This is a petition to remove This thread from the community spot light.
Gaia has a huge homosexual userbase, advertising a service that has "All same sex wedding requests will be ignored." in the rules is just plain inappropriate.
Especially as Gaia decides to reveal in the valentine manga that an NPC is gay.
By signing this petition you wish for the chapel to be removed from the announcement, Gaia may replace it with a more accepting chapel, and Gaia will promise to be more careful in the future when deciding to advertise threads like it site-wide.
TL;DR:
"The point is, we don't have a problem with that chapel not wanting to do same gender marriages. It's that Gaia is promoting it."

I removed that rule now, but my thread is closed because I have lots of orders to do. So sorry if i hurt anyones feelings.
Which would be lovely if she had actually removed the rule and not replaced it with "All weddings should be between a male and female!".
She has also posted explaining why she still will not be accepting homesexual marriages.

My parents don't like it, they think it's gross and wont let me. And they allways walk by the computer every few minutes... so... Thats it. I dont have so much hate and anger against them as some would think, but I can't do their weddings. i will try and find an employee to do them though.
The petition will remain until the chapel is removed from the spot light.
After this thoughtful PM from an admin I'm just going to give up on the petition, Gaia obviously could not give two shits about its users anymore.

Hello,
it is a user-run service and that Gaia is not affiliated, and we don't
endorse what they do, we just spotlighted it
The Wedding Chapel is a user-run service, and Gaia Online is not affiliated
with it. We merely spotlighted this as we spotlight many other things per
month.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may has caused, as we did not
spotlight this to intentionally offend anyone.
Have a nice day!
