Apparently Tony Perkins and his anti-LGBT stormtroopers have nothing better to do than to complain about virtual same-sex relationships in the new Star Wars online game.
After first going after Girl Scout cookies, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins is now attacking the game Star Wars: The Old Republic for allowing same-sex relationships. Stephen Reid of Bioware announced that players in the MMO (massively multiplayer online game) could have “same gender romances with companion characters” as part of “a post-launch feature.” But enabling players to be in same-sex relationships is too much for Perkins, who in a radio bulletin entitled “Rebel Fleet Surrenders to Gay Empire” slammed the game for having “gone to the dark side.” He said that parents are angry “that their kids will be exposed to this Star Warped way of thinking,” urging members to “join them by logging on and speaking up. It’s time to show companies who the Force is really with!”
Really can’t wait until stuff like “same-sex relationships in X” doesn’t qualify as news anymore, because it’s a given as to how society works. If the FRC is reduced to complaining about stuff like this, then they’ve lost the argument. Also, Bioware? You guys kick ass on general principle.
