I'm glad to finally get the option; I played my main Shepard through MEs 1 and 2 as queer as I could, given the options, eking every bit of gay subtext possible out of his interactions with Kaiden and telling myself that it sucked that DADT in the Alliance navy held me back from coming right out...

Um.. I think that's got to be thrown back. Anything that *happens* "in nature" without some kind of premeditated intervention is *necessarily* "natural." We don't own nature, we don't get to tell it what it "can and can't do," nature just IS. Recently astronomers witnessed an apparent...
