I agree with Mustachio of the Turalyon realm (reply #10), I have high hopes for this Warcraft forum thread: “Why is homosexuality excluded from lore?”

Dear Blizzard:

I noticed that in the lore, there seem to be no LGBT (#*@@!%%, gay, bisexual or transgendered) characters. (I believe GLBT to be phallogocentric). Though hetersexual relationships are visible, there are no great passionate homosexual romances that seem to have occurred. Am I correct in this factual assertion?

If so, what does this imply? That in wonderfully magical Azeroth, no one is born gay, #*@@!%% or transgendered? O’Rly?

Why do the lore writers self-censor themselves when it comes to issues of sexual identity politics?

Would the lore writers please do us a favor and consider adding or modifying the lore to include at least 1 #*@@!%% character, 1 gay character, 1 bisexual character and 1 transgendered character? C’mon, throw us a bone here! It’s 2006, not 1906.

Respectfully Yours

(heh, lesbian is a naughty word in Azeroth.)

I think we all know the answer to that, but I anxiously await the corporately sanitized, politically correct response. I hope it includes the word “phallogocentric”.

(Holy shit! In the five minutes it took me to cut/paste this post, the thread grew to five pages. Go Go phallogocentric thread!!)
