Your analogy does not work here. The HUGE difference between all the identity issues brought up here is that it is far less likely for me to be exposed to offensive racial slurs while playing WoW then it is to see people calling eachother F*gs. It is important for LGBT (gay) players to be able to rely on a guild where they know that they will not have to deal with homophobic language, which is unfortunately ALL too common while playing WoW.
