Holy freaking crap... Forget genetics, forget choice, and forget the nature vs nurture debate.
Kids kill themselves because who they want to be with is unacceptable to society. The exclusion of these types of positive relationships in all forms of media just perpetuates the idea that what they feel is "wrong", "sick", "perverse", etc...
So parents groups are concerned that their kid might play this game (filter what your kids play, you know... PARENT them) and catch "the gay".
The ridiculousness of that notion aside... So what? If honestly you, as a parent could choose to have a living, happy homosexual child, or a depressed, possibly dead one, which would you choose?
Nicely done on standing up to absolute bs, bioware. I apologize for the dark tone, but really this needs to change.
Eeeeeeh! Eddie Two Toes wuz sayin that youze guys is gonna be given the next Hanna Montana game a bad review. The Don say that ain't an option, capishe? So's unless you wants to sleep with the fishes: "Hanna Montana:Eurasian Invasion is the best game us mooks has ever played, an the nuanced variation of gameplay modes is good." Oh yeah, and happy holidays. I'll expect the "package" in the new year. Remember, nuanced and stuff.
