Just now heard of that DOMA-thing (I'm not from 'merica). Wow, that's just fucked up. I'm glad EA is supporting the LGBT-movement, I've mentioned in the past how I bought DA2 based more or less solely on how Gaider handled that whiny, asshole, "straight male gamer"-piece of shit.
This kind of equates to a corrupt politician getting pictures taken while holding a cute little baby in order to get cheap votes.
They sound like they are only doing this for buisness reasons, but I don't care. Whatever the reason its nice to see another major company support LGBT rights.
I hate their business practices, but they get kudos for this. Although, seriously, we should never give a company special exceptions just because they're doing something very common sense. Homosexuality is becoming mainstream, and pretty soon, only the idiotic bigots at "news" outlets like Fox will be railing against it. Still, hats off to EA. Now fix your broken company policies, and we'll talk.
I live in a State where gay marriage is already legal, so I don't give half a shit.
I still hate you EA.

It's actually pretty easy to understand why gay marriage is hated in this country: Christianity and all the extremists living inside this religion too scared to realize they're following it like sheep. Now, I'm not saying I have anything against ALL Christians, because I don't. That's just what it boils down to simply because politicians want their votes and there are more Christians out there that think gay marriage is a horrible, sinful thing who make up a lot of votes. So in the end, extremist religious fanatics and corrupted politicians greedy to screw up everything they can once they hold onto some kind of power.
Now, if by any chance I am wrong in my thinking (and what I mean by wrong is that I'm actually wrong in whose fault it is, not just because you disagree with me simply because I hurt your feeling by being right), I'd like to hear why you think so.

It's a bit more complicated that that.
For starters, it's cultural, not religious. The view that homosexuality is "unnatural" predates Abrahamic religions, all the way back to Greece (yes, THAT Greece).
Although Christianity is the most known organization for it's intolerance towards homosexuality today, it is by no means the only one. Many secular dictatorships also made it a crusade to eradicate same-sex relationships and the basis of social corruption.
Why? They're an easy target. Whenever you need to divert the blame for whatever is happening you target whatever falls outside the Status Quo, which in the case of this century has been the so-called "family nucleus".
Most of this comes from a western-civilization view of the role of sex in society, which is reflected on the religious systems that formed within it.
So why is the US so bad about it? Because it's founded by puritans escaping prosecution in Europe for being different. Ironic, isn't it?
The weird thing is that if you ask the average Christian citizen what they think about gay marriage, most will answer with an uncompromising "I don't like it but I don't care" until someone else tells them the land will burst in flames if they don't stop it from happening.
Who teaches these people they will be judged for what their neighbors do?

As terrible as their business practices are it's good to see a big voice like this take a amicable stance on something.
The only real objective of a large corporation is making money for it's share-holders/members... period. So factor that into this equation to see that they made this decision based off the thinking that it will financially benefit them. Doesn't mean that them supporting something is bad... just know there is only one reason it was done. Obviously the same goes for all large corporations and it has to be since the absolute focus and purpose of corporations is profit for members/share-holders. And personally this type of "thing" we have created needs some revisions for the general well being of... well I guess really all of earth and everything on and in it.
...PS, I promise I'm not some extreme environmentalist either if it sounded like it. Also don't think I mean much in the way of governmental revisions, I think more a change in the people is much more important and much more needed. I'm not much on most laws really.

This is nice I guess, but it doesn't stop their business practices from being shite. If your willing to employ married gays, then awesome for you, you moved 2 steps forward, but if your then willing to make them work impossible ours just to ultimately drop their studios because their game underperformed on your proprietary digital service, well, you just moved 4 steps back.
Everyone needs to get out of everyone's shit, any way and let each other just live. Something that's not really exactly easy now that we've made it, and openly accepted, that everyone should have access to our lives through so much social media.. There used to be some solace behind closed doors, now.. not so much peace at all. Life's oppressive enough without other people, we really need to remove the extra layers.

I'm sure a senator or two would claim its against butt piracy.
