Spambots hit AllOut.org

The AllOut.org petition to support EA Games offering gay romance storylines has been hacked. Anti-gay groups accuse EA Games of using spambots.

“The story is about how organisations like the Family Research Council, the Florida Family Association, and the American Decency Association are fighting to take away LGBT rights. Of course EA Games will benefit from people standing up against these groups.”

Challenge the Dark Side!

AllOut.org have started a petition to oppose the angry few who do not want EA Games offering its players LGBT romance options.

“When organisations like the Florida Family Association and the American Decency Association organise campaigns based on myths and outright lies it is critical to demonstrate opposition. It is important to take a stand against the use of prejudice to intimidate.”

The latest scare in the ‘culture wars’.

EA Games is set to give players the choice to play as L, G, B or T in Star Wars: The Old Republic and Mass Effect 3. And the ususal groups are writing angry letters.

“If the gamer can choose to be anything other than straight, all that society holds dear is under threat. Quick men, grab thy Elven brides and protect thyselves!”
