After reading this thread, I've got that song stuck in my head.
"Take Me To Church".
At least it's a good song. Could be worse. There was a time when I got "Baby, Baby, Baby, oh. Baby, baby, baby oh!" stuck in my head. Damn you Justin!
Props to the opening post for making it to 100 replies and 5 pages. Every cloud has a silver lining.
While I feel like there's a better-than-95 percent chance this is a troll thread, of the off chance is srs ...
I would of liked to romance any female character and there are threads here of female stragiht gamers who would of liked to romance any male character.
Straight female gamer here. I romanced Leliana in Origins on a female character, because my characters aren't all reflections of me and my preferences. The casual sex thing isn't my personal bag either, but I play some characters who roll that way.
While I don't plan romances ahead of time (well ... aside from Solas', I really wanna see that) and may do several "stag," it would not surprise me if one of my ladies ended up with Sera at some point. I guess I just don't get having to self-insert that much, or being that insecure about my sexuality.
EDIT: Too many negatives 
OP: A game having more options ( again, options are... optional) - is the only way to please more people. Your proposal may not be exhaustive or may not work exactly as is given in that first example, but the ideea of solving most things we prefer differently, through options, is good. It's nothing bad. Just as the devs already stated or explained (sorry can't quote or link right now, but there was a Gaider post when DAI was in development, where he talked about solving everything with "options" or adding check-boxes and so on), it's not possible -- would mean more content, more time needed to implement, test, and the more options are there, even more work for the next option (these have to work with each other, in any combination). They are limited by resources: time and money for example; so many features have to be dropped (some are added later or never).
As to "sexuality" and "agenda": this is an evil world we live in, as you can see in these posts. No matter what you "prefer", someone will always hate you for that: if you are "open": that's why, if you stick with one way and "stand firm": all the same. You want to "solve" this? You will be hated. With passion. You dare to take away "conflict" and leave us with a bland, unrealistic world, with no hate and no reason to bite each other all day? You want to make peace? How you dare?
I hope you got it. Be nice and pursue peace, but don't expect to be loved by everyone, no matter what. Still, stay open minded, "solution" is always a process: there is always place to improve something, tweaking, updating, completing with more, replacing with better pieces... it's a struggle. It's just... life.
I'd normally agree the OP is trolling but this sadly isn't the first time I've seen someone propose that DA has a "turn off the gays" option.
Even if he isn't trolling it seems like nothing anyone is going to say will make the OP see what's wrong with his 'solution '.
Wine, dear? I know it's only 5pm, but I think it's late enough.
It's never too early for a glass of wine.
and now I want wine
Okay, I'll go ahead and say it: You're trolling (or crazy.) Don't stop on my account, though, I find it hilarious. Can't really blame people for questioning your motives when you're claiming that you have a solution that removes all gay characters from the game.
to remove all gay character from the game isn't a solution but the answer will be....
Lord Woolsley....
replace all companion by goats and call them Lord Woolsley 1 .. Lord Woolsley 2 .. and so on.
and about the sexual orientation of the goats....does that matter ?? 
this solution service was brought to you from the Lord Woolsley establishment and the organisation of the free goats.
please vote Lord Woolsley for president.

Well it worked. They were really turned off by this thread. 
Sorry. Bad pun.

If it's any consolation it's 10.15 pm where I am.
Wow, this is so politically correct for just a video game which is not reality.
I just wanted to romance the ladies as a straight character and there are threads and posts of the straight ladies who wanted to romance the male characters.
That's all it was for me and my three options were meant innocently.
Not in this thread I see.......... 
I couldn't care less what peoples sexual preferences are......this is a video game and not reality. You should be able to do things you couldn't do in real life in a video game.
Why make a video game the same as real life? A video game is an escape from reality just like movies.

Almost 4:30 for me, half an hour won't stop me.

And you can if the said ladies are into men

Here is a solution. Mods. Go on the PC and download the relevant mods.
Has anyone heard of Hozier's "Take Me To Church"?
Great tune.

What if you want to play a straight character romancing a gay goat?
Oh wait. That is totally an option. Iron-Bull is a Qunari. They're basically goats.

You keep saying reality and I don't think you understand what reality is.
Reality is living with multiple people of different orientations and dealing with it. Thats including shooting down people who hit on you and being rejected by those you hit on.
Cutting through all the posts here, I just wanted to romance the ladies as a straight male character in a video game, which is an escape from reality.
Nothing more.
Obviously in real life this is not reality.....but guess what......this is a video game and not reality......

you can have a romance as a straight character.
isn't that enough?
what to hell is going on ??? ...why all are greedy to have sex with everyone at any time? this isn't a sex game .
There are two ladies for you to romance in the game as a straight male character.

And you can. So long as those ladies are also straight.
Many people are too taken with DAI and treat this video game, which is not reality, as real world reality.
It's just a video game.
Good fiction and entertainment reflects reality.
Here's another idea then.
No sex or romance for anyone. Problem solved.
Just focus on the game, plot, storylines, quests and make it a really long game.
