There's a difference between trying to escape from bigotry and avoiding talking about a fundamental aspect of your own personality. When people use "fag" or "gay" in a derogatory manner, that has *nothing* to do with sexuality and *everything* to do with prejudice and intolerance. I prefer GLBT friendly guilds because the **prejudice** is missing... The opportunity to speak plainly about yourself just like all of the privileged straight folk get to do should absolutely still exist.
