I wouldn't care really, hell some of my best friends are gay.
isnt that what a person in the public eye says if they are photographed next to a sign that says "kill all gays"?
Yeh sure mate, or you now I actually do mean what i said and i am not trying to hide my pure hatred towards all homosexuals.
hey no worries man, just trying to make a joke, ive spent too long on sickipedia, i leap on any attempt to make a joke, even an obviously bad one...

Now I have no problem with gay people, but I would not be able to play a game with a main gay protagonist. I just wouldn't feel like the character I want to be. Now, with a choice system letting you choose between the two is fine.

Apparently in England a survey said 1 in 3 people are gay
Where on earth did you read/hear this?
Utterly incorrect.
That would put the population on the brink of extinction! xD

In Ireland it's apparantly 1 in 25 or something....
Which is four out of the average secondary school year, which seems about right.
We learned it's approximately 1 in 10 or thereabouts, which is 3 gay people per classroom. Thinking back on secondary, that seems unlikely.

No I would not want a strictly gay character game. Not because Im Homophobic, but because I dont wanna hear all the idiots damning it on forums, and me getting pissed off at their stupidity

Not that unlikely.
I can think of about 3 or 4 people in my class that I could suspect to be gay and wouldn't be surprised at all if they were.
Your figure seems closer than mine now that I think about it. :)

If there was no sex scene, yeah, but then again I think visible sex scenes in games are all off putting. Even Mass Effects. I don't HATE them, but seriously, I don't want to see a computer generated side boob.

Either way, romance never seems to be the MAIN CENTRAL SUPER IMPORTANT PLOT to a game. Could be close, like saving the person the character loves in a game from someone, but the romance itself isn't the goal. 'Cause of that, I'm ok with it. And if anyone asks "what if the central point of a game WAS to romance someone", my answer is "I wouldn't play it even if the main character was straight. Those games aren't my thing.

I think that a gay main character would, indeed, be nice. I mean, we were close with Persona 4 and Kanji Tatsumi (And yes, I realize how much this has been milked, but it's a good example).

It doesn't matter to me, however. I think that most games are going to keep going with Heterosexual relationships.

But, if we could have a main stream game with gay characters, it would, indeed, be very nice.

Oh, and to clarify, I am a gay male, thank you very much, have a nice day.

I don't really like any romance in games. Especially when there's something more important going on, like the whole world might be destroyed. If I'm trying to save the world, I don't give a shit about getting my end away. I just wanna kill all the bad guys.

It doesn't matter but I probably wouldn't play if he was so stereotypical that he had a lisp and used words like "fabulous" no matter how good the game is.

Juhani ? Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic... and that's about it unless you count Mario's Birdo or Zelda's Tingle

Well, in RPGs in general, isn't there a trend towards player customisation of the central character? So shouldn't the decision really be left up to players? Can't they choose in the course of the game to flirt with people of the same sex or the opposite sex?
Makes Allot of sense, cant you make your sim character gay if you want? Correct me if im wrong.
