My experience on wikipedia as a gay man was dreadful. It is apparent that the homosexual movement has a great challenge on its hands in cyberspace |

Request reason: "If I am not unblocked were going to have a huge problem here. I am a Gay American and I should not be treated like this. This site is homophobic."
Decline reason: "Being gay is not a license to be purposely disruptive. Being American is not a license to be purposely disruptive. Request declined. -—PeruvianLlama(spit) 03:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)"

Request reason: "I was not disruptive. I was blocked because of my sexual orientation."
Decline reason: "It's fine if you're gay -- quite a few Wikipedians are, in fact. It's fine to express discontent with some Wikipedia pages. It's not fine to post graphic descriptions of sex acts all over every discussion page in sight. Currently you appear to be a troll, set on getting as much attention as possible. If you are trying to bring up a serious issue which needs to be addressed, please elaborate on that issue while being as specific as possible, naming names, naming pages, and linking diffs if at all possible. If you can do so, feel free to post another unblock request; if not, please review our community portal to learn more about acceptable behavior on Wikipedia. – Luna Santin (talk) 03:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)"

This is what I am talking about. That is unacceptable and made me go a little crazy. I am sorry for that but I am tired of being gay bashed on the internet. You seem like a reasonable person Luna. I am a reasonable person as well regardless of my sexual orientation.--Smokey Mountain George (talk) 03:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- I believe that was a tongue-in-cheek response, not intended to be taken literally. Off-topic discussions like that frequently wind up posted on Talk:Main Page, and are routinely removed -- it's a common misconception that the page is an "all topics" forum, which is not the case. Sorry for any offense caused. – Luna Santin (talk) 03:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
