GamezRanker: I am LGBT and I disagree on it's necessity(at least in most of the first world) and a good number of other LGBT I know/know of online/IRL feel the same.

You know what's actually unnecessary?

Corporate pandering(it doesn't really solve much if anything), and also others who think they know what's best for us trying to defend us(as if we can't defend ourselves).

paladin181: It's *far* more common in society as well. And that's a good thing. Without straight romance there is no human race.

my name is capitayn catte: Given the ever increasing world population, I think we could weather a small decrease in hetero-relationships. ;)

kohlrak: At that rate we have huniepop for lesbians, and huniepop 2 for lesbians or bisexuals and 1 transgender person. And how about The Witcher 3, since Ciri's bi? or The Quest, since there's the opportunity for encounters with both males and females (pretty shallow, though). I'm sure i could come up with more if i looked down my list..

EDIT: How could i forget Shovel Knight? And, Shantae's got some suggestion going on there, but nothing official.

paladin181: Birth rates are down in most civilized countries. The US is actually concerned about the slowing growth rate like fewer people would be a terrible thing.

my name is capitayn catte: Interesting. Japan is the only country I was aware of where the birth rate was regarded as dangerously low.

dtgreene: In Saviors of Sapphire Wings, you can change the main character's gender through reincarnation, which is something you can easily do for free in your room.

(Also, as I mentioned, a female protagonist results in things getting rather queer later on.)

dtgreene: ...

Except that the treatment given to transgender children doesn't involve anything permanent.
* Changes to one's presentation, or one's name/pronouns, are not lasting.
* Hormone blockers are easily reversible; if the child changes their mind, just take them off blockers and they'll go through puberty normally.
* Opposite-sex hormones are not usually prescribed to children.
* Gender affirming surgeries are not given to children, either. (The one case of genital surgery performed on youth, genital mutilation of intersex babies, is not one that I would consider "affirming", and is something that actually should be outlawed.)

apehater: exactly, one has to look on the bright side of live, less people in general implies also less assh#les. :)

Darvond: So they're shocked at things which occurs in nature and yet haven't gone out to slay the entire Bonobo population?

GamezRanker: Most LGBT in many first world countries imo already have good enough lives. Yeah, they're not perfect, but what in life is?

I feel that people(all people) need to learn to accept that at some point & live their lives, and not constantly push for a utopian dream that is likely(for the foreseeable future, that is) all but impossible.
(i.e. people should try to improve their life & that of others, while also being grateful for/learning to live with what they have in life)

That said, I am also more or less done with this......so if you want to chat further, my PM box is open.

GamezRanker: As I said, everything is political......i.e. there will always be more than one side to nearly anything.....pride/history months, gog events/sales, etc.

Sidenote: I am more or less okay with/supportive of LGBT being prideful....I mainly dislike companies like GOG and others using/capitalizing on said pride to "sell product and get consumers eager to buy new product".
