Same-sex romances to be available on Star Wars: The Old Republic; Religious Right wanks
MaddowBlog on MSNBC: A long time ago, in a galaxy far far, a gay...

Apparently the whole Religious Right versus same sex-romance-in-Star Wars-video-games dogfight isn't over yet.

Quick rewind: Recently, BioWare, the makers of the massively popular MMO video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, decided that one of your role playing options should be a same sex romance. Diverse, the universe is, hm?
Newsarama via Yahoo! News has the report: Same Sex Romance Comes to a Galaxy Far, Far Away. Back to MaddowBlog:
Right on cue, the usual right-wing watchdogs got their midi-chlorians in a bunch and, just like here on Earth, they are trying to eliminate these rebel alliances.
The homophobia ruins the wank. Too bad, cluelessness on the order of Cowboy Bebop at His Computer would have made for great wank. The wankiest of all the complainers were the Florida Family Association, who made the image behind the cut.

It's kind of like when homophobes start whining that if men can marry men, no men will marry women any more. They're trying to say one thing, but they're so skewed that everyone else sees something else, i.e., the truth.

Indeed.

I love that complaint, because it's essentially saying that gay marriage is so fabulous that everyone would want it. <3
