    To anyone actually bothered by the inclusion of this; welcome to the ever shrinking minority of the population you belong to.

    How this culture can accept entertainment based on conflict and bloodshed but have issues with representation of sexuality, especially using the "my kids" complaint, is beyond me. People are LBGT, your children will encounter them. Let them learn they are members of society and to coexist.

    I would go to that parade.  I do agree with you though on this.  There are a lot of agenda driven issues that start or play under the role of basic freedom and rights.

    The game is a futuristic setting where people can engage in relationships with other SPECIES but now players may be offended by gender pairing? This is silly!

    It's funny how I knew exactly what the tone of the post was going to be when I read ‘extra gay’.

    Anyway, none of the above. They're just romance arcs, like those already in the game, but same-sex instead of opposite-sex. I don't think it's any more ‘necessary’ than the opposite-sex stories and it's not something I specifically wanted, but your other options are raw bullshit.

    Even if you're just homophobic, which for men is a phenomenon that curiously often stops at men, maybe it'll help you to understand that about half of the audience for male-male romances is an audience of straight females. On the other hand, judging by the use of ‘perverted’ and ‘just wrong’, you're probably superstitious beyond reach. Too bad; so sad.

    Not sure how I got sucked into this one.  As a heterosexual I wish more men were gay  increases my ratio.

    Also I can see the focus is men on men in this thread. . no complaints about girl on girl. . didn't think so.

    Shrinking minority population???? By that do you mean normal people? Yeah that makes total sense. So in essence you are saying that homo's outnumber normal people? By those stats technically the human population will be non-existent in the future since homo's cannot reproduce, ROFLMAO.....

    Spot on. That is exactly what I was saying.

    Yeah I just get annoyed at these bigots, they're the same sort of people that a generation or two ago would call me "not natural" for being mixed race.

    That is how you know the OP is a little biased.  He used gay. . they said same gender. . so your prayers are answered :)
