As I'm sure many of you are aware, in-game marriage ceremonies in MMOs have been a "Thing" for quite awhile now, whether they are virtual marriages between two characters being roleplayed or as a virtual ceremony for a real-life couple engaging in actual matrimony. I've grown pretty desensitized to this stuff, but yesterday I came across something that shocked me: a gay marriage in space, between two male avatars (and presumably male players, but I digress) and presided over by their respective corporations (I won't name names, but one of them rhymed with Loonbleet). I wasn't sure whether to petition this or what; this isn't your standard "gameplay issue" that you'd report to a GM; I just have to wonder where CCP falls on this. Are the 99% of us players doomed to have the outrageous political views of the remaining 1% pushed on us like this, or can something be done?

There used to be a couple of sites, which were rather odd. There was one in Onga, in minmatar space, and one in New Caldari Prime, in Caldari space.

A beacon that you could see on overview, forget exactly what it was called. Might have been "Ceremonial site"

Anyway, if you warped to it, there were a bunch of beacons, and some other LCO scenery objects. There were ones labelled such things as "guest beacons" and "bride beacon", "groom beacon" and such.

Possibly, it was intended to be used so that people could conduct ingame marriage ceremony things.

Was removed a while back, around the time when they redid planets, I think ?

Seriously? i dont know what to say to this. i could say you have ZERO life and you need to go outside more or check your sanity.
and if you want vertiual marriage play IMVU Sims or secound life.

The very idea made me choke on my soda.

Lets be serious here.

MALE AND FEMALE SPACESHIPS
YES

WE SHALL HAVE SPACEMARRIAGES, AND WE MAKE SPACEBABBIES(DRONES)

Then gay marriage will be illegal and CVA will fight against it
And nullsec will whine that highsec has an easier time marrying

SPACESHIPSEX? Thorax on megathron action You know that knob wants to fit in that slit. You know it
