I am all for LGBT representation, being part of the community myself.
Doing a quick skim of the thread my opinion basically mirrors BRSxIgnition's, and I honestly gotta give you some credit with how you are handling some things being said in this thread, you have far more patience than I do.
Basically. If IS were to put proper effort into writing/including LGBT characters into the game (as long as it isn't borderline offensive, though I feel like that goes without saying) then they'll have my two thumbs up and hopes that their next attempt would be better. It's all about the baby steps.
