 Ok, lemme throw this out, this is what I noticed on my first try of NM solo.

First off, Duncan wears simple earing in his right ear.

Also, way he talks is very calm and rational, he does not show any stronger
emotions in his voice, like anger, even in the moments you would expect to.
Also, he is surprisingly polite, even after being insulted by city elf scum.
He never ever mentioned woman in his speeches. In any way.
He has not gave a single compliment to the female, not even simplest one,
but he could almost sing about mans fight skills. 
And since Dragon Age contains homosexuality, do you think Duncan can be part of it?

[Roland Aseph]

It's my opinion that he is not.



He is simply a good, well mannered man/soldier...with a heavy burden and Mission. The time for idle pleasantries is long past. Now it is time to fight, fight a battle that is becoming more dire with every passing hour.



He is the consummate warrior.



Ability, honor, grace and respect all shield him as well as any armor or shield.



One can have all these traits (and more) and not be a homosexual

No. Your argument becomes invalid right after that sentence.

[Elhanan]

Is Duncan gay? Not really. While I recall him chuckling a little, the coming Blight seemed to make him a bit more serious and taciturn. Look at how he scolds Alistair for speaking to the mage....

Oh yeah he does wear it.

In various Western cultures, piercing the left vs. the right ear alone has sometimes been popularly perceived to be associated with a particular sexual orientation. In the late 60s it was said that "left is right, and right is wrong,"[2] alluding to social prejudices surrounding sexual orientation. The left ear was reserved for piercing by straight men and a pierced right ear meant that one was gay

The question is Mute; dead with no earing, or head for that matter....

[Cuddlezarro]

he screws a female male like 2-3 chapters into the calling and doesnt exactly come off as gay to me



Anders uses the same hair/earring and he certainly doesnt come off as gay to me either

[Renul]

Are you serious? "Oh, he has an earring in his right ear. And because of the MODERN stereotype of gays have right earrings, he's obviously gay." Dumb***. As for your following paragraph, all that means is that he is serious, focused, and like you said, calm and rational (which has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Straight guys can't be rational in in control of emotions?) Prejudice much?

[Jestina]

He's the ideal Warden...which means he doesn't bed anyone.

[TBastian]

You'll need to be psychic to determine a person's sexual orientation with just that info. There are gay people who act/dress more manly than Duncan, and their are straight guys who are so effeminate they may as well be gay. Except they don't like other guys.

As it is, anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's.

"He has not gave a single compliment to the female, not even simplest one,

but he could almost sing about mans fight skills."



He sings many praises of the PC regardless of their sex.

[Last Darkness]

read the novels or the wikipedia synopsis.

[Kristofer Wolf]

I didn't get that impression of him at all.

[Tonguy]

Never have I gotten that impression of him in any of my playthroughs. Plus, reading The Calling answers that question right there.

I know for a fact he's not gay as I'm a straight man and I act a lot like him. I'm quiet, focused, serious, and maybe a little too concerned with my duties.

Anybody got a problem with that?     >
Didn't think so ... >.>

Just to make this is clear to everyone: Duncan isn't real...He (it?) happens to be a cartoon (1's and 0s really) that appears in a world that also isn't real. The sun, those darkspawn, all the (white) people-Not real.
Of course this begs to ask where are all the brown/black folk...but don't let me get sidetracked...

It hurts me to say this (type this) out loud and I know this may be upsetting to some but Alistair isn't real either.  

So there you have it: No gay toons, no straight toons, no Bi toons...No,sorry-wishing/fearing they are/aren't doesn't count...
So the next time you think/fear Duncan is giving you those "gooey eyes"-That really is the real reason for your post right?

Just close you eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, there's no place like home....

Works for me...

 Nice idiocy. Yes refer to modern cultures in a game that refers to medieval times. Because he wears a earring on his right ear he is gay. Yes if you are calm and serious and have manners and you aren't an ass you are gay. 

I see your ability to be prejudice is finely tuned. I shall take my leave.

And now I feel a bit silly for my last post cause I have to agree with this one, somewhat.

[electricfish]

From the quasi-medieval perspective, no. Knights of the medieval ages were supposed to be chivalrous and noble and just like Duncan because that was their expected behavior in front of other people. :|

He *does* express some irritation in his voice depending on the dialogue choices you make. Mage Origin for instance, speaking to him in the library.

Not to mention that a dude being calm and collected in the modern era doesn't equal homosexuality.

[darrenr22]

The original post in this thread is poorly thought out, in my view. Nothing the OP writes provides any evidence whatsoever.



Plus there is the fact that we know from Dragon Age canon of only one sexual encounter involving Duncan and that was with a female.



I do not think there is anything more that needs to be said on the matter.

[RobotXYZ]

Duncan might be gay. But we don't know that from the 'evidence' the OP presented which were based on (his/her) stereotypes.

[Alexander1136]

no he bones a mage chick in the calling

[Xandurpein]

Does this even matter in any way?

[Arrtis]

no

[Kalcalan]

That would explain a lot actually...

[Arrtis]

Duncan is as gay as a falcon in a cage waiting for the cat to eat it's spam.
