Early indicators is that Blizzard is stepping away from their stance, calling it an ‘unfortunate interpretation of their policy’ (perhaps by an overzealous GM). Link from the offended guild posting the news can be found here. Kotaku notes that this began happening simultaneously with pressure for prominent gay-rights legal crusaders from Lambda Legal. WoW further goes on to say that the policy is ‘under review’ – where that leads, who knows.
Reading responses from the various threads gets kind of wearisome after a while, but they actually explain something succinctly – why would someone want to advertise their guild as GLBT friendly? Solely so you don’t have to group with the idiots spouting their opinions on this matter.
