"Gay Friendly"? That's an oxymoron.

Wow, what an eye-opener today...

I always thought friendship meant you would be treated with respect by your friends... obviously this is a value only I and a few others have. Ah well...

I'm closing a chapter in my life tonight. After over 2 years being a member of a gay "friendly" guild on Everquest, I have resigned from the guild. I put friendly in quotes, cuz that just isn't the case. It's sad that I would put that much time and energy into something, only to have it spoiled for me.

I can say one thing though, that NO ONE can take from me...

I accomplished my goal of having the highest Monk AND Wizard in the guild for over 6 months time. So I know I'm a good player.. or that wouldn't be the case.

It's funny.. but this experience has been very similar to my time with the Imperial Court system. I spent 5 years with the Alaskan Court, and did more successful fund-raising and performances for them than anyone before or since, and yet, when I needed a break or pointed out things that we're going wrong, I was instantly ostracized.

Ah well, I walk way from this one, with my eyes open, and with a knowledge as to who I can consider true in their hearts to the meaning of "gay friendly."
