“The Queer Folk” Will Just Have To Live In Sin
From Salon: “…the [Lord of the Rings Online] design team wound up in a heated discussion over what restrictions should be placed on marriage. They debated not only gay marriage but also marriage between members of different species. Finally, the game’s executive producer settled the matter by pulling the entire marriage feature. “ (Thanks Andy!)

last night on brandywine my char ran across 5 male hobbits running around giving suggestions on dress coordination, cooking, gardening, and horn blowing (your call), so fear not salon character sexual preference minorities exist in game (at least in the midtown part of Combe).
