OK, I've always thought of myself as pretty non-homophobic, but the following quote from the Wikipedia on Fable might be a bit of a test for me... ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fable_%28video_game%29 )

"The hero can have a social life. This is mostly affected by how good or evil the character is. The hero can have a girlfriend and even a wife. It takes a lot of hard work to get to this point; the hero has to be very romantic. Many have played their hero as a homosexual on the game. The hero can get married to other men and have sexual intercourse with them just like they can with the women in the game. The game does not "show anything", but sounds can be heard. Many females in the game will say that you are "naughty". Most men just yell and say, "That's nice.""

I'm absolutely fine with homosexuality for those who choose it or are drawn to it, but I have to wonder if I'd want to roleplay a gay mercenary.

I don't believe there is even sex in the game. You just sleep together or something. It's really lame and gay, just like the game itself.

Given the thread title? I'm guessing no.

I have gay friends and find gay people to be perfectly tolerable, but i still cringe at the thought of gay sex and will probably never get over it. I just think it would ... hurt ... and .... blahhhh. *cringe*

For me, it isnt what the person is, but how they act that makes me like or dislike them. Fat black woman are fine, as long as they dont act like... fat black women. The mannerisms they usually have just annoy the shit out of me. Would you call that racist?

You have most likely guessed right. I dunno if I could ever personally do a homosexual relationship of any stripe, virtual or no.

It's fat women in general. I call it Roseanne syndrome.
