Dragon Age: Inquisition lead writer reveals the game’s first gay male companion

[The Fury]

The Fury, Bioware is hardly advertising the game entirely around homosexual characters. It is ONE facet of a complicated story/game. What is so wrong with pointing out that gay characters exist in this game?

I know they are not but it doesn't help because they are acting like it's something special to be pointed out, that needs to be shown. I do not believe that equality comes from this kind of act. Why not just say 'There is a new character in the game, here he is.' Why mention he is gay? Why can't we discover this in game?
