    ??? I dont understand the issue here...and you guys didnt answer the question...
    im assuming you are going to say this is irrelevant to gamesalad..and yes it is, but that is why i posted it in miscellaneous...whats wrong with asking if a developer on gamesalad is part of the lgbt community? If i was asking of there were any Canadians on here, would i still be getting this cold shoulder :S

    let's not be rude guys, gamesalad is a welcoming community!

    @theovertop, we have a lot of international developers on the forums, many people may not know what lgbt means.

    What @jonmulcahy said

    @overtop - Don't know what the responses here are about, but things like this aren't usually discussed on the forums. Nobody openly discusses their private and personal life here, kinda like politics and religion, and some may feel uncomfortable doing so. But you have every right to ask.

    And if anybody harasses you from this point on, please let me, or any other moderator you see on the forums know about it, and it will be dealt with. We don't tolerate trolling of any kind. And feel free to PM me if you have any questions or comments.

    If it counts, I am genderfluid (meaning I do not identify as one gender all the time) and also asexual.

    @theovertop, why the sudden interest in this sort of thing? Would it make any difference what sexual orientation a game developer is?

    It's the same thing when people ask 'any other developers from Spain"? Or "any other people speak Swedish?" People like to seek our their peers.

    I will never, EVER, look at the question, "where are you from?" The same again

    On a more serious note this thread is a bit obscene if you ask me and should be shut down.

    Its not something anyone should be asking on the forums. Its a sensitive private subject for some. and this is not the place to seek them out. You wouldn't want to be treated differently because you are, and I/we surely don't want to be treated differently because I/we are not.

    Well I'm a man's man, but I've always had a soft spot for the film "Love Actually"...my wife says that makes me a bit gay...

    I agree with @tenrdrmer, and I'm going to close this. If anyone wants to share his/hers sexual orientation with @theovertop, please do so via PM.
