On the subject of homosexuality in video games, Duke Nukem Forever almost had a gay robot sidekick. Seriously. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-12-duke-nukem-had-gay-robot-sidekick

Speaking last night at BAFTA in London, the Gearbox boss said, "Sexuality is part of the Duke personality", explaining that the original idea behind the sidekick was "to explore how Duke would relate to a peer that might have a different sexual orientation".

He added: "I don't want to spoil it because we might go there. Ultimately the robot was in a situation where for an order for victory against the aliens to be accomplished, the robot's inner workings -- a nuclear generator -- had to be sacrificed.

"The exploration was all very sincere and real and maybe we'll come back to that at some point."
