Pacifien usually closes such topics. For a reason.
Yeah, and that reason would be to funnel overt gayness into the segregated free-speech zone just to placate the homophobes in this place.
To the OP, try and rethink this. Your statements come across as being homophobic trolling by way of "compassionate" disclaimers. You're feeling victimhood over nothing. So, Anders couldn't be forced to play by straight culture's edicts on what does or doesn't constitute "stepping over the line" within our worthless hierarchy of overvalued heterosexual dominance. He's not really the problem then, is he? Not the angle you were aiming for, but since you touched upon it anyway I have to point that out.
You can play DA2 and make yourself happy with whichever companion(s) you actually like.
Think of it this way; Anders spends more time than any of the others contemplating inequality, haves/have-nots, oppression, whitewashing, and liberation. He's bound to take it hardest when he puts himself out there for a man who does not love him back. I think you like the guy and you want to save him from hurt, or at least discomfort here. But he wouldn't be Anders if he were so able to bounce back. Anders never ever dreams small.
Having all-bisexual(or pansexual?) squadmates LIs is the best method. The only people it would hurt are the ones who scream and whine about having to face "hordes" of queer npcs. They would have no more comforts of imaginary boundary-lines for sexuality to keep themselves ensconed in their positions of undue advantage. It's a thing which they feel they're entitled to have reflected even in their very important GAMES. Their entitlements come at significant cost to the people who don't play by their asinine rules.
I don't trust BioWare to handle segregated LI sexualities. When "some people are straight" gets applied, that ends up meaning 99% get straightness pasted onto them and less than a handful just get to be bisexual in ways that "offend homophobic people as little as possible." The beauty of forcing everyone to share the same LIs, rather than segregating them, is that it becomes less likely to find cop-outs among them.
ME3 would do well to at least copy DA2's progress. Kaidan and Ashley
can like the same-sex. Those of us who are queer felt as much, and they were even written/performed as such regardless of content that was left out. People assume too much when they claim that those characters
must be str8, their "purity" inviolate-
-What a
betrayal it would be
!
-Players must have a right to
know where the obvious queers are!
-They should
announce themselves to keep players safe!
-Their kind needs to explain themselves to gamers, and then live or die by straight gamers' judgements before they can be allowed in as friends who are kept to arms-length at best!
