EA and GLAAD to hold panel against homophobia in online games

Posted Jul 15, 2009 at 6:10PM EST by Mabie A.

Listed in: Tags: Electronic Arts, Maxis, Microsoft

Electronic Arts and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) will be hosting a panel entitled "Homophobia in Virtual Communities" to discuss methods on how to combat discrimination and hatred language in online gaming communities.

Included in the panel are GayGamer Founder Flynn De Marco, Maxis Senior Producer Caryl Shaw and XBL Program Manager (aka virtual bouncer) Stephen Toulouse. Toulouse's participation in the panel is significant because of the various controversies that Microsoft has found itself dragged into in relation to their policies that are allegedly homophobic. The company has since pledged to have a second look at said policies to address the complaints.

The event will be held this Saturday, July 18th, at the EA headquarters in Redwood City.

if the gays didnt go out of their way to tell everyone that theyre gay there wouldnt be a problem. i dont run around telling everyone im a straight male, no, i just say that im male. online video games arent a dating service, so keep your sexual preference to yourself.

and no im not being homophobic.

# rightly said — Freya 2009-07-15 21:39

Unless their ign or w/e is like telling everyone they're gay...

# dude — JOshISPoser 2009-07-15 22:30

that doesn't make me believe you aren't gay...you need to get out of your closet.

it's people like you that made them have a parade so they can safely say they're gay.

we shouldn't live in a society where people like you are afraid to admitting to being gay

# lol — Echo307 2009-07-15 23:16

This guy has his act together... what better way to agree with what was said in the article than to come on and flame away against the gays. I'm also a bit baffled by the second to last paragraph that talks about creating an anti-gay bar... I must've missed the memo that said straight people aren't allowed to go to gay bars... weird.

# WHERE IS THE "JUMP DOWN" BUTTON? — GUNBEHINDTHESUN 2009-07-15 23:48

Well if homophobic is the fear of a man wanting to ram his ***** in my ***** hole then that makes me HOMOPHOBIC! I think that there are real mental issues involved if a guy lusts after something with the same properties as a sewer pipe. Any argument of pleasure just shows the true realisation of confusion which means a girl needs to take him and show him why guys are better of normal.

# NakedFaerie well said! — GUNBEHINDTHESUN 2009-07-15 23:56

It's scary to think of all the all these guys on here that like it in the ass.

# its the internet — symbyosis 2009-07-16 00:58

racism, sexism run rampent on the internet because its unfiltered. Sorry, but gay people need to get their tampons out of their butts and realize, ITS THE INTERNET.

# NakedFaerie — symbyosis 2009-07-16 01:02

lol I just read your post, yeah I like big boobs, but it doesn't mean it should be shoved in people's faces either.

# WOW... — danielakadanny 2009-07-16 01:53

lol at a LOT of the coments like lavino's and even though symbyosis is right its the internet...people around the world use it...

ok my ?...ok no offence at all but do homosexuals get offended being cakked straight?like how straight guys hate being called gay?*straight guy:haha u dumb straight person Gay guy:stop CALLING ME THAT!!!!!(in a whiney voice)...please people it a JOKE!!!!!...but I do want to know the answer

# Wow... — Uberoth 2009-07-16 01:58

It really annoys me when people associate Being gay with ass-sex, two completely different things

# No — Uberoth 2009-07-16 02:03

It's about not wanting to be alone

# Sorry — Uberoth 2009-07-16 02:16

I wasn't really clear, people come out because they don't want to be alone and so that they can find someone, it's not like gay people can magically tell if someone else is or not

# Leviticus 18:22 — NakedFaerie 2009-07-16 02:56

*originally posted by Nakedfaerie*

In the King James Version, Leviticus 18:22 is translated: \\\"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.\\\"

It\\\'s wrong to be gay.

Who were the 2 first people on earth. I dont think it was Adam and Steve.

If you dont like it then die and see where you go. Hope you like it warm.

I dont think people want to see another man kneeling down in front of Duke Nukem.

Or what about That Halo dude bent over a box.

I dont think you will see Rid***** with balls on his chin.

People dont want to see that. It wont sell games. it wont sell at all. it\\\'ll ruin a system if you have that sort of crap in a game.

