Fact - Dragon Age has 'gay' and sold remarkably well. Gay sells. Games sell. Options and choice sells.
Fact - Yes they do.
Fact - Homosexuality is not a disease, there is nothing to cure, and you are a homophobic bigot and have been reported.
Possibility - if in the far future female humans are having sex with hot alien chicks then I'd say it's progressed sufficiently.
Because you are a homophobe you need reporting.
Reported?! LOL. Am I supposed to be worried? Or upset because I was called a *gasp* homophobe for not wanting gaymances in Mass Effect?
Fact -Gay did not make Dragon Age sell remarkably well. What made it sell well was the fact that it was a good RPG. It would have sold just as well without it.
Fact - No they don't.
Fact - Genetic disorder, or however you want to phrase it. It is something that extensive genetic modification will have most likely removed. So your going to have very few homosexuals.
Possibility - Just because mankind is banging hot blue aliens doesn't mean the Systems Alliance does a "gay pride" parade every year.
It appears you support eugenics, the genetic modification of humanity to remove 'undesirable' traits, is that fair to say? You should know before you answer that this topic is closely related to **** Germany and topics like ethnic cleansing. Undesirable traits are quite subjective, let us not forget. Not every variation from the standard template is a disease or a disorder, merely a variation.
And by virtue of your first fact, you argue that inclusion of homosexual content in ME2 DLC or ME3 shouldn't have an impact on sales. In that case, why not let those who want it, have it? Why is it so important for you that your Shepard not even have the possibility of establishing a homosexual romantic connection? Are you concerned that your Shepard will make choices against your will?
Gay can be considered a genetic disorder based on the fact that what they do is not compatible by nature. What gay men do to satisfy each other is not what the human body was designed for. Doesn't make it wrong or evil...just not what those parts of the body were designed for.
Gay is counter-productive when it comes to reproduction, and therefore could be considered a disorder.
What's subjective, is whether or not the gay "disorder" is harmful enough to warrant action, or if it's simply one of the those side-effects of evolution being random.
I personally don't think it's the sort of disorder that requires action. Not unless like...50% of the population goes gay, which is very, very unlikely.
Bottom line, it's a genetic disorder, but not necessarily a problematic one.
I think everyone's getting a little over the top with what's homophobic and what's liberal. Just cool off...it's just a flippin video game.
