Dear Lord. I agree with you Jim, but your counter-arguments are just as weak as the arguments you are trying to refute. No pedophilia is not the same as homosexuality (although there are gay pedophiles), but both are sexual activities that some find deviant and therefore immoral. The morality of homosexuality is a topic that has been debated for decades in the highest (and lowest) echelons of public discourse, and your bold-faced declarations about the matter come off as naive.
Also, you used the "so?" argument twice. Since you are so fond of it, let me ask YOU - so? What do you care what some homophobes write on the internet? It doesn't affect YOUR experience.
OT: Personally I think that ALL romance options are useless, shoehorned gimmicks. All the romances in Bioware games feel tacked on just because it's something that the designers think the players want. Of course I just ignore the romances, but I feel like the creative man-hours spent on them could be better utilized somewhere else.
