What to Watch Out for in Your Players

[Delta]

Okay, to play devil's advocate here: If someone really came to me and said "I can't help it! I don't have anything against gay people but even the thought of encountering someone I know is gay makes me physically ill, scream and trying to run away! I know it's highly irrational, I've been seeing a therapist about it and taking medication" or something like that, okay, I guess I could personally accept that and ask everyone around the table if they were okay to accomodate that person.

But that's not what we're talking about here, is it? We're talking about "I don't accept gay people so I don't want to encounter any in gaming", and no, I still from the bottom of my heart do not feel this is something any table should have to accomodate or make any compromises for. And yes, this goes for other things too, if someone told me "I don't want to encounter any characters who are in any way religious in the game!", yeah, sorry, that's not a reasonable request to make.
