Lately it seems every movies, tv series or indeed game needs to have a 1 : 1 ratio of straight : gay, while it is no where close to that in practice. Mass Effect 3 took the cake, I couldn't talk to a male crew-member without entering into a semi-romantic gay conversion with them. Heck even the comm officer turned out to be lesbian.
oh poor you, you had 1 line to declare your intentions on weather you liked them or not, and if you clicked no that was it.

It's pretty sad because almost everyone has a homosexual friend or family member and they aren't even treated as equals in a virtual world.
It isnt that people are homophobic or anything like that.

Its why is it so important to gays(if thats the proper term) that they insist it be in the game. Does every companion have to be gay accessable? Maybe they dont go that way so why are you insisting that they must?

Also all the flirting in this game is minimal anyways. Yes straight people get to marry their companion but everything but a kiss is black screened and after you get married you get a gift and thats it. Thats all.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

Mods must be on vacation. I said in another post that someone who fluffs is a Fluff _ _. and I get infraction points for it. Even though there is more than 1 meaning for the word.

Im not American

My Country actually allows SSM and I STILL DONT SEE what that has to do with Star Wars?

Please show my on the Star Wars OFFICIAL MAP where USA resides, Where UK resides, where Canada resides.

WTH does your country, my country, their country have to do with STAR WARS??????

Quit pushing real world political issues on this game

And no I dont want open storylines about abortion or Death sentances, or Divorse either.

Leave 2012 Earth in 2012, this is a sci fi FANTASY MMORPG that takes place a long long time ago in a far far far away galaxy.

2012 Earth politics plays no role what so ever and shouldnt be pushed on the subscribers because a vocal minority cant leave their sexuality and politics at the door and just enjoy a different place.

I mean what part of Hutts and Rodians and Jedi and Sith confuses you that you think this is 2012 Earth, USA, UK, Canada, Russia, what ever?

I'm sorry you feel this way. Let me try to help you see this from a gay mans point of view. Currently there are romance arcs in the storyline to this game. Thats great for anyone interested. Adds to the game, etc. the trouble is that 100% of these romances are heterosexual. As we all know, that percentage doesn't represent all players, so adding same sex romance options is the fair, right thing to do.
Now, it's going to annoy some people, and outrage others, but put yourself in the shoes of a gay person and think how much heterosexual media is out there compared to homosexual. It's only over the last couple of decades that we've seen gay storylines on mainstream telly, there are very very few mainstream films and games that are based, or have in them, gay storylines.
For too long homosexuality has been ignored, and it's about time the media put some decent representation in games, films, telly, etc.
So sorry if you have no interest in it, sorry if you think it's a waste of time, but in all honesty, and I'm not saying this to be rude, but tough. Learn to live with it.
