Gay romances confirmed for Mass Effect 3

Rather have gay violence than gay sex :)

Thus they've been replaced with mediocre battles to be more "fair".

No. It would mean including pink lightsabers* and saying, hey, they're here if you think they're fabulous.

* Mmmmm, pink lightsabers**.

What a terrible analogy. Totally doesn't match putting gay content in a game.

Plus you're missing the entire point where it's optional. Relationships in Mass Effect were always optional. I've never romanced anyone in either of the two games. With that I'll state that I find condoning heterosexual sex in a game and condemning homosexual sex is exactly the same type of discrimination as condoning a game that has only white people, and condemning a game that has black and white people in it. Stems from the same fundamental intolerance.

Seriously guys, I think it is very brave of Bioware to include gay romance possibilities in their game. I applaud their efforts to acknowledge both gay and straight relationships in our society today and appeal to gamers alike.

Was this such a big deal when Dragon Age Origins came out? I dont remember that it was. It was quite entertaining watching Zevron hitting on my male character. But that was how far it went. And I must admit, I've tried it in The Sims as well. I dont find anything wrong with it being included in games if the normal option is possible as well.

You see, there's the root of the problem, even if you didn't mean it offensively. It's been ingrained into society so much that we barely notice it in our everyday speech. People think of gay sex as 'not normal'. Sexuality is about as normal as it gets, its just years of intolerance spawned by religion that has created this entire image of homosexuality being abnormal. It really doesn't affect any individual if another one has a different sexual preference, so I honestly don't know why anybody would consider it a threat or abnormal.
