Wow, I had never imagined to encounter such anti-gay feelings on here -- from players, of course, but not from Blizzard.
The issue is that the mature language filter protects the feelings of many minorities (African-Americans, Hispanics, Italian-Americans, Jews) but not gays. I think Blizzard should extend us all the same sensitivity via the mature language filter. If you turn it off, hey, fair game.
I also maintain that this lack of sensitivity is due to the rampant casual homophobia in the gaming community. Which the previous comments and deletions confirm. If this has been posted before, so what? It obviously has not been addressed. So it bears repeating.
