I think so, they've got a cute little back and forth going on bettween them. Like an old married couple. Don't ya think?

Wade & Herren are definitely a couple. Always have been.

It's not "something that gays do" -- but it's something that some gay people do. I didn't write Wade and Herren, but I know a couple who act in exactly the same way so it didn't strike me as being odd. I think there's room to depict relationships of several varieties, gay or straight, and in this case the fact that they're a couple isn't even the most important thing about them, really... hence why it wasn't singled out. It just is. I wouldn't have said anything, but since the question was asked, why not? It's not a wink wink nudge nudge situation, after all.

Clearly some people missed all those other gay characters that were much more masculine in their behavior -- possibly because they didn't make a point out of mentioning their sexuality, any more than Wade and Herren did. I mean, how would you know? Short of actually finding them with their partner or wearing a rainbow-coloured medallion, I mean.

Perhaps instead of the "Captain of the Guard" floaty over their head it should read "Gay Captain of the Guard"? Just so you can tell?

Ah, yes. The Gay Captain of the Guard seems sufficiently butch. I am appeased.

...wait. That model's hair is awfully well-coiffed. And perfect skin, too?

Did he just offer to re-decorate my face with his sword? Outrage!



Clearly I'm kidding... to a point.

As for whether I would ever do a gay/bi male romance that was more obviously masculine, I don't know. Maybe. That's not the most compelling point to base a whole character on, but you never know. Zevran isn't the first gay/bi character I've written or that BioWare has included in our games, and I suspect he won't be the last -- there are, after all, many possibilities to explore.

Eh, to me, they've always been tight lipped about things like this. Asari are all female, so they're techincally not lesbian. Zevran and Leilanna are technically bi-sexual, and not purely gay.

A full fleged conformation of such a thing is a win in my book.

WOH, "not purely gay?" Where does this **** come from??

I guess now would be a bad time to mention that one girl Wade slept with back in college, huh?

edit: And just to clarify, I meant what Massodonius said, not what you said, David.

I get what you're saying -- I have a friend who's just as sensitive about the topic -- but to be fair all I think Massodonius was referring to was that our romances (with the exception of Juhani) have always been "shared" so he considered it nice to have an out-and-out (no pun intended) gay character or two. Not a condemnation of bisexuality itself.
