I played Dragon Age 2 and became deeply digusted on how homosexuals were labeled in this game, I have plenty of gay friends and none of them have ever attempted to make moves on me, the gay stereotyping in this game is like making every hispanic person in a game to be evil and violent, it's wrong and I believe that David Gaider needs to be fired for this.

I kind of wonder if this is someone's attempt to stir up more hate against BioWare by claiming to represent a group they're not even part of? In addition to being misleading, I mean.
Of the characters you can romance in the game, Merrill and Fenris will not make any kind of romantic overtures unless you flirt with them first. Period. Anders, meanwhile, does indeed come onto you in his first quest-- if you are nice to him. If you turn him down then, you get some rivalry points (which are not a punishment-- rivalry is a path towards a relationship just as friendship is) and that's the end of it.
If someone wants to paint that as sexual predation or an example of "all gays" when it's not even an example of all the potentially gay relationships in the game -- that's pretty laughable. But there's no shortage of ignorance, and evidently no shortage of people with an axe to grind. Which is too bad.
If someone wishes to take out their anger on me personally, I suppose that's fine. I'm an easy target, speaking as I do on these forums. I'm quite glad I get the opportunity to include more gamers in our content, and I couldn't do so without the explicit support of my superiors -- but that won't stop some people from being very unhappy in general.
So shine on, you crazy diamonds. But spreading hate on these forums is unwelcome-- not just against me, but in general. I'm sure there are other places on the internet where such ignorance is welcomed.
