Thanks for bringing this over here. I'm going to see if we might get 1 more guy to balance things out as the concept of sharing the guys may not appeal to the group at large.<br/><br/>On the topic of homosexuality, bi-sexuality and so on. The game was concieved for these very ideas. The post that I made was more a very, very broad viewpoint of people of the 50's rather than saying, "no, don't do that." There were a lot of topics that were simply not spoken of, include homosexuality. There weren't a bi-sexual option. You were either gay or straight. You couldn't like both sexes. We know that's as false as saying that it didn't exist at all. Pregnancy, abortion, sexuality in any form were really taboo topics.<br/><br/>Girls didn't get pregnant, they got "in trouble." They might disappear for a few weeks/months to a family's home, then return (or go into a convent and never return) and nothing was ever mentioned at all about the resulting birth or termination. We know in hindsight that most of the babies went out for adoption, but no one ever spoke of the event again.<br/><br/>Homosexuality was conducted almost exclusively in the closet, so to speak. How your friends and family reacted to it could be excessive, so it was safer to stay quiet and hope that you weren't caught kissing your friends.<br/><br/>Pornography was also present, and mens magazines were as often as not the way that boys satisfied their early desires. the "lodge" might show one every couple of weeks to the catcalls and heckling of the audiance in some basement.... but it did exist in abudance.<br/><br/>Anything except for the missionary position was, of course, frowned upon... even though bondage was a facet of life and as were some pretty serious kinks.... again, these things weren't talked about because they weren't "normal"<br/><br/>Anyway, how the characters respond to one of their friends admitting to being attracted to their own sex will be up to the players, but I would suggest that a "oh well, what's the big deal?" would not be appropriate for the times. Reactions could range from "Cool! Can I watch?" to "Don't talk to me anymore!" and beyond.<br/><br/>At any rate, homosexualy, the exploration of it and how it effects the characters is definantly acceptible in the game.
