Hmm. A member of the local thieves guild claims he is gay (he is bluffing/acting, that is) to gain entrance to the powerful gay wizards tower, so he can steal a magical item.

I used to play in a campaign where one of the nations was a matriarchy, and the typical 'marriage' consisted of two women and a man. I never made it into that land- I was trying to get to them to get their aid against the evil force of the campaign. 
Died first. Damn.
How about this: a human town has an (apparently male) elven mayor, who seems enamored of an (apparently male) dwarf. The townsfolk are from a homophobic human culture, and they hire the pcs to 'convince' the elf to step down as mayor. Investigation reveals- What?!?- that elves and dwarves are opposite genders of the same species.
Though not an actual gay/bi plotline, it points that direction and opens up interesting campaign possibilities. After all, which 'race' is male and which is female??

Alternatively - after seeing two bearded dwarven traders nuzzling in their tavern, the homophobic human culture kick them out, along with all other dwarves within their borders, and demand an apology from the dwarven nation for the insult.
Naturally, it eventuates that one of the dwarves was in fact one of the few dwarven females to venture beyond her home town, and the perceived insult had even less basis in reality than normal...

WayneLigon's third entry about the craftsman and the abused apprentice could also unfold to reveal that the craftsman beat the apprentice for refusing his sexual advances, and the apprentice doesn't want to leave for the same reasons. He is, however, afraid that the craftsman will try again and possibly rape him.
This is a great topic, and I congratulate everyone on remaining calm and mature

Ok, This is a game I ran recently for my players. It worked out pretty well except for the Monk that got hit on a lot.
An openly gay rich merchant marries a local woman in hopes of producing an heir. He is getting old and is worried about where his money will go once he dies. The woman he married is clueless about the merchants sexual orientation.
The merchant has some people approach the players for a mission. He needs a rare aphrodisiac in order to consummate the marriage. The players are to go and retrieve it from a location that has some inherent danger. In my game it was the seeds of a yellow musk creeper in the swamps with Yellow Musk Gnoll Zombies.
You can complicate the situation by having the jilted lover of the Merchant show up. He could even try to have the new wife killed for spite. Or he could accept his lover’s concern over his mortality and wait patiently until the child is born. Once the child is born he will demand that the merchant leave the woman.
This can play out several ways but this should get the ball rolling.
Good luck on this thread not becoming a total disaster. I’m taking bets on it lasting until page 2.

I was going to post a couple things, but very similar ideas to mine have already been posted, so I won't repeat them.
I will say that I saw the original post over on the "other" boards, but I didn't respond there because I haven't said a word there in almost a month, since the threads turned really, really immature.

PS - have you thought about asking this question over at the Valar Project forums? You got a lot of good ideas here, but you could get some more there, too, hopefully.

PCs encounter a demon hunter, who is tracking a particular incubus. Said demon had been trapped by the hunter, but escaped by seducing the hunter's apprentice.
Now, the incubus has effectively enthralled/brainwashed the young man into being its personal bodyguard and lure for other young men.
The hunter seeks to kill them both, believing that even if the magical influence on his former apprentice was lifted, the apprentice is too conditioned towards the incubus' will and would not survive on his own. Or would seek to resurrect/resummon the incubus.

1) A (seemingly) beautiful fiend seeks to seduce the lonely and introverted gay child of a noble or other powerful figure. Family rejection is only likely to make the fiend's hold stronger.
2) A famed band of mercenary adventurers is actually made up of male couples who, like the Sacred Band of Thebes, fight fiercely so as not to shame themselves before their beloved.
3) Girdle of opposite sex? Helm of opposite alignment? How about the Item of Opposite Orientation? For that matter, what about a secret group that has turned the Girdle of Opposite Sex into a blessing rather than a curse, using it to help would-be transsexuals to achieve new lives?
4) A particular god likes to woo handsome men, and doesn't take kindly to rejection (several of the Greek gods work well for this). When he chooses an attractive heterosexual, how does the unwilling paramour say no?
5) Certain sorcerous bloodlines seem to produce more gay offspring than others (probably making them somewhat rarer as well). Is there a link between homosexuality and magical talent? (All those bards have to be coming from somewhere...)
6) A young street hustler has captured the heart of an influential man who must conceal their relationship, but who will hear nothing harsh said about his beloved, even as the conniving hustler plots to sell his lover out to his enemies.
7) A particular shrine or grove where a same-sex couple was murdered long ago is a haven for gay people seeking shelter and aid, but the vengeful ghosts destroy anyone else who violates their rest.
8) The vampire preying on local woman is not, in fact, the dashing and darkly mysterious nobleman visiting the area, but a woman in his entourage who holds the nobleman in her thrall (and uses him as her cover).
