first of all im not out of topic..

the only thing i wanted to state is that BW as fail to deliver and to broke promises before so many times, that
at this rate we are closer to see this game going F2P than the SG relationship arcs they promise, and while this maybe just a guess.. no one can say im wrong too, since all We do have are guess.

What your really saying is that the game has to put it in because you want it. I want free flight space missions and I want to hunt jedi and I want to have houses etc etc etc. If you dont like that this game doesnt have same gender romances then sorry this game isnt for you, quit and go find a game that does.
I don't want it to be forced upon anyone, but I don't want to have just the straight option. There should be a choice. Simple really.
I'm not saying the game has to put it in because I want it, I'm saying it should go in in the interest of fairness to all players. Without the gay option some players are left out, with it, all players are catered to. Do you really have a problem with that?

In all honesty, I'd prefer my games without any romancing. But if they include romance, then it should represent straight and gay.
The trouble with this subject is that there are alot of people who are blatantly homophobic, and there are some people that aren't necessarily homophobic, but are a bit put off by the whole thing. Equality takes time, I understand that. Just looking at history tells us how long it can take. We live in a different kind of world now, one where the media plays a huge role in most of our lives. So again, I'm sorry to the people that don't agree, but if there's going to be straight romance in games, in films, on telly, there have to be some gay ones too, to be fair. I know it's tough for some people to take, but that's life I'm afraid. There's things out there I'm not happy about, but just because I don't like it it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
I am not disagreeing with you frankly. The problem as you stated is there are tons of folks uncomfortable with it. My only problem is that we are placing so much emphasis on what should be in the game now. Truthfully, I could care less for the romancing stuff either, but what I do care about is whether the game is enjoyable or not. I have my reservations about certain things in this game, but I am willing to give the devs the benefit of the doubt. Chances are BW realizes the seriousness of this, and there is much to be thought out before they just implement. Frankly a little patience from all of us is warranted I think.

That is you're opinion. My opinion states otherwise. Simply put the conversation you posted is not relevant. Sorry if you are offended by my opinion but we are all entitled to them. I merely said you have no proof and to stay on topic essentially. If you can't come back with an intelligent response or rebuttal then don't post at all.

More than likely, they introduce new companions rather than try to rewrite the current ones to offer up same sex options. This takes time, and when they're still trying to get the game stabilized, it's probably a low priority.

Also, EA is a cosigner on the lawsuit against the Defense of Marriage Act (along with Viacom, Zyga and Microsoft) that bans same sex marriage in the US, meaning that they're actually doing something a little more productive towards your actual civil rights than just putting it into a game. Accept the real victories, while waiting for the symbolic ones.

Yeah, cos we all know there's gays in 99% of games. You're doing nothing else but trolling and I for one will not respond to you in future.

Report him I did. Literally doesn't matter if you are gay or not but his comments are uncalled for.
