Mass Effect 3 will include same-sex male relationships

All I care about is: Does the fact that they're not introducing new love interests mean that I will have an option to save Thane? I was hoping they'd give a side mission for it or maybe make me choose between curing the genophage and curing Thane.

Also, apologies for the earlier post (The "gayfriendly") one. I'm just reading over it for the first time, and I'm honestly not sure why I posted it in the first place. This is why sober me needs to lock drunk me off of the computer. It was a pretty irrelevant post. I'd delete it if I could.

Because, in today's society, it's still considered taboo. Fifty years ago, so was interracial marriage.

@Hank34 "All you gay friendly people?" Is that the technical term? If so, do you mind if I just adopt terms like "ignorant, gaybashing, homophobic biblethumpers?" You act as if it's "unusual" for someone to be "gay-friendly," and as if that's some miniscule minority. And, for the record, that's just as sickening to "all of us gay friendly people" as homosexuality is to you.

@Hank34 For once I agree with you.

Whatever, I still hate everyone!

wow. this is so forced that its not even funny. let me start off by saying that i don't care what sexuality folks are. it means nothing to me. at all. BUT seeing it shoehorned into my favorite sci-fi trilogy really annoys the crap out of me. if it was included in the first 2 games then it wouldn't matter at all. but now all of a sudden in the last game shepard has the option to come out of the closet? from nowhere? what if you already had romances with the other female characters? even if you haven't, then what? are they going to make a new crew and ditch everyone's favorite characters to make room for some gay dudes and girls? wtf? so all of a sudden grunt comes out the closet or garrus? or maybe jacob? or what about thane? i understand it will be an option which is cool because i won't choose it but it will be SOOOOOOOOOO DUMB if after a huge reaper boss fight or something wrex or garrus pull shepard to the side and says, "look shepard. all these missions we've been on together and lives we saved i've been hiding something.... "well gee garrus, what have you been hiding?" " i love you shepard. I....need you." then an option comes up that says: "invite garrus to private quarters" "lets talk in a more....intimate location garrus" then a 10 sec video of two character models clipping through eachother just to cater to the gay community? to add another customization option? what? games are art man. and noone should ever have to force something into their vision to cater to ANYBODY. obviously this wasn't on there minds if it wasn't included in the first 2 GAMES. and this is going to make things feel inconsistent. and its not even an important part or game breaker but damn i just hope they handle it right. these characters kick ass and if they just change this aspect of them for no good reason its really going to take away from the story and characterization of the game which are, in my opinion, mass effects strongest points.

Seculerism is a part of the humanist religion.

@Vitreosity I am 110% against homo"sexuality" it is a sin, I am NOT kidding. It goes against what God has said and it IS a sin. Leviticus (18:22) Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Peter (2:6) And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; Jude (1:7) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 2nd Thessalonian (2:11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: And this garbage DOES NOT belong in video games, We already have enough garbage in video games. Mass Effect 2 was pure smut because of it's inclusion of such evil things.

Who the hell cares? You want to add something new to me3 then fix the super dumbed down leveling system, awful plot, stupid planet scaning, and the retarded squad ai. Then I might care, alittle.

@Hank34 I think there are a few key points being missed here... Including an option that is in no way mandatory is not "shoving it" to you, or at least it wasn't last time I checked. I think you shouldn't be worried, BioWare is not trying to make ME3 a gay factory, it's just an OPTION for those who wish to pursue that path. @anonymous321 I won't even bother, but please, keep the comments secular and your religious views to yourself.

They want everyone's money. Smart move marketing wise. But I think now I have to turn my male shepard into a female shepard... Nah.

@Anonymous321 Consider yourself added to my fucking hypocrits statement

@BellaKazza @Hank34 So you were ok with playing the games if you could be a lesbian but Now you can be Gay in mass effect 3 your disgusted by it? You Fucking Hypocrits

Yay! One step closer to freeieng the world from the tyranny of religion

I love that most of these responses are in support, but I like watching the other side scramble. Poor dears, on the wrong side of history. Years from now, when schools teach homosexuality as an immutable characteristic (as most sane people already realize it is, and as it's defined by the American Psychological Association among other expert agencies), society will look back on you with embarassment just as we do now with racists and misogynists.

SOooo.. when are we going to c a love scene between grunt and shepard?

@Hank34 Are you serious? Blatantly hitting on you? The only character to blatantly hit on you is Anders and that's because he IS gay. He's the only blatantly gay character in the game. What did you do? You turned him down probably. Fenrir is available as a gay option too but that really isn't obvious unless you actively pursue it. You're not interested in a gay romance in your game so you closed that path off. I'm gay. I would like my character to be gay as well. When the girl characters hit on me I just turn them down. That's all you have to do. It's an RPG, if you don't want your character to be a certain way then he/she/it doesn't have to be. I really fail to understand what gets so many of you in such a huff. Are you afraid that your character will wander over to the "dark side" of homosexuality without your consent or something? Nowhere near as many of you seemed to give a damn when lesbian romances were allowed. I don't know if you realise this but there are gay guys that play games and we would enjoy it if we were able to make a character that resembled us as much as you can make one that resembles you.

Oh Jaaa~aaack... who doesn't want to be in the girls' club now.... My sad and lonely renegade Fshep will be sad and lonely now more.
