An upcoming update to Star Wars: The Old Republic has people with high social values up in arms. The update will allow for same sex romance options within the game. Falling in love with an alien or robot is perfectly fine, as long as one is female and one is male.

First of all, anyone who has a weak enough will to be swayed into marrying someone of the same gender simply by playing a video game, has deeper problems than can be addressed here. Children with minds still in a developing phase should not be playing this game, or any MMO for that matter anyway. Stop blaming video games for turning your kids gay and realize that it was your fault for being such a bad parent.

This also completely ignores the fact that you are not locked into creating a character that is the same gender as you. Two people of the same gender can just pick different genders and then get ‘married.’  Allowing game characters to become ‘companions’ to unlock all of the game’s features, is hardly going to ruin the sanctity of marriage any more than you already have.