# Wondering — apex05 2009-07-16 03:22

You gotta wonder why so many people here are homophobic, i mean if you feel secure about your sexuality then why do you get so worried when gays get close?

# dude shut the F*** UP!!!!!! — kunkuno 2009-07-16 03:22

do you really belive the crap wrote by people a couple of thousands years ago???

they where ignorant and they had to answer their questions with the first crap to came to their minds.

im straight but respect gay people, if they came out like they do now its because all the hate people show them (most of them religious), i have meet gay people who came out of the closet very late in their lives cause they could not hold it anymore, when they realise being gay wasnt something they could choose not to be.

cause being homosexual for them is as normal as being straight to us, would you like the idea of someone else telling you that is wrong to be straight?

# Yeah — Shardnax 2009-07-16 04:02

"do you really belive the crap wrote by people a couple of thousands years ago???

they where ignorant and they had to answer their questions with the first crap to came to their minds."

Answer me this, how did the universe start, and I mean where did all the matter come from, 'cause it certainly didn't appear and explode out of nowhere.

"most of them religious"

You have some serious issues with religion don't you? It seems like you're leaning more towards one religion in particular, be specific.

"being gay wasn't something they could choose not to be"

That's a mechanism to cope with the fact that it is unnatural, otherwise we'd all be able to reproduce with either sex, or like sponges, be asexual.

I'm not homophobic, I just dislike homosexual people, it has nothing to do with insecurity about my sexuality, and if that's the best you can throw at me, that's pathetic. If someone wants to be gay, they can do so without trying to force the belief that is is normal or they didn't have a choice on people. Thinking that doesn't mean I'm afraid of them, I could just as easily punch a gay man as I could a straight one. So hop off the bandwagon for a second and stop pretending to care.

# Are you sure — Uberoth 2009-07-16 04:29

That what you're saying is not a mechanism for dealing with gay people being born like that? It's not like it's been proven that they aren't, if you are going to argue about something you need some form of proof not just your own personal opinion

# Are you aware — Uberoth 2009-07-16 04:32

That Genesis hints at there being more than one God?

# Found a better one — Uberoth 2009-07-16 04:53

"An engineering professor is treating her husband, a loan officer, to dinner for finally giving in to her pleas to shave off the scraggly beard he grew on vacation. His favorite restaurant is a casual place where they both feel comfortable in slacks and cotton/polyester-blend golf shirts. But, as always, she wears the gold and pearl pendant he gave her the day her divorce decree was final. They're laughing over their menus because they know he always ends up diving into a giant plate of ribs but she won't be talked into anything more fattening than shrimp.

Quiz: How many biblical prohibitions are they violating? Well, wives are supposed to be 'submissive' to their husbands (I Peter 3:1). And all women are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy 2:9) or dress in clothing that 'pertains to a man' (Deuteronomy 22:5). Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury (Deuteronomy 23:19), shaving (Leviticus 19:27) and clothes of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19). And since the Bible rarely recognizes divorce, they're committing adultery, which carries the rather harsh penalty of death by stoning (Deuteronomy 22:22).

So why are they having such a good time? Probably because they wouldn't think of worrying about rules that seem absurd, anachronistic or - at best - unrealistic. Yet this same modern-day couple could easily be among the millions of Americans who never hesitate to lean on the Bible to justify their own anti-gay attitudes." ~Deb Price, And Say Hi To Joyce

# Homosexuality is gay :/ — ThisIsMyNewName 2009-07-16 05:06

I wish all gay peoples parents were gay :/ they would never have been born and neither would you.its not ****ing natural...imagine if your parents were gay..the worlds going wild now with gay extremists and abortionists and what not.cant we just play a simple damn online game with being harrased by gay people? theyre a ****ing pain in EVERYONES ass.damn sissies :/

# ... — Uberoth 2009-07-16 05:27

"I wish all gay peoples parents were gay :/ they would never have been born and neither would you." - through that logic nobody would be alive

"the worlds going wild now with gay extremists and abortionists and what not." - No type of extremist is better than the other, gay and straight extremists tend to be just as bad

"cant we just play a simple damn online game with being harassed by gay people?" - get your facts straight, gay people haven't been going around harassing straight people in online games about being differant

# that — JOshISPoser 2009-07-16 05:44

was awesome Uberoth.

