Permanent alteration that cant be dispelled maybe level 5 or 6 arcane spell for wizards? If someone really wanted to do it for whatever reason there is ways to enable it in game I suppose (spell research, finding a magic item). Such things have always existed of course but I think people are projecting modern values etc onto places in time where things were not tolerated.  Hell one of the Kings of France had someone executed for sleeping with his 2 sisters, the crime was insulting the king. In Saudi Arabia in the 70's they executed some royals for having a heterosexual affair. Often you would have to be politically powerful or connected to be protected. There were exceptions of course and it varied by culture and time frame and how much money, power and influence one had as to what was acceptable or what you could get away with. My history lecturer told me a story about a gay Knight, it was not accepted of course but it was kind of hush hush if challenged he would defend his honor and he won all of his fights so after a while people stopped calling him on it. I'm not denying anything always been there always well be can't wipe out even if you wanted to. Basically you can find examples of people being executed for heterosexual "crimes" let alone gay or other things. Those ones are a lot easier to find. Ima cynic the world is an unfair and cruel place.</blockquote>
