We shall get our hetero romances, and probably more options than gay/lesbian gamers besides (as is usually the case, wrong or not). The game is still 3+ months out, ffs, the hyperbole is ridiculous. Happiness for all!
We sure will get other romances. All I am asking is if I missed one already announced. Because the statement was: "gay romances were announced before others". And THAT statement was called wrong. Hence, I assumed there is some information I missed.
Okay. I just want to put this out there:
Being disappointed that a possible romance option will not have the same orientation as you is fine. That's cool, that's just, y'know, whatever.
But when you complain about it publically, don't be surprised when people get upset at you. Because it can be frustrating seeing stuff like that and the first thought is "Oh, gay people finally get something to ourselves and the straight people can't just let us be happy."
I'm really happy. 
Sorry for all the ladies that wanted to romance him as one though. Hope you find someone you like better or are ok with playing as a boy! ^o^
It'd suck so bad if he was race locked but I don't think that'll be the case.
As you wish Lucy!
Happy day indeed
At least for a lot of us ^^

I don't want to start inserting my opinion as fact, but the chances of Cullen or Cassandra also being queer are about 10000% unlikely.

No, that is correct. Regarding specific sexual orientations, Sera and Dorian, aka the 'gay romances', are the first.
Whilst it was obvious to me that Dorian was going to be a gay LI, I'm still pleased for everyone here who was hoping for this. For anyone who was hoping for a FemInquisitor romance then my condolences. If you're desperate you could just roll a MaleInquisitor for Dorian, maybe you'll enjoy the new experience.

Yep. Chances are Cullen's straight (and honestly I rather he was.) and Cassandra's at least bi. It's not that big of a deal.
yeah I can't do dwarves height complex I have.
SAME. Sociopathic, charming necro is my first playthrough now. He's gonna lead the world to it's bitter end~
I do hope Dorian can romance dwarves though. That comic was so cute :3
IRL I'm a tiny Japanese lady so maybe being a surface dwarf reminds me of being foreign here in America and little Haha. So close to home 
I look forward to doing that, just being a bitter necromancer (Probably a human or Qunari). We should link up when we get the game and share our evil experience
Dorian is confirmed as Gay! I was reading the interview and when I saw it I was floored. I had no idea we'd get any confirmation of his sexuality this soon! I'm so glad I was right about him. Now I don't have to worry about that other scenario where Blackwall is the gay option. 
I'm sorry the ladies who wanted to romance him will have to miss out or play a male, though. Though, you still have Alistair my other favorite romance of all time, so I'm not THAT sorry. 
Guess I'll have to roll a guyquisitor at some point.
I do wonder what he'd say was good about Tevinter, considering we've got yet another bit of evil to add to it.

XD Yeah I'm 5"11 so being short hits my "what is this." button. I can't do it. My brain just breaks. I can deal with elves since they're not that much shorter but dwarves just bring out the screeching tires.
Sure 
It'd be hilarious comparing evil notes
And seeing how poor Dorian probably rips his hair out XD

I'm torn on Cullen, because a lot of women didn't want their exclusive as an NPC in the old romance thread, but then he's very popular. He's always had the hugest following by far. I hope at least most straight females will be happy with their character, whoever it is.
My gut, my thoughts were right. David Gaider for Dorian and Dorian being gay himself.
I knew it, and that's why yesterday I was worried to see all those female gamers excited, expecting a lot of tears I didn't want to see. I'm glad Gaider announced it now.
I'm sorry for the ladies, so mature and friendly however. I have definitely a better opinion about the Dorian female fanbase, than the male Sera fanbase. Too bad lesbians couldn't have the same friendly reactions from guys. A shame. 
AAAAAnd of course kudo to the gay people, to all those males that wanted so badly Dorian. He's all yours now !!! The first gay companion, this handsome man that looks dashing.
With the news of Vivienne-Dorian love/hate relationship and my love for Solas I just keep my fingers crossed that the easiest difficulty level is designed for pro noobs(like me) so that my "all mages in da house" playthrough won't turn into a wipe fest

Just a small addon that between my friend dropping "KNOW MY PAIN" comments in regards to 'near perfect but playing for the wrong team' thing on me (That then rapidly spun into 'show me a whole new world' jokes from me), and the wonderfully positive responses in this thread had me laughing so hard I got tears in my eyes. Thank you, I needed that laugh. I haven't had a laugh that good in a long while.
Now I'll try to stop shaking and draw something. Probably Dorian.
Offtopic, but this gif made me smile. So thanks for that.
Any time. In way I feel sad for Dorian because he is missing all this.

Yay~ Friends.
Oh I can't wait. My necromancer Inquisitory will be the equivalent of Scumbag Steve in Dorian's eyes.
More on Topic;
Is it odd I'm looking forward to Dorian more now that I know he's exclusively Gay? All the companions have seemed awesome to me but now...Just more excitement for Dorian. He's getting close to my Varric&Vivienne scale of excitement but not right there.
It's strange because finding out he is gay makes me happy?
I'm not sure why , I think it's just cool.
Also I'm really happy for some forum members who were longing for a m/m romance , I know some people enjoyed Traynor and Steve but I thought they were like...alright.But just "minor" Npc gay romance was "meh".(it's just my opinion, don't bite me .)
I hope the friendship path is as rewarding as the one with Morrigan ,
Anyway 
Stereotypically gay guys are awesome. Being witty, self-confident, and interested in looking good (or even fabulous) are not horrible traits that need to be avoided.
Does anyone think that he's going to be a caricature? A 'flaming queen' for us to laugh at? I think he's going to be an interesting, complex character with a rocking mustache.
people seem to forget that stereotyping goes both ways, good and bad.
The way people reacted to Sera reminded me of spoiled children throwing a tantrum. Many straight male gamers sure are used to getting what they want I guess. xP And in here I'm only seeing celebration and congratulation... really shows how people gain a mature stance on things when they understand and can empathize with eachother better.
Totally appropriate:
