Guild:La Familia De Stonewall (Proudmoore US)

La Familia De Stonewall (aka LFDS or The Stonewall Family) is a gay-friendly guild on the World of Warcraft Proudmoore server & is the original founding sub-guild of the Meta-guild "The Stonewall Family". They are primarily a casual social guild family, with raiding opportunities for those who enjoy raiding on a regular basis. The entire guild structure is open to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, straight, LGBT-friendly & questioning players who are looking to play with other open-minded & diverse gamers.

La Familia De Stonewall was formed on Proudmoore in 2007.

History
This guild was originaly formed in December 2007 by a group of close friends who felt Proudmoore was lacking a primarily social LGBT guild which had opportunities to raid for those who wanted them, but also had a place for those who did not raid. The goal of founding the guild was to provide a harassment free family for LGBT players and their friends, without pressure to raid.

Weekly raid schedule
Raid times and instances are coordinated weekly by their respective raid leaders. The guild is primarily socially focused, as a result - raid team formation is independent of the leadership of the guild.

Guild rules
The Stonewall Family's rules and code of conduct are explained in their charter, located on their website.
