It's events like these that make me wonder if we are just going the wrong way when it comes to human interaction. It was like when I learned that was a CON called Gaymer that was suppose to cater to the gay/lesbian communites that felt unwelcome at other gamer cons.
If we have to focus too much on the differences of others for fear of offending their tender sensiblties then I fear we are missing the point entirely on human intergration.
