But the characters aren't gay... openly. What we need are huge flaming homosexuals as main characters. When we hear "I'll fuck you till you love me", we've got to BELIEVE in it. Immersion.

here's a much better article from the guy who wrote that 3 part piece on crpgs on gamasutra:

I actually thought the way in which it was done in Jade Empire was pretty good. By being subtle it managed to combine realism with not offending the kiddies+parents who wouldn't realise the option was there. An openly 'out' character in that setting would be out of place. Ordinarily I'm not one for pandering to homophobes' sensibilities, but there would be something wierd about an rpg setting where the characters were just out with it - unless the characters themselves were off a kind that clearly wouldn't give a shit about what others thought, or if the world was characterised in a way such that the society in question was post-sexual-hangups (e.g. Brave New World, where sex is viewed as a harmless and innocent hobby - can be presented both positively and negatively).
In pseudo-medieval worlds, and worlds that match society's other divisions (poverty vs ambition, racism etc), perfect social equality of sexual orientation would be jarring.
