Wow!!
Did you know...
The names of the couples at the Blue Moon Inn reference famous LGBTQIA+ people??
Alan is a reference to Alan Turing, an English pioneer in theoretical computer science,
prosecuted and sentenced to chemical castration for homosexual acts under gross indecency laws.
Oscar is a reference to Oscar Wilde, an Irish poet and playwright, prosecuted and sentenced to hard labor for homosexual acts under gross indecency laws.
Sylvia is a reference to Sylvia Rivera, a Latin American gay liberation and transgender rights activist.
Marsha is a reference to Marsha P. Johnson, an African American gay liberation activist.
I'm so happy that Jagex put this much thought into this event. Now that I'm learning that the NPCs are actually inspired by real world people who have had to struggle with bigotry, I must say, I am SUPER impressed. You've really outdone yourselves. More of this!
