As long as they had a good plot in which the character was gay it would be fine. If they did there research they could have teh main character treated as gays are in the most intolerent of cultures in some of the cities... this would add some depth... obviousally it would be like the inn in thamasa(did I spell that right) in FFVI where they charge outrageous prices.... untill you talk to strago.
Anyways.... I do have to aggree taht too much hype and sterotypes probably wouldn't be good.
