I cant believe that this is an issue.
seriously, if anybody here is actually a mature person, they should be asking why there is sex in the first place.
sex has no place outside pornography, or my very, very sexy bedroom, i hate hollywood, and tv, and these video games that feel the need to put sex in EVERYTHING to get an a free thumbs up with goons who use their peckers as a regular consultant of daily function. ive never seen a good "it was vital to the plot" argument either, you can IMPLY sex, if its THAT vital, but actually having it in there is just a stupid get out of jail free card for bad writers. (how akward would lord of the rings have been if instead of implying it, they just plain showed frodo and sam slappin meat?) which brings me to my next point:

They NEVER said gays don't exist in the Star Wars Universe. They said the labels for gay people don't exist.
During a press conference for Star Trek: TNG Someone once asked "Surely by the 24th Century they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness" Gene Roddenberry replied, "No, by the 24th Century no one will care"
although on the other hand if space is our Manifest destiny Gays have no place there. We need settlers and squatters to build lands, have kids and generally settle a place down. Even if a gay couple wanted to have kids I don't they will have room for an invitro clinic when settling a wild planet
Because gays cannot contribute anything to society if they can't have kids. =_= Gee thanks.
I don't care that BioWare isn't including orientation labels in their games. I get frustrated at labels too. What concerns me is that while this is OK, if they also intentionally do not include any male-male romances, then they have basically affirmed that such relationships are either unimportant, inferior, or even worse: offensive (and I believe they only included a lesbian relationship because their target audience find that titillating)
im only quoting that much, because im sure you were annoyed enough by the original post.
great job being the first butthurt guy to post on this thread, thats always an achievement.
for the love of whatever you love, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THINGS THAT JUST ARE. i dont complain that rain is wet, you shouldnt complain that the colon doesnt make babies.
dont blame anybody that you cant help a fictional space station populate
which brings me to the last quote:
