I would LOVE to hang out with more queer people! Your party sounds amazing. I myself am bisexual, but the group I was playing with was otherwise 100% straight men. The DM, also a straight man, was not comfy with Brian's antics but was largely nonconfrontational, and my husband even moreso (he's very shy). They both told Brian to lay off at different points, which was out of character for them and therefore quite a strong move, but Brian was kind of known as the class clown of the office (all the guys worked together) and kicking him out would've made a weird work dynamic.

What makes it hard for me is that we've just moved to Sweden, and making friends in a new country when you don't know the language/culture is really hard. This story took place when we were living in Denmark (also as internationals, did not speak a lick of Danish) and right after COVID, so our group was built around my husband's workplace as that was our only way to meet people.

I love our DM as a person, but I do resent that he didn't stick up for me a little harder. I think we both wanted to play D&D so much we were willing to "put up with" Brian more than we should have, because he was a lot of the driving force for getting the group together. It was just a shitty situation, and unfortunately, I think the inevitable outcome of a group being mostly composed of straight dudes.

If I'm ever in a place where I've made queer friends (or women friends), I'd be inclined to try again. I might even want to try DMing. I've got all the core books and look at them longingly from time to time. Someday!
