Hey, i'd like to know why gay people are not allowed. Of course it's canon, it's canon everywhere in the world. Just because Harry potter doesn't mention it...JK rowling doesn't talk about ALL the people who are in hogwarts. You never know what they do.
But since that's your rule, I'm not asking you to change it. It's just a note for you to think about - i think many people would agree with me.

I've already said I made the sight like I wanted it. I was on a different site that got out of control with homosexuals. So I came here and made my own so I didnt have to deal with that. And I have nothing against gays, I just wanted to try one without them. Feel free to make a straight charecter. Thank You.

First of all, 'Hmmm', this is not a, as you put it, a 'racist' site. Homosexuals are not a different race, nor are we racist, as you so blandly put it. So your threat of 'And Im pretty sure Invisionfree wouldnt like to hear about racist dudes using their servers either' is pretty useless. Especially because as, if you would pay attention, this is on Proboards, not Invisionfree.
Secondly, this matter has already been addressed. Pay attention.
This RPG is as canon as possible. So if Rowling doesn't mention it, we don't either. Its not being 'homophobic', its staying as true to the books as possible, without the original characters and plot.
So, if you have an issue, heres a tissue.

Not to be rude, but I'd like to point out, although it's not my place to do so, that when you sign up for an account, You agree to not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law.
So really, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what the admin are doing.

There is no such thing as 'slightly racist'. It either is or it isn't and in this case it most certainly isn't.
Take it or leave it, give in or get out. End of story.

i'd like to say something. though the admins have a right to do what they want, like Professor Berton is. but to say a gay or lisbian can't join, that's wrong. they have every right to join the board, just like straight people. to tell a gay/lisbian to create a straight character, it's like telling them that they're not wanted here. as much as i like it here, dead as it is, if you guys have something against gays and lisbians, i'll leave. i'm sorry, but for me, i respect all walks of life; including the walk Mello is walking. and if you can't respect me and my principles, then i have no place here.

Lol. Love ya to babe. ^-~
But I must say that I agree with Melody as well. Saying that people can't be a certain type of sexuality is pushing it. Asain people, I can understand for canon reasons, but if you don't want to see homosexuality, then you don't really have to read the threads. It's just that simple.
...If you keep this rule, I'll have to leave as well. It's not just for my characters, but I took a vow of silence for a day this year for my best friend, who is gay, and if I stay here with this rule, I'd be a hypocrite in doing so. If you insist on keeping this rule, then just go ahead and delete my character now.
