I was a bit disappointed that my character has lesbian sex with the Consort without my permission (I was playing a renegade, and was a bit rude to her!) but there's no male/male romances available for my planned male paragon playthrough. Er, uh, you'd be surprised at the number of women who also enjoy that kind of thing.
Actually not really. 60% of the consumers of Japanese Gay m/m romance literature and comixs are Japanese housewives. It isn't such a stretch to believe that a modest market of women into gay romance (not gay porn) exists. Which, when added with the multi-billion dollar gay market, is a sizeable market to neglect.

That's what sort of astonishes me. The evidence already exists that gay-friendly = lots of money. Look at the Sims, as I said before.
