I agree that rejecting a game entirely based on "oh, he's gay" would be sad. It would depend on more than just the fact that he's gay. I watch TV shows with gay leads, I've watched movies with gay leads (eg: I watched Brokeback Mountain but admittedly found it very boring and unenjoyable, personally speaking) and some I have enjoyed, some not so much. Games put you in some vague amount of control of a character, though, and it would be nice if there were options rather than being told "In this game, you like guys" because it's very hard to force that. Having said that, if it was not a major part of the game but just a sidenote about a character then I'd not be bothered at all. If it was a major part of the game that you are involved in a male to male relationship, I would probably be a little weirded out by that and would never really enjoy the game because of the lack of ability to relate to the main storyline, though. Probably similar to Brokeback Mountain. But that was boring as it stands. At least, I thought so.
