Put me in the "I prefer to keep my personal life to myself." camp as well. Honestly, I really don't care if you are straight, gay, transsexual or any of the other various terms. It's a game, and your personal life is no one else's concern. Making a point of bringing up one's sexual preference or gender identity is not something that I really think anyone should be doing. That applies to everyone. I really don't care if you are straight, gay, man, woman or woman trapped in a man's body etc. Just pick a character and play the game. No one I have played with has ever cared if a man plays a female character. Heck, plenty of video games have females as the only role to play, and men are quite happy with that.

If people are bringing this up in-game because they feel they need 'acceptance', then it sounds to me like they are the ones with the issues and not the rest of us.

I don't care. Really. You're a (insert term here)...? Cool, can we kill this boss now?

It's a total non-issue to me, and I would rather not be forced into a discussion on the subject because someone feels they need to get it off their chest. Talk it out with a therapist if you need to, I don't play the game to be a counsellor to people. I play to have fun, and I keep my personal life personal. I'd love it if everyone else would do the same.
