Stop arguing real world statistics in a science fiction atmosphere. I mean really, none of those numbers would matter anyway in the future so... Just saying. This damn game needs to be out already. People are going to start killing each other.

Math doesn't stop working just becaue it's "the future".

Also, 11 hours, 51 minutes! Woot.

Then lets be serious....what percentage of that small percent would you imagine on a battlefield?
Most of the homosexuals I know aren't really up for shooting, killing, blood, and guts.

So you want Bioware to add something that's not realistic, but so that your personal preference of an option is in the game?

You need to step outside in the real world son, smell the coffee and face reality instead of believing that sheltered refuse of information.
You probably believe all gay people are like Richard Simmons.

Not only are there gay people in the marines, homosexuals/bisexuals are no strangers to shooting, killing, blood and guts.

It seems that your math is sound, but your general extrapolation method is terrible. Since you seem to not have schooling past high school I'll explain. Take 10 people randomly off the street, the high probablility is that none of them are gay....why? Because 10% scattered over 300 million means that 99% of the time, picking 10 random people won't net you a single homosexual. 10% of 300 million means .000001% of 10 people. I hope you see how that works.

.000001%? Hyperbole much?

It depends on how you're doing the sampling. We're not hanging out on a street corner, we're counting people who become involved in the game plot. You seem to be assuming there's some real clumping in the distribution. I don't see any reason why there should be . Edit: for instance, the Alliance probably doesn't use sexual orientation as a factor in crew assignments. 

Of course, you've been assuming all along that homosexuals would be underrepresented in the sample because they'd gravitate away from violent professions. But I don't share that assumption, and you hvne't given any reason why someone should.

It's not like Bioware doesn't put same sex romances in their games. They've just decided that it isn't Shepard.

Liara.

They did decide that a lesbian romance was a possible option for a female Shepard.

I mean, since it's commonly touted that homosexuality isn't a choice then having Shepard go from a string of heterosexual relationships to a homosexual one would be contradictory wouldn't it?

Or let me guess. He was gay the whole time and he was just "suppressing" it?

You act like a male Shepard was required to bang Ashley and Liara or else he would fail to stop Saren from destroying the universe or something.  What if he didn't romance anyone in the first game?  That's a completely valid story path.

If anyone actually wants to see good statistics on gay population, here's a good website which explains why Kinsey's methods were fraudulent, while also providing much more accurate data.

Except that method is bunk too, there is no real way to find out how many gay/lesbian people there is since there is still a social stigma attached to it.  Surveys don't work if people are embarresed to awnser truthfully. That's rule number one in statistics.  People of a generaly different religous belief than the area they live in, homosexuality, drug use etc are all considered higher than what is actually shown in survey material as people are untrusting when it comes to releasing that information.

Until the stigma stops or a test is devised that tells without a doubt if someone is/or isn't gay then statistics are null and void...

The 'rules' of statistics (or math) may not change, but the actual statistics taken from a population can change based on time.

I've been with men and women, yet I consider myself a lesbian. But I know that kind of concepts are hard to understand for narrow-minded people. Sexuallty is not a fixed thing, it's "fluctuant" (the heck is the english for that term?).

Or Shepard didn't pursue a heterosexual relationship in ME1. Which is entirely possible.

Agreed.  I stopped ignoring the trolls a while back and now only reply to those who are sympathetic or can argue reasonably.

Or, people who are making fun of the Kelly 'stripper' scene!

Present! My Shepard was single throughout ME1 because well he wasn't interested in Ashley(I'm being generous there) or Liara. Romance is optional so making him canonically(is that even a word?) hetero/homosexual would in essense also be optional since sexuality plays no part on who you are in the game.

But trolling is oh so much fun. This forum would be a much happier place if there were more trolls.
