There is a double standard and there probably always will be. People bring their own values and "morals" along with them and make judgements accordingly. When Chris and I were living together before we were married, we had lots of people "disapprove" of us. I decided that was their problem and really had no effect on my life, so fu<k 'em. I, personally, will never understand why gay couples don't hold hands in public, kiss in public, do any of the things that straight couples do in public. Yes, some people won't approve, but so what? Fu<k 'em.
As for someone being ousted from a gaming site because they stated who they are, that's wrong. Who cares if someone playing an on-line game is a lesbian? Where is the list of what is appropriate and what is not? Maybe they should make a check list of items and then approve you based on your answers. ie:
Lesbian
Gay
Homophobe
Christian
Nudist
Athiest
Hedonist
Swinger
Wife Beater
Pederast
Copraphiliac
Flirt
Polygamist
Asexual
Virgin
etc. etc. etc.
Would ANY of those things REALLY matter in an on-line gaming community?
