Are gays (not)getting the shaft again?

The problem it is that the game is still target at the bro gamers, so despite being in the future it still has that scent. And yes, unfortunately again gay gamers are getting the worse treatment.

I don't go looking for good gay romances in video games because

a. I prefer sex/romance with a real life person
b. Most of the writers of these romances aren't gay in real life, so they don't understand and are winging it
c. There is only so much "relationship" you can squeeze into 2 or 3 cutscenes.

The only thing that bothers me is if they want you to experience 3 romances across all playthroughs then only give you 1 or 2 gay male options that count.

I'd argue that we're getting the best stuff Bioware has ever written, so I couldn't agree less.

And I'm not sure why some people keep using the perpetual victim "shooter gamerz h8 teh gays" angle, but it's getting pretty tiresome already.

I don't agree. There is quite a lot of things that I don't like about ME:A, but lack of gay romance options is not one of them. For me, romance with Kaidan in ME3 was one of the best things I've ever experienced in Bioware games. In ME:A we're getting Gil, probably Jaal and fling/light romance with Reyes, which doesn't feel as second-class treatment for me, especially considering both Gil and Reyes are quite hot (at least for me). I consider this as a significantly better than any Dragon Age game, where I romanced Zevran (eh) / Anders / Dorian just because there was no one else/better, rather than being genuinely attracted to them. Kaidan is so far the only guy I would actually love to date in real life.

So, I don't think it's fair to accuse Bioware of some anti-gay agenda, since they have given us more gay romance content than any other videogame developer. The romance choices might not match our preferences, but well, that's life. The important thing is, that they exist. I might not be so optimistic in other cases, but I find the ME:A gay options very appealing for me, so there is no reason to be upset about it.

I personally prefer human romances way better than alien ones. And even with that said, I felt we gay men got the shaft on previous BW games (DA2 was the only exception in my opinion). I really like what I've seen about both Gil and Reyes so I'm actually pretty happy with what we're getting. Might change when I actually play the game but still. I'm happy to play a gay Scott this time. :3 I didn't even ever roll a gay male Inquisitor cause I didn't like any of the options there.

Kind of funny that the people who didn't like Dorian like Gil and/or Jaal and I don't like either but loved Dorian . Guess that at least keeps it fair among us M/M players, even if we are getting the short end of the stick overall.

Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for the options we've had. I just don't expect these romances to be anything more than the extra fluff they are.

We are shaftless in space Seattle.

 Which is why I said most of the writers.

Funny as Dorian was my least favorite gay romance.  Couldn't relate to him at all.  

But Kaidan is so hot.
