I've heard a lot of people argue that Baldurs Gate "isn't that gay" unless you choose to romance a companion of the same gender and to all of you I want to say shut up it is actually super gay and that's really fucking refreshing, like, so many characters reference their husband/wife when they are a character that would generally be perceived as male/female (respectively), I can have a nonbinary character that has a male frame and masculine voice and a vulva and (aside from the odd glitch) everyone uses the correct pronouns (i realise that being limited to he/she/they isnt ideal bte) and I can succesfully flirt with whoever I choose (except astarion who rejects me because depite being a hot nonbinary snack im also a sap who keeps disappointing him by being so goody two shoes), honestly we don't need to placate the people complaining about having it "shoved in their face" the correct response is to just thank Larian for including so many queer characters and telling people who have an issue with that to cry more
#I'm not saying the game is perfect on the queer rep front but please dont minimise how much casual queer content there is#because its so refreshing and minimising it to placate homophobes is pointless#im not saying the cant be discussed in a critical way btw#i know in particular there are issues with the lack of poc inclusivity#please feel free to bring up issued and areas for improvement#this is purely about not minimising the presence of canonically queer npcs to placate the angry straights#bg3#baldurs gate 3#on my next play through i should screenshot every confirmed queer character for funsies
