I agree.
But giving us all the choice would be a step in the right direction.
We have some many options for character creation, why not add this one?
I don't see the problem because choice for my play through wouldn't effect anyone here or in the world, because its a video game.
eww no. we are much too fabulous for wool.
Cashmere?
LOL @ the ridiculous %
Sure tho, if that helps you sleep at nights.
In the U.S. there are only around 9 or 10 million gay people (both male and female) in a country with roughly 330 million total (~4% of the population). Same goes for Australia (~4%), and slightly less so in the U.K. (3.1%), as of 2014.
Granted, he's entirely backwards and wrong in everything else he's said, but if these countries are any indication, his numbers may not be too far off. Using the same 4% metric, that would average out to roughly 280 million people who identify as gay. Of course, that isn't backed up by statistics, just quick math.
I'm thinking I picked my new avatar well. Nicely sums up my reaction to most of this thread.
You did, but trust me: It's not just your reaction that it's summing up. 
It's not homophobic to want gay people to go away. How is that homophobic?
I admire your dedication to being the embodiment of Poe's Law!

Umm... That's incredibly homophobic.
Do you know what homophobia entails?

Who came up with the no gay toggle switch or no gay switch in the first place???
It would be an individual choice. All three could be chosen for each play through by every gamer. No one is excluded what so ever.

This... makes no sense.
Do we smell? Do we bite? Do we petrify people with our eyes for sexual pleasure?
Umm... That's incredibly homophobic.

I'd stake my reputation on the fact that he's satirizing a certain trio. Of course, I don't have a reputation, and thus, nothing to lose. But the through-line is there, if one is willing to wade back through 17 pages to find it.
I agree.

because this has nothing to do with creating YOUR CHARACTER. The character creation screen is for you avatar into the world of Thedas. You are not the Maker or the Creators of elven lore or whatever other deity or natural phenomenon in the world got the whole bang started.
Can't stop laughing now.
Good god.

"I don't hate black people, I just want black people to stay out of my sight. I'm not racist though."
Mhm.

Okay you've won me over. I really thought you were serious at first, but now I'm enjoying the parody.

The only issue with this is that it's using self-identification numbers for a stigmatized and oppressed group. I think it's safe to say that those numbers represent the % of people who are openly gay and willing to admit it in an 'anonymous' survey to a stranger. It's the low end of the spectrum. It's the lowest possible estimate for gay %, not accounting for people in the closet, people who just don't identify as gay even though they engage in regular same sex relations, or people who just didn't feel comfortable revealing that information.

Obligatory:
Lord Surinen is very definitely sincere in his feelings on homosexuality...
The others I'm not so sure about. Some of this sounds more and more like trolling as it goes along.

Announcer: Are you tired and sick of pesky sexual orientation getting in the way of your gaming session?
Gamer: Yeah! I just want to date all the chicks man!
Announcer: Then why not alter the laws of nature to your malicious ends!
Gamer: Awesome!
Announcer: Because who needs pesky free will! It's all about you and your needs!
Gamer: Damn straight!
Announcer: Then here is the next Dragon Age game, "The Insensitive Creepy Abusive Campaign of A Greedy Lover!"
Gamer: That sounds like my kind of game!

Yep, gone he's round and round so much he doesn't even know what he's arguing for anymore.

I did admit it wasn't backed up by statistics, just quick math.
It also wasn't an entirely fair estimate of people from the sources I pulled the numbers from. All but the Australian survey only polled people in the 18-35 range. Australia went farther with people between 18-69.
I think they might have been making a joke in Australia by going to 69.
