He also liked to make veiled references to certain homosexual acts. Problem was, he was just doing it to see if he could get a rise out of anyone. It did and it backfired. What's left of our group gets along just ducky now, and sexuality is kept to a bare minimum. One thing you may want to consider, and its been said already, is really know your players. Guys who are content and secure in their sexuality (gay or straight) are usually OK. They can have fun with it. Its the guy who's unsure of himself, maybe well back in the closet, that you have to look out for when you bring this stuff up. If you're gonna have trouble, or an uncomfortable player, I guarantee it will be him.Personally, I don't see the need to bring homosexuality up in order to create suspension of disbelief. Understand that I'm not being critical here, but your world will not be any more vibrant or "more believable" because you included openly gay and bi people as NPCs. I don't know if the value justifies the cost, if you get my meaning.  If it was my game, I'd focus my efforts elsewhere.But maybe that's just me.Good Luck to you</blockquote>
