This is a rather broad rule because not everybody idea of what is and what isn't safe for work is the same, and it depends on peoples' idea of a workplace. If you have to put conditions on your own experiences (e.g., "talking about orientation was fine at work as long as it was around co-workers only and we were respectful"), that most likely means that it ISN'T safe for work. You wouldn't talk about these subjects around customers, and in some cases, not even around your boss. Being able to discuss a particular topic amongst your friends at work in quiet, hushed, and "respectful" tones does not make that topic "safe for work."
Regardless, the rules are intentionally broad. As we say frequently, stay out of the gray areas and you will be fine. There are numerous places that are not the public forums -- including private groups right here on Bungie.net as well as other websites -- that you can discuss these topics. There is no need to push the limits here, and if you want to post in the gray areas anyway, you should expect to occasionally be told that you went too far.
This(especially underlined portion). Pretty much OP BUNGiE wants keep everything as PG13 as it possibly can so as to maintain the illusion of a family friendly site for Mrated games.
Many people on here are in fact mature teenagers( no offense to those of us who are crusty old guys) but more often that not you will see one to a group of users who rain on everyone else's parade just because they couldn't keep their comments to themselves.
Rules are in place to maintain a semblance of order here on B.net and to provide delicate harmoney. I for one have no problem with others even if they believe differently or act differently than I do, but I am one person out of a giant cluster bomb of people on here and not everyone will share my elasticity of acceptance.
Just know that if you want to discuss topics which could raise flames of war from other users then just make a private group(extremely easy) and invite people from the classifields to discuss in your group/clubhouse. Just because you can't discuss a topic here doesn't mean that you can't discuss it.