Finally, someone who realizes the bible is B.S.

Just about everything back then that took more than 2 seconds of thought is wrong.

I like you man. That was good

# i can tell — JOshISPoser 2009-07-16 05:47

you what, if i wanted to be 100%, i would be. I live in a shallow community and being gay isn't exactly easy.

I don't know how to tell everyone i know but my friends accepted me instantly when i told them. They know i'm not just gonna rip their pants off and do them up the butt.

So, first hand, it's not a choice to be gay, it just happens. It is a choice to marry gay and stuff, but denying that and you are just an ignorant hater.

# *corrections* — JOshISPoser 2009-07-16 05:50

i meant 100% straight. But, thinking about it, women can be *****es sometimes and i just wish communities accepted gays more, cause guys are just better than women in so many ways.

I'm not being chauvanistic, i just like them more.

# OK...... — the by 2009-07-16 06:15

First off, the meaning of life:

1)be born

2)eat

3)sleep

4)sex

5)have kids

6)be happy (play game consoles)

7)Die

Hmm, could be a problem with no.5 if you're gay! Using Turkey basters seem to be just wrong!

Second, there are people that are quoting the bible yet this book is a money making tool! don't believe me? go to the Vatican where its dripping with gold!

Third, and this is the important bit, is that if they kept their sexual preferences to themselves, we wouldnt be having this discussion! I wouldn't go walkiing down the street with my hand on the wifes backside, so why should I have to watch a couple of gays do it?

They're wanting to be more equal than equal!

# Ugh... — girandhistacos 2009-07-16 07:28

stupid troll is stupid

# do you realize what you're saying "they by"? — JOshISPoser 2009-07-16 07:49

just cause you don't, doesn't mean they shouldn't.

why can't they?

They should be treated equally and be able to say they're gay and do whatever.

I'm sure you would have been one of the people that was all like "idc if you like black people, but you don't need to be going around and treating them like us white folks"

# @NakedMoron — FelisCatusLover 2009-07-16 08:35

You my friend are a conservative, and like all conservatives, you should be burned alive. You are the reason religion should be banned because people like you cannot get it through there thick skulls that NOT EVERYONE BELIEVES IN RELIGION. It's not wrong to be gay, it's wrong to be a conservative.

# @ icypsp — Uberoth 2009-07-16 08:51

God you're such a whinny little *****, I'm not even going to try and argue with you (even though I have several arguments at hand) a person who talks like you do about anyone does not have good moral values, and this has nothing to do with religion

# naked faerie — 73N5H1 2009-07-16 08:57

actually any straight person can go to any gay club or join in on any gay parade... I have straight friends that go to a gay club around here some weekends, there's no rules against it.

# ... — 73N5H1 2009-07-16 09:05

gays, blacks, women, and immigrants already have plenty of protection... the group that needs protection are people just trying to look how they want, people with unnatural hair colors, tattoos and piercing... these people are STILL discriminated against daily with absolutely no protection. I even wrote a letter to the Equal Employment opportunity commission and all they did was tell me the same thing I already knew... there's protection for discrimination against people for race, religion, disability, gender, age, and sexuality, but none for appearance. I have a friend that was turned down for a job for being overweight the other day and I've been turned down for numerous jobs for tattoos, piercings, and hair. I'm still waiting for a rights movement on that.

# icypsp — 73N5H1 2009-07-16 09:10

# ... — 73N5H1 2009-07-16 09:19

Shardax... yeah, because not knowing the answer to how the universe started automatically means that it had to by the way that it says in this crappy book from thousands of years ago written and changed by multiple people seperated by hundreds of years.... I see your logic there... you argument is a fail.

I can give you the same crap answer me this, where did your god come from cause he certainly didn't appear and explode out of nowhere. You haven't answered anything by being religious and your too *****ing dumb to even realize it.

