I have a straight friend who just wasn't into the male personalities available in Dragon Age, so she went with Leliana instead. She liked them, she just couldn't see them as being people her character would fall for. Even though she's not into women in real life, it didn't bother her in the least in a game.
I myself am straight, but whenever I feel so inclined, I play a gay character. I find it interesting. I don't see a reason not to do so and in fact helps me feel my characters are distinct based on their idea of what is attractive to them. I hope that DA2 will continue the sort of tradition that the first game had in this regard. Bisexual characters are nice to have around, for so many reasons.
Besides, Zevran mansex got DA noticed and was featured on Jimmy Kimmel. Sure, not for the
most awesome of reasons--but there's no such thing as bad publicity, right? I bet there were a number of people who immediately either (a) giggled or (

felt immediate curiosity or © went "WOOT! Finally!!!" and made a beeline for their local game store after that aired.
C'mon, DA2. ME2 let fans down big time in this regard. Don't ditch the good thing you started. In all seriousness, we all know how good it feels to have a character of your orientation and preferred gender get close to your PC...
every DA2 player deserves that chance. I hope you're planning to uphold the standard you set the first time around. I for one will be very glad if you do.
