Discrimination has already occurred. To think otherwise is to fool yourself. Quite literally the only non-discriminatory options are 1) to NOT say that the marriage system will start with straight-only marriages and to release it without gender restrictions, or 2) to not release a marriage system at all but provide craftable wedding gear that anyone can use to RP their own weddings.
That's it. Anything else is either passive discrimination through inaction or the delay of action, or actively discriminatory in the case of the possibility (/high/ possibility, as it's something they've already said they'll do) of releasing the marriage system with gender restrictions. Waiting to "discuss" this issue is discrimination. Waiting for "feedback" is discrimination. Because all of that implies that a marriage system without gender restrictions is somehow less, somehow dangerous, somehow wrong and something that needs to be carefully considered - but it is not.
Quit with the power words like 'foolish'. You're hurting your cause every time you use strong words against your own fellows. We do not have to agree on the extent of things, but we're fighting for the same thing.
When you fire on your allies, what do you even have to gain? Quit undermining the admirable stance you have shown, with words that are not needed.
Let me make something clear; Not everything is a blatant attempt to keep the LGBT community 'down'. This is something everything needs to be open-minded about. While it can be seen as discriminative, and it is, I do not personally find it discriminative because I understand the situation. I am not offended by it because I get the point that is being presented.
Come 2.1 and nothing has changed? I will push harder. But right now? I am satisfied. Because, despite logic telling me otherwise? I am open-minded, and I have hope that people will do the right thing with out pushing to the extremes.
History has shown me this optimism is foolish, but I trust humanity a bit more. Just a tiny bit. Try to practice some of that open-mindedness. It may get you somewhere.

Re; Also, as for that XBox One example? Yeah that was actually threatening constitutional rights. A bit different there, but a... decent example.

As for your recently edited add-on, I'm sorry that one of your Company members has been doing exactly what we've noted is very -bad- for this. I have not one made a snide remark as Unity as a whole (This backpedals to what I said before about presenting things as a perception, and not as their -facts-), but I have stated the representatives presented on this thread have been operating in a disturbing manner. You, for the most part, are not. Aside from a few powerful words.
Also, do you really have anything to gain with the constant use of 'Squeenix'? As far as I can pick up on this word, it's a sort of snide remark toward some of the operation standards performed by SquareEnix since their merger. Correct me if I'm wrong, however.