# thisismynewname — 73N5H1 2009-07-16 09:22

@Uberoth

B!tch please, im the little whiney *****, fool i read your comments. You just mad because i made strong point against lames like you. and FYI, i have good moral values but, it just grinds my gears when i hear about this sort of nonsense. Not to mention its the fkn internet, i just dont give a fk. H3ll its not like our opinons fkn matter anyway, whether for or against this. All qj do is post the shht and let us leave dumb @ss comments. Whether or not they really do make sense, or make a strong point. If you really want to make a difference, get the fk off this website and take your shht to a place where you can make a change. Maybe we\'ll be reading a post about you. And then ill post another dumb @$$ comment.

And when it comes down to the end, who the fk cares, this really aint affecting you or me, its them not us, and this sure as h3ll aint making us richer. Just say fk it. but then again i will still throw my 2cents in.

# K — ThisIsMyNewName 2009-07-16 11:09

Uberoth- "through that logic nobody would be alive"- exactly why gayness in humans isnt natural

"No type of extremist is better than the other, gay and straight extremists tend to be just as bad"-True

"get your facts straight, gay people haven't been going around harassing straight people in online games about being differant"-No they dont,but they do try to manipulate the minds of young children into thinking its normal behaviour

73N5H1-by "the rest of nature" do you mean animals and plants? were humans guy...not dogs and plants.

# guys — Guest 2009-07-16 12:39

we appreciate the very stimulated conversation going on in this thread, but keep it clean or we will take the banhammer out.

this article is simply about a symposium. no need to get all incensed or worked up. in fact those of who you took extra from your precious time to post full rants against homosexuality only prove the point of why a symposium such as this needs to happen.

if you have nothing substantial to contribute, do not bother clicking on that Submit Comment button.

thank you.

# you can control that — JOshISPoser 2009-07-16 13:57

all those things you listed in the middle of your paragraph, you can't control. the stuff you're *****in about, is all your poor choice.

# pretty good mabie — JOshISPoser 2009-07-16 14:00

# Wow. — xInSoMnIaTiCx 2009-07-16 14:59

If those are things the Bible actually mentions then.. I'm glad I only took the time to read it when I had to. If I read it all the time, I wouldn't be able to move without committing a sin. Lol.

# Shardnax, you ever think of... — GUNBEHINDTHESUN 2009-07-16 15:10

If God made man in his image, where is the woman God? Also why does everyone call God a he? Didn't God invent the whole idea of he and she. Also if God made everything, then that means God made himself. My idea of God is all matter/energy everywhere IS God, and that includes me and you being part of the experience of God. God is the Creation and the Creator combined. If a being stronger than I came to me and told me that it was God, I would deny it because of that very fact.

You need to learn science and realise that matter is neither created nor destroyed and that energy is just a reaction from matter moving from one state to another.

# So your saying... — GUNBEHINDTHESUN 2009-07-16 15:14

# wait, wait, wait — JOshISPoser 2009-07-16 17:40

It's a freedom thing to say what you want, but a guy can't say he's gay or a girl can't say she's a lesbian?

That's quite contradictory. Good job for loosing all of your opinion.

# thank you — icypsp 2009-07-16 20:01

I agree with you 100%

Im not a homophobe neither, i just hate this crap that iam constantly hearing about over the media.

# @ Religion — jk1227 2009-07-17 01:52

Christianity does the same thing as Homosexuals do of forcing their lifestyle, but way worse. In most instances throughout history, you either convert to Christianity or die. Compared to the Homosexuals just saying they're gay is not a big deal. They may throw it in your face, but big deal. If you walk away and just choose to ignore it you will be a better person than taking out your stupid little religious frustrations about how homosexuality is wrong. Go get a life

# No use — Walo 2009-07-17 03:43

Most gamers don't like being language regulated in online games and I don't see how they are going to change that. Specially when 90 percent of the online talking are obscene or humiliating words. It's like tossing a stone to an open window.

True, EA does not make most of their games, but they give exact details on what they want done to the actual development company's. They will say stuff like "don't spend over $100,000 on the new NFS." Some games they actually do make though, like The Sims, they own Maxis which is the developer.

