Row in America Over Gay Characters in EA Video Games
10th April 2012
Electronic Arts is being criticised by Christian campaign groups who say it is setting a bad example for young people.
Uh, where in their Articles of Incorporation does it say anything about ‘setting a good example for young people’ as one of their business purposes? Sell games, I would believe; make money, sure. But ‘setting a good example’? I don’t think so.
The company has reportedly described the complaints as “political harassment” and said the ‘gay’ content is only an customisable option, not a mandatory part of the game.
Some people need to learn to mind their own business.

My experience has been that ‘Christian groups’ are all about getting other people to set an example.
Evidently setting a good example in how one lives one’s own life is not sufficient.
