Description

This giveaway is sponsored by, Let's Be Gaymers Together, an LGBT Steam group.
LGBTQ Gamers and our Equality Allies are welcome to join us on http://steamcommunity.com/groups/LGBTFriends

Good Luck.

Information on Let's Be Gaymers Together;

We are an active LGBT Group, with almost a dozen moderators and hundreds of members who ensure the Bigots, Trolls, Baiters, and Haters are removed immediately. All of you are welcome to join us. We host game giveaways, encourage discussions, and are always looking for active gaymers and allies to join our group. In addition to Steam Gift giveaways, we also do in-group giveaways on our Group discussion pages.

I should also mention, we partner with Steam to report anyone who violates the Steam Terms of Service, with regards to harassment, threats, and other such behaviors. Violators will be reported and run the risk of their accounts being banned, and we have had several accounts banned already, so this is a very real possibility. Hatred, threats, and harassment within our group will not be tolerated. We strive to provide a safe, friendly place for LGBT Gaymers and their friends to belong, meet new friends, and socialize with others, without needing to fear bigots and trolls.

Thx

So like what you just talk about sex all the time? Is the group an easy place to meet bisexuals like myself that like to have multiple partners at the same time?

If that's not how it is, then I really have to say what the heck does my sexual preference have to do with playing video games!?

First off, let me just say that for you being bisexual, I suppose it would be a preference, for the rest of us who are not bisexual, it is an orientation. Preference denotes choice and is a euphemism used by evangelicals and conservatives to claim Gay and Lesbian people choose to be Lesbian or Gay. So, let's just clear up that little misconception right now.

Second, there are thousands of interest groups on steam. Thousands. If there is an interest in something, I'm sure someone, somewhere has created a group for it. Some of them have nothing to do with gaming, some of them do. I'm sure if you want to find a group who is all about bisexual multiple partners, there is one out there for you and good luck to you, but our group is not it!

Third, as has been clearly stated over and over again, both in the giveaway description, as well as under the group overview page, Let's Be Gaymers Together is a social group on Steam who enjoy playing video games. I think the title is self explanatory. It is a group designed to enable LGBT members of steam to come together, meet each other, be social, make friends, and find gamers whom they can play with. You don't have to agree with that, you don't have to like that, and frankly we don't care if you do or not! It is meant to be for people who want to socialize with other LGBTQ gamers, in an environment that is made to feel safe and accepting, for so many out there who may not feel safe or accepted. Just because you may choose not to see or understand the struggle of others who are LGBTQ, doesn't mean the struggle doesn't exist and is not a very real possibility for some.

Your frequent reference to safety leads me to believe that you are speaking about people who have been abused by family, friends, or others. Whether or not these people feel that they are safe, is a matter of individual belief. The law is clear in this matter. Every citizen of the United States is to receive the same treatment regardless of race, gender, or ideology.

However by joining a group exclusive to your sexual preference, you are no different than those who join a group exclusive to race, gender, or ideology. You are letting "Them" win, by creating a LGBT exclusive group, you have joined the Haters and are now discriminating against those who don't share your feelings.

You have turned your sexual preference into an ideology that separates you from those people who simply do not wish to hear about your sexual activities.

You seem to clearly have been offended by a description of mine, as your response indicates a clear distaste over responding to a legitimate question about the functions of your group.

A social group is by nature a place where people who share a common interest can meet, make new friends, and perhaps meet someone they would like to become more intimately acquainted with.

How do you expect the world to accept who you are if you will not accept the world the way it is?

When you face the world expecting fear and intolerance, fear and intolerance is what you create.

You have personally shown more intolerance than any other steam user I have ever met.

If you are the best example of your group that there is how badly will the rest of your group treat me?

You seem to be as intolerant as those who you say you fear, although you show no inability to defend youself, and a willingness to use your abilities to their fullest. Your title statement for this giveaway carries an implied threat, as does your response to me.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you will ostracize, blacklist, and even attempt to get those who don't agree with you banned!

You have created fear in me with your words and shown me more intolerance than my friends who are conservative Christians.

I personally accept friends of all race, gender, and ideology, as long as they are willing to show as much tolerance for me as I do for them.

If you, and by extension your group, cannot show more compassion, and tolerance to an individual such as myself, how would you treat my friends who don't Support your ideology?

Please do not reply with more hostility, I have had more than enough to last a lifetime.

You have made inferences to my opinions as being "Evangelical", I am an agnostic, I cannot with 100% certainty claim that there is No higher power. I do however believe that if there were, then that power would show No more interest in human sexuality then it would any other living creature!

You have also referred to my "Orientation" as a "Choice", which is exactly what people say about the LGT community, and in doing so have become the thing you claim you're against.

You're obviously a highly intelligent caring sensitive individual, but somehow you have become roped into this "Us" against "Them" mentality, that has created so much strife in this world.

I don't particularly enjoy having to repeat myself. As I said before, Lets Be Gaymers Together is a group for LGBTQ gamers as well as our allies. It really is simple and not that difficult to understand. It isn't exclusively for the LGBTQ community and I never made the assertion it was. Again, your repeated references to Sexual Preference, instead of the accurate term of Sexual Orientation, which we've already established is a Euphemism designed undermine the concept that people are born the way they are, leads me to believe you either have some sort of agenda, or are otherwise ignorant of the language you are using.

I don't recall anyone talking about sexual activities except yourself. I also don't think having an LGBTQ Steam Gamer group for LGBTQ Gamers and our Allies is in any way shoving anything, ideological or otherwise, down anyone's throat. I have also responded precisely toward every point you have made, whether or not you chose to read those responses is on you. You repeatedly attempt to make all of this about sexual behavior and I fail to see where that correlation lies. I'm not sure what intolerance you speak of that I have shown, because from where I stand I've been very forward and upfront about the inclusiveness of our group. Apparently, because we monitor the discussion boards and respond to member complaints about inappropriate behavior when people post hateful, ignorant, bigoted messages, threaten or otherwise attack members within the group, by either reporting these people to steam and/or removing them from the group, this is somehow being intolerant. This is perfectly legitimate behavior and happens across most social media on a regular basis.

I'm not sure what your ultimate goal with this exchange is, because it feels as though you are simply trolling at this point. You cherry pick my responses and in some cases even try to twist my words in an attempt to make your points. You claim I have made inferences when all I did was point out similarities between your language and the language Evangelicals use against the LGBT community. I did however make the very valid point that because you a self-professed bisexual, your orientation is in fact a choice, you have the choice to be attracted to both/either men and/or women. That is just a point of fact. I made that point, to denote how you were referring to sexual orientation as a preference, and I was pointing out how for Lesbian, Gay and Straight individuals it is not a choice, but for someone who is Bisexual, there is an element of choice available to whom they decide to be with. Obviously, you are looking for ways to make your point and attempting to do so with ad homenim attacks, claims of persecution, and so on. I don't think continuing to respond to this is healthy or appropriate as I have already made my point clearly and repeatedly.

Our group will continue to host occasional giveaways, promoting Lets Be Gaymers Together, as a social steam group for LGBTQ gamers and our Allied friends. We welcome new members and are excited when we find new friends to join us. If our existence is an ideology to you, so be it. If you are so offended by us being proud of who we are, that speaks more about you then it does about us. In any case, I'm done defending who we are and what we stand for, we're here, we're queer, and we're not going anywhere! Get over it. If you don't like it, then don't enter the giveaway. If you enter the giveaway, we thank you for taking the time to show your support by entering the game giveaway. We wish you the best of luck.
