I would like to see the writers writing gay, straight, and bisexual characters and dialogue that celebrates the differences and similarities in each.

What are some of the differences?

Is that an honest inquiry, or are you just trying to trap you a bigot? Because I'd hate to disappoint you.

The inquiry is honest in the sense I genuinely do not know what you mean.  I do not feel as though there are differences to be celebrated that I could appreciate.  I'm just happy when someone I like likes me back.  That's the core principle of the all-bi approach, is it not? 

The only tangible difference in the other approach is the only reason why a character wouldn't like the protagonist is the gender they chose in creation.

A flavor change is basically the difference between "You love mages. I will romance you" compared with "You hate mages. I will romance you." Both sides show differences but you still are able to do what you want to do which is to romance that character. There is no real choice here because it doesn't matter what you choose, you can still do what you want. There is no consequence for the same reason.

But that distinction seems completely arbitrary to me.  The consequence is the romance plays out differently.  To you, that's not a real consequence.  To me it very much is.  When a consequence is lost content as opposed to changed content, I feel like an opportunity has been lost.  This is basically the reason I can't stand how Renegade options are treated in Mass Effect.

We may be forced to agree to disagree on this point.

 I am both capricious and random, and have decided to lock this thread. Well, actually, it's because there's already discussion here.

Locking.
