I was doing the new raid, and my team had gotten to the final boss part 2, ready to win this thing and get our sweet lewt. Well, that's what I had hoped. During conversation while building supers and such, the fact that I am a gay male came up. One of the guys in the raid goes "You're gay? Dude I don't wanna hear that." So clearly I got defensive. He was saying he did not want to hear any of my "gay shit" so I responded with saying I didn't want to listen to any of his straight shit and he went silent. His girlfriend was the fire team leader of the game, and clearly scared of him. But, she was trying to figure out why he was being so homophobic and awful to me when I had done nothing. Then, I'm kicked from the party after beating his point that every gay man wants to get with him. I told him to get over himself and just because I'm gay doesn't mean I want to -blam!- you. The girlfriend messages me she's sorry and she doesn't want to get on his bad side and said she "has" to kick me from the game. She had also, earlier at the Siege Tank, had to ask permission to do certain things like shower and even speak to this "man" that called himself her boyfriend. An abusive, homophobic, delusional male on Destiny that can't cope with the fact that some people are not exactly like him? Honestly I've never met someone who's done that before to me for that reason alone, that I'm gay. This community is toxic and is getting worse. Be safe out there guardians, cause obviously I have to keep my mouth shut about who I am to be able to play this game. ~Meta Edit 1: So apparently I'm in the wrong for being gay. I should just keep myself locked in a dark room with no food and water, right? No, if it comes up naturally in conversation, that's not my fault if someone reacts badly to it. It's the person reacting because their discriminating against something and someone that does not affect them in any way shape or form. This is not my fault for confirming to the team what was asked, there's was no need to lie or hide it. Edit 2: I am very appreciative towards everyone who is being sympathetic and empathetic towards me for this situation. Even from those who say they don't agree with being gay. I find it amazing how you guys are so much more accepting than someone I had been playing with for hours. And those who are saying to have kept my mouth shut about being gay, how bout you never say anything straight related again? Cause there might be someone that kicks you for it. That's how you guys sound. And it's ridiculous. Edit 3: those of you saying you've known people for years and that sexuality has never come up 1: you must not be so close to them and 2: just because it doesn't come up in your convos does not mean it doesn't come up on others. Edit 4: for those of you who would be willing to help me complete the last boss, I'm on Xbox one and my gamer tag is x9livesmeta ai, message me or add me Edit 5: most of you are asking how it comes up. We were building supers and talking about stuff not pertaining to the raid. The men in the group were talking about girls and girlfriends and they then ask me about my "girl" and I simply said, oh sorry, I like guys, no girlfriend here" and thus the situation in the post happened. It's not like we were playing and I just screamed I was gay. It was subtle and just telling the truth.
