This thread is clearly being derailed by people who either miss the point, or are deliberately ignoring it so they can engage in some pointless horse-beating. This may just be my perspective as someone who pays attention to these things, but I thought it was pretty clear why this post was made.
Several years ago, an admin complaint thread was made accusing some RP admins of being homophobic. Why? Over several weeks a handful of players who happened to be playing gay characters got banned. In hindsight, it seems fairly obvious that clearly isn't the entire story of what happened. In the moment, though, I was around several RP regulars at the time. People seemed to genuinely believe that players had gotten banned for having a lesbian wedding in game.
Goonstation today is a very different (and I would argue better) place than it was back then. However, I feel like if a clarification like this had been issued at the time, a lot of grief could have been avoided. I am very glad we have it now.
