Why does it always come down to the sex? (And what's inherently wrong with being bisexual?)
It doesn't, always: it's just that some players find it more important than others do, that's all. As to your second question:
absolutely nothing at all, thank the Maker!
Slightly tangentially from that: why is it that people over in the romance threads don't seem to get it that some people are gay, pure and simple, not bi? All the discussion over there is in terms of which characters are straight, and which bi. I would have so appreciated it, for example, if in Origins Alistair had been gay. You'd utterly fail to romance him if you're playing a female character. That's the way the real world is - why should Thedas be any different?
In case anyone's wondering: no, this isn't special pleading. I'm bi; I just don't like presumption and unfairness.
As for "Oh, Isabela / Bethany / Carver / whoever is so
ugly, I'm just not going to have someone who looks like that in
my party!", which I see in various places: wouldn't it just be so much better for these poor sensitive souls if as a standard feature you could push party members (heck, any character) through the visual bits of the Character Generator so that if they wanted to they could make everyone look like they just fell off a catwalk in Milan?
FFS, Isabela is a
pirate, not a fashion model. And this is happening in the (Fantasy, OK) Late Mediaeval period - people don't have orthodontists and beauty therapists and collagen implants and Botox, they have serious diseases (smallpox, anyone?) and famines and Blights and are just grateful to be alive, let alone
pretty...
