Yes, I'm linking a normal site about a western-developed game, and I feel very dirty for it, so please don't call extra attention to it.
"I am such a player!"
Indeed.
Yes, I know this is a bald faced attempt at courting controversy by Rockstar. Still, there's something oddly impressive about the nerve and stupidity that went into putting something like this in a game that they knew was going to be overly scrutinized by the non-gaming segment of the US public.

This is a powder keg just waiting to explode. :)
The real question is, why is this a powder keg in the first place?

Well that's striking.
Really, I can not express how glad I am to be finally able to break the dogmatic imposition of the "heterosexual love story" cliché in game history.
This choice should have already been implemented WAY much time before. At first I thought that new and experimental games like Persona 3 would already have added that option, but sadly did not.
...and I'm not a yaoi fan-boy, what I'm claiming is my freedom to choose. Choose whoever I want the main character to be paired with. I mean, if I'm already aiming from the beginning for an homosexual couple, I would like the characters to really mirror what I am aiming for, not just the "best friends" excuse.
I really hope this to become a general tendency instead of a peak in a particular game.

...Ok, now that is rather silly, I admit.
But I still want to quench your thirst. Because I am the one that put you into the desert.

I agree, actually, though this being Rockstar I'm not exactly impressed at their doing it for any reason than the sensationalism. Sorta like Fear Effect 2, hahah.
