We have our own guilds that will aligning with one another. There are a few other glbt guilds that want to align with us so that we'll all be on the same server and create a sort of "gay server."

Do we have any other guilds we are aligning with at this time?

I was in the military and having to hide was not easy. In fact I did a horrible job of it. ;-)

Glad this fellow had such a positive experience with his father.

Big bear hugz to all those that serve in the military!

It's actually 102 now!

That's awesome! Here's hoping it launches soon! (maniacally gazing my at watch)

The repeal of DADT is surely a great thing. Lots of people have talked about the thousands of men and woman that were discharged under this policy, but this discrimination goes farther back. This is the first time in our history that gay men and lesbians are allowed to serve openly. The first soldier was discharged from the US Military in 1778.

LGBT peeps in Canada have been allowed to openly serve since 1992 and the sky is still were its always been...

Glad to hear the US is slowly but surely being dragged into the 21st century...

Congrats to all my US friends on another milestone for their gay rights!

As in the links:)

"Back in March we initiated our Pre-Launch Guild Program, where members of the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ community could search for already established guilds or register one of their very own through the Guild Headquarters page. We are thrilled to announce that we have begun the second phase of our Pre-Launch Guild Program!

With Phase 2: Alignment, we are introducing new features which allow guilds to set their allegiance with other guilds in The Old Republic. Now a guild leader, along with members who have the proper permissions, can select up to three guilds as either Allies or Adversaries, depending on their faction affiliation. Qualifying guilds that are marked as Allies and Adversaries of other guilds will have the highest chance of being placed in the game together, allowing these guilds to coexist on the same server.

Another feature being implemented with Phase 2 is the ability for guild leaders and members with the proper permissions to invite friends to join their guild via email. You can start recruiting new members today!

To learn more about guilds in The Old Republic, check out the Guilds Game System page for details, and to search for or join a guild, visit the Guild HQ now! Also be sure to visit the Guilds FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions"

Good for him, and I pray that he and all the others who come out don't get fragged.

Semper Fi!

Amen.

Courage comes in many forms.

Shared this with my friends and family on Facebook and quoted this line. Such a simple sentence, yet such a powerful statement. Thank you!

I didn't come out to my family until I was 28. The year prior, I had moved to the Albany, NY area, and when I did so, was determined not to live under any false pretenses. There was no "coming out" in this process, just as I met new people and we got to know each other, I would talk about who I was without fear.

But when I went back home the following Christmas, I remember each of the "coming out" conversations I had with the people I felt like I needed to talk with personally: first my dearest cousin and her husband, then my sister, my mother followed by my father (still married, but felt I needed to handle them separately to "tailor" my delivery (a discussion filled with empathy with my mother, and one that was a personal, but gentle, challenge to my father (an orthodox Roman Catholic).

As I stated in my brief Facebook page... I hope I get to see the day when these conversations aren't preceded by hours, days, weeks, months, or even years of dread.

Yes, Aldente is right, we will be paying attention to both Republic and Empire raiding once we have members who are able to do it. As with STO it may take some members longer than others to reach the endgame raids, but we hope those who do get there first will be willing to help others and pass on helpful hints and tips for everyone. I'd like it so that anyone can do a raid with the minimum of forward planning, and if anyone has any ideas on how to best do this, we would love to hear them.

Good to see the Yanks finally catch up with the rest of the west on this issue. Hasnt been a problem in the British armed forces, which im sure extends to the commonwealth nations too. This is a positive step, certainly. :)

Good for him, and I pray that he and all the others who come out don't get fragged.

Semper Fi!

Wow. My heart was racing right along his.

*wipes a tear* That was so touching and moving.

God, it brings back so many memories of the day I came out to my parents. It was, and still remains, one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. Luckily, they took it much better than I did. I couldn't stop crying for like 2 hours when I told them. Not that I was worried or sad, it was just that I had kept it bottled in for so long and it felt so good to finally let it out.

On this historic day, I want to express my congratulations and gratitude to all the military men and women who fight for our country. Thank You! I also wanted to share this wonderful vid that brought tears to my eyes of one of our service men coming out to his dad. Courage comes in many forms.

/salute

Congratulations to all. Looks like we are going to be in very good hands. Yet anothe reason for me to be super excited about this guild. :cheer:
