    This is the reason they gave Ferrago for banning advertising of gay guilds, there just seems to be a total lack of consistency, if what ^^^Kate said is true.
    Questioning the consistency of Blizzard is one thing though, comments like "Blizzard seem to have buried their heads firmly up the backsides of a 1970's anti-gay protestor. " is another.

    That's what I think, certain subjects regarding freedom of speech and people's rights I feel strongly about, I don't apologise for writing that statement, but I do understand if it upsets you.

    What gives you the impression im upset?
    I believe strongly in freedom of speech too, but it doesn’t alter the fact that the story is seems to be erroneous.
    In the first post you say: “A shocking move by Blizzard - no gays for us thanks.” A shocking post for sure, but I am unable to find any information on where Blizzard has said that gays are not allowed.
    In fact, a quick search still shows gay communities playing WoW fine, and im unable to find any references to where Blizzard has specifically targeted the gay communities within WoW.
    If you can provide links or references to this, id be grateful.
