Hold up.
This is actually a thing? :')
I'm a bit outraged - not even going to sugar coat it. Have these individuals even attempted to back up their rule with reasoning or...?
No, but I COMPLETELY agree with you.
**edit: I shall read reasoning a few pages back in to be open minded + I'm quite curious
In what I've read in the defense of no lgbt+ cats in clans, there has been the argument of realism and the uncertainty of the Erins claiming they would make a gay couple in the WC series. I'll be repeating things here, but I'm just going to recap a few points that I find very interesting in defense for keeping lgbt+ couples in all clans. First and foremost, there actually is the video, as seen in the first post! I actually didn't even know about this, so it was really awesome to see that the Erins wanted to experiment with the diversity of their cats. Then, a hella cool point was made that heterosexual feline couples are no different than homosexual couples in means of animosity and their lack of romance.

male cats are known to try to engage in the mating process with other toms, mostly for dominance, but even if the argument comes up "well it's not romantic", then guess what? females and males mating aren't romance, either. in the wild, cats survive, they fight, and their reproduction is only to carry on bloodlines. the only thing coming near romantic is if the cats have bonded over time and mate, and then take care of the kittens together.
^ that right there says it all! I can understand it if a leader were to be homophobic for personality purposes because of course there are people in the world that are like that so the realism and diversity is there in the form of homophobia. Most clans are very accepting, which is wonderful! However, as I have read before, I guess people are allowed to do what they want. You have my support on this one though. <3
