Just stop. Please. You're trolling just like your buddy awhile back, attacking the person instead of arguing like a respectable adult. Don't use racist terms either, you've lost credibility.

I'm not specifically speaking of the starting seven being gay. First off, I said "imagine if." I knew it wasn't much of a possibility, and used the most extreme example possible, instead of saying "one of the starting seven was gay." Sure, I didn't know exactly how long the odds were, but shoot me. Secondly, me saying it's okay if I can mod it out was in reference to the entire gay feature in general, not in relation to the starting seven. One reason is the children. The other is that homosexuality doesn't suit my perception of dwarves, and would spoil my immersion. Other races, such as humans, I could see. So yes, I'll tailor the game so it seems more realistic to me.

So I don't care about the odds of a dwarf being gay.

Alrighty then, mod it. That's my discussion on your opinion of what dwarves should and shouldn't act like in respect to this. You can even go the full length and make all civilizations hostile to people who don't accept tradition and the importance of raising a family -- all without complaining about it.

I know. It was only a brief mention at the end of a post, but Putnam seemed rather incredulous.

Personally, I think having some diversity is a nice touch...especially left mundane and understated. It's not going to interfere with fortress life, and would make for great story fodder.
