[edit] Gay and lesbian characters

What is the reason to put "gay and lesbian characters..." link in the article under See also header??? How is this connected with the topic? Walen 13:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering this myself recently. I looked at the page, however, and found: "The Atari computer game The Temple of Elemental Evil (2004) made news headlines when it was revealed that the game has an optional story line where the player can rescue a gay pirate and see him marry one of the male player characters." Granted, this is unsourced information, but I suppose it would warrant a mention on the ToEE article page.--Miguel Cervantes 18:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Indeed, after some searching I found out that there is one quest in Nulb that revolves around a homosexual pirate. Nonetheless I still don't see a reason for this link being here. This seems to be the only game's page having it. It might imply that the game is all about gays, while this is just a 0.001% of it's contest and in fact there are several heterosexual romance plots in the game. It is just not important enough piece of information to put in a 11-line article. In my oppinion 'See also' section could instead contain things like original D&D module, similar games, etc. It could be worth to add more detailed information to the "gay and lesbian..." article when I finish ToEE myself.

Hmm... I was more or less following the game at the time, and I utterly missed this "controversy" regarding a gay character (not an important character in the game at all, btw). The most I saw was some people commenting Bertram expressed rather stereotypical view on homosexuals. The "controversy" part in the article seems to me like major exeggration, if not out right making things up. - The Merciful 15:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