# fair warning — Guest 2009-07-18 23:35

i believe i've given you all sufficient warning on this thread, guys. unfortunately, some of you just cannot be stopped from spewing toxic hate.

yes, freedom of expression is your right. but it is never absolute. while we do respect your opinions, we, as the site hosting your expression, also reserve the right to ensure that the discussion does not lead down a malignant path because of your personal prejudices and biases.

and calling for outright violence is not tolerated in this site. the usual bickering, we can let pass. but suggesting the killing of a group -- of anyone for that matter -- we cannot.

as i said, you all have been fairly warned. the banhammer will be knocking on your doorstep soon enough.

to those who complied to my request earlier and actually practiced restraint and prudence in their replies, thank you.

may you continue to contribute to healthy discussions on QJ in the future.

# Just as I expected!! — yarod_g14 2009-07-19 02:21

Wow!!

That was exactly what everyone expected from such a thread, complete anarchy.

I have been playing online PC games for a long time and I never used to notice homophobia or racism.

The chat channels are set up differently and more often than not you are only talking to people you already know or have organised to play against. The sort of angry child chat - which more often that not referencing gays or n*ggers detrimentally was not seen.

I suppose thats becasue you generally had to have a level of intellegance and your own funds to be able to get a PC install a game and get connected to the internet.

I played Tribes 2 online for SOOOOO long with open Chat channels and people were generally so well behaved that I could never have forseen this future where IT HAS BECOME BLATANT FASHION TO USE THE WORD GAY AS AN INSULT!

Before playing PC games and chatting online I used to own a Citizen Band radio (local range) which again did not have huge amounts of racism and homophobia. I think its gennerally because users of all of these mediums always had Peers - people they knew and interacted with. There was also an older group of in the know/cool people to look up. I would always be looking up to someone or another and the comunities were self supporting - People knew each other.

I can remember one young chap who reminds me of these young people on here. His dad was racist and anti gay. The young guy knew there were non white people on the chat channel so he had to curtail his racism but it made his homophobia go out of control. He HAD to HATE SOMEONE!! The only male role models in his life were facist bigots :( they must have filled his head with hate EVERY day and pointed at the Catholic book for their excuse.

Now days I get the feeling many would see him as a marta and support his view!

......back then me and my friends felt free and happy with everything EXCEPT HATE!!

This young chap learnt that he couldnt troll without facing the consequences of educated discussion at which he had no experience so more often than not he found him self completly unable to support his views without using the usual comments..... i.e its in the bible I must be right......my Dad said so.

~Now I can clearly remember the first time I played on XBOX live - quite a few years back on my mates copy of Raven Shield or somehting Tom clancy....

The first thing I noticed - all the kids getting so excited and running their mouths off without any kind of hinderance. There was a group of under 15 year olds all hyper excited on their game yelling racist and homophobic insults at each other hour after hour after hour.

To be honest, I dont get on with online console FPS games, my roots are squarly with Mouse and keyboard but this experience made me fully aware of wht the future held for non moderated chat channels that were full of frankly ignorant kids.

I dont want to say that facist bigotry its an american problem but it might actually be the case....and this might be why it is spreading to England...

Were we playing against Yanks all that time ago on XBOX live? I cant really remember but something tells me that it was an open server - UK and US.....if that was ever possible? Seems like lagtastic to me...

So all in all, we are exactly where it seemed we would arrive.

I think the fact that GLAAD have been invloved has kind of exasperated the whole issue.

All these kids on here appear to be upset that a "Gay" or "Lesbian" or anyone "not normal" (God damn when will you learn there is no such thing as normal you brain washed MTV fodder) is telling them not to cuss so they get even more excited as homophobia is currently the only avenue for all this hate!

Well they sure as hell cant be racist any more as they will more likely than not have people around them that are not from the same country/group and it will cause them trouble.....

I cant see a way to stop American kids shouting Gay as an insult - I think it might be easier in europe as we do seem rather ahead in the ...

It's like hitting a child and stealing the candy. You guys react way to easily to things.

How did this get turned into such a pile of bigoted garbage?

All this article is about is a group of people getting together to figure out a way to keep 12-year-olds from calling each other *****s on Xbox Live.

While I have stated that I don't feel comfortable around some homosexuals actions(i.e, touchy feely, campness etc) I do have homosexual friends! they know the score though that I don't like it pushed in my face, and they respect that!

So JOshISPoser, dont you dare try to imply that i'm homophobic, coz you're soo wrong! I just keep myself to myself and expect the same from others! ;)
