[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2746476, member: 11697"] I've had almost all the gay male PCs in my campaigns played by straight female players, and the one player who happens to actually be bisexual, he has only played straight male or female PCs. I've played NPCs of all stripes, it doesn't bother me one way or the other to RP a bi or gay male or female character, I can just 'get' better and portray a straight male or bi/gay female character more easily simply because of my own ooc preference in partner. Sexuality rarely matters though, and I've had some NPC fiends that don't have a distinct or a fixed gender, and they'll use this as a weapon in many ways. I've had my namesake show up at social functions with eye candy of either, or both genders, perched on her arm as escorts and dinner dates etc. Tanar'ri can shift gender if they wish to, simply through enough concentration, and yugoloths tend to be either hermaphrodites or able to shapechange at will. Thus for many fiends, it doesn't honestly matter in many cases, and their ideas of preference might not conform to the mortal ideas of sexuality in the context of two distinct genders. Life thus gets more complex. Fiend to PC - 'Shall I be X gender for our dinner meeting? Or shall I surprize you?' Such can happen, and they might swap gender just to keep you off balance. Show up as a dashinging dressed male one meeting, then as a gown wearing female the next, but very obviously being the same person. Gender and sexuality in my fiends tend to transcend mortal ideas of fixed biology and distinct sexual dichotomy. Baatezu come the closest to mortals since they have distinct male and female genders, and remain in a fixed gender. But I haven't had to deal with Baatezu sexuality before, just some instances with 'loths (one PC got romantically involved with an arcanaloth, and another PC did much later on, but it was more business with pleasure on the side, and no feelings involved) and some instances involving a Tanar'ri brothel and its alu-fiend owner who moved in next door to the PCs.
