Making an old character homosexual or not doesn't change their personality, for the part of the brain related to the sexual option of every single being has absolutely nothing to do with their character. People afraid of a possible ninjamance are completely obtuse, since the devs said that it won't be like that. The option will be there, but as it is an OPTION, you can CHOOSE wheter you will be gay IN A FREAKING VIDEO-GAME or not.
That's not the point. You're the one being narrowminded. I'd be fine if the gay content is content that I'd never see at all, but if the CHARACTER initiates the discussion or tries to come onto the player, then that is content that some people are uncomfortable with. It doesn't matter if you are comfortable with it. Some people just don't want to see a character they admire ask Shepard out on an s/s date, especially this late in the trilogy.
If Shepard initiates it though, if Shepard is the one to pursue the s/s romance and the character never speaks of his or her gay sexuality outside of conversations in which Shepard asks about it, then I would be much less hard pressed to reject s/s romance. It's content people just aren't comfortable with.
It's times like these that I wonder if anything would be different if Asari looked like males.
