly come a long way from the time people didn't even dare admit such a thing publicly but we've also still got a long way to go till LGBT+ sexually oriented people are considered truly equals. Unfortunately where I live(Greece) same sex marriage, let alone adoption, are not yet legal like in some other countries or states but there's hope! Anyway I don't wanna bore you. I tried to look for an appropriately themed game for today and realised there's a real lack of games, even more on steam, that either deal with this topic or feature important characters of queer orientation. So I picked something where you can choose your own sexuality and isn't heavy on stereotypes.
Here you go
