Christian group says to beware of Army of Two's "homosexual encounters"

EA obviously wasn't thinking of the children when they made Army of Two's ambiguously gay duo.

The Timothy Plan, a Florida investment firm that calls itself "conservative Christian", is warning parents everywhere of the top 30 "most offensive" games that parents should steer clear of this holiday shopping season.
See the complete list here. It's worth noting that the very first thing you see when viewing the list is a picture of an insane child playing what I assume to be an extremely violent game with homosexual undertones. Parents, do you want your child to end up like that? No. That's why you need to stay away from Army of Two.

Of course GTA IV, Fallout 3 and Saints Row 2 made the list for violence, sex and drugs, but games like Mass Effect, Fable II and Bully also made the list and have a "gay and lesbian" rating attached to them. Here's an example from the Fable II description: "GAY & LESBIAN: Homosexual Encounters: Players can have a gay/lesbian marriage and have gay/lesbian sex.". They exaggerate things a bit there, but what did you expect?

The group also has a Hall of Shame which includes publishers like EA, Take-Two and Microsoft.

I like that they mention Bully for the 360 having an achievement called "over the rainbow" which is attained after kissing 20 boys.

Get over it. The kids are going to play them no matter what. It's all a a matter of time. Plus, the only reason why kids are "acting out" is because they choose to. It's just a state of mind.
