Does it bother me? Not really.Â
There's always the arguments, "It's only a game, get over it". But if it were the other way around, would you be able to? If certain races were barred from marriage (be they hetero or homo), would it be getting the same easy-going responses? Doubtful.
Anyhow, unless there are certain bonuses you get from marriage, I say to Hells with it. We can create our own ceremonies and have a blast doing so.
Well said! People get so caught up in 'it's not a big deal' when... it is. For people who are LGBT, its kind of invalidating their gaming experience. What if Miqo's were restricted from marriage? What if only people who paid $5 extra per month could get married? What if only fair-skinned people could get married, or only Legacy players?
There would be a lot of flack about above scenarios, so how is this any different? People have the right to express themselves, their sexuality, and to ask SE to deliver a better, equal marriage system.
Honestly they said they are considering it, that is good enough for me. And even if they don't it won't invalidate my gaming experience. Honestly I'll probably less miffed than when Bioware decided no same sex relationships and that was because with the right appearance mod Corso was kinda cute.Â
As far as any future RP goes, if I do end up RPing a same sex relationship and marriage comes up, I will treat it one of two ways - either what Yoshi is correct that lore-wise it is accepted and the fact I can't do the marriage "quest" as a game play mechanic or if the lore states it is not generally accepted then I will say the city-states do not dictate my relationship, how my partner and I feel do.
If I recall, there was an extremely gay intimate scene with a certain elf in Dragon Age (Bioware game).

Ugh - yeah I actually preferred Leliana over Zevran ... he was so scummy I wouldn't touch him with a 20 ft pole even if they gave me a full body hazmat suit.
Plus I'm not a fan of tattoos especially ones of the face.
