Mass Effect 3 will have gay romance option for male Shepard

Mass Effect Executive Producer Casey Hudson has confirmed that the final
installment of the trilogy will finally allow a male Shepard to know
the touch of another man. Hudson tweeted over the weekend that Mass
Effect 3 will support "wider options for love interests," including
same-sex for male and female characters "reactive to how you interact
with them in-game."

Previous installments of the stellar, interstellar saga allowed Shepard
to participate in male/female, lesbian and Asari tentacle-head
encounters. The omission of a gay pairing for Shepard became even harder
to reconcile when BioWare's Dragon Age series allowed players the
freedom to define the sexual orientation of their protagonists.

In interviews, BioWare heads Drs. Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk have been
responsive to the subject. "The team has its perspective," Muzyka told
us during February's DICE meeting. "When they created the character,
when they defined him. We're pretty open to how the team wants to define
their characters. We go with what they like."

It seems the team is ready to try something different.

I just hope that they don't do "accidental flirting". Like, you give somebody a friendly compliment without realizing that it's the romantic option. In Dragon Age, I accidentally flirted with Zevran and had to break it off with him.

Lol interesting, guess all games are opening their target group? lol
