LGBTA Guild Video

Hey Stonewall! I'm new to the whole youtube thing and an idea popped into my head when I was recruiting in Lions Arch. Some people don't know what LGBTA means and some people can be pretty insensitive to LGBTA members when they don't understand why we feel the need to have an LGBTA guild. So... I would like to answer some of those questions by presenting those questions to guild members.

I would like to start small and show you a list of questions that can be added to and answered. I'm thinking I may ask some members if they'd be interested to submit their answers as audio recordings or I may just post the text questons/answer depending on what everyone thinks. So... here are some of the questions. Please add any you can think of and answer any you are willing to:

Video Idea: LGBTA in GW2

Common questions we get:

1. What does LGBTA mean?
2. What does Ally from LGBTA mean?
3. Why the need for an LGBTA guild anyways?
4. Why does your sexuality matter in an MMO world?
5. Do you guys just talk about sex in guild chat?
6. I’m a guy/woman. Are you going to hit on me?

Questions to members of SWVG:

1. Why did you join an LGBTA guild?
2. In your experiences, what differences have you observed between a guild that advertises as LGBTA and a non-LGBTA guild?
3. What kind of conversations are normal in an LGBTA guild chat?

1. I joined an LGBTA guild for a more sensitive, relatable community, and personally so I wouldn't always have to pretend I was a guy or a girl without a mic if I decided to transition.

2. Online gaming guilds/communities often have a particularly offensive/insensitive personality or two, making lame jokes at the expense of others. It can be difficult to find a more open-minded gaming community outside of an LGBTA guild.

3. [strike]Dick jokes[/strike] Chat about the game, [strike]butt jokes[/strike] current events, [strike]hot guys[/strike] etc. In all seriousness, at the end of the day we are a community of gamers too hahah.

Stonewall is a diverse group, all levels of leadership work hard make people feel welcome.

None really, maybe I've been lucky. Still I'm more comfortable talking about my BF in Stonewall
