Gay Gnomes
I may have missed one, but I have only found gay gnomes throughout the game. It didn't matter what faction they were all gay. So, my questions is do the gnomes in Forgotten Realms reproduce by magic or how do they have children? Are there any hetero gnomes or is the preponderance of gay gnomes just a Larian thing?

I thoroughly recommend them. They are brilliant books. Started reading them as a teenager and have the entire series. Death is my fave character from the series.
Death sounds like potential for some dark humor. I like the sound of that.

Definitely. He is the only writer who can really make me laugh out loud.

Terry Pratchett's work is just amazing. I highly recommend it too.

As for Death, he is both funny and insightful. One of my favorite characters of all time.

In discworld dwarves only have one gender so any mixed sex pair would seem like a gay couple
No, in Discworld female dwarves just have beards and are at first glance indistinguishable. Carrot, raised by dwarves, had a mom and a dad, specifically.

If you want a better example of "inclusivity", Nobby's stint as a crossdresser in Jingo is a far better example. It has managed to perfectly illustrate the mindset of the people-that-shall-not-be-named, whether on purpose or not. He even claims to have discovered his feminine side!...

...and it had nothing to do with him being surrounded by a literal harem, oh no.

And yes, those books are amazing and a personal favorite.

What if gay gnome have interracial relationship with a gay human? Is it like legal pedophilia when the human tries out the extra tight fit? Or get on his knees for a bj?
As long as they both are happy? Would people against their relationship be called racist bigots, or moral right? Can priests switch to legal gnome love to avoid angry mobs in the future? Come on rainbow nutties, answer me this one 🤢

People and their obsession with gay gnomes.

This idiocy deserves only one response.

How the steam moderators can possibly think this thread is 'productive discussion' is beyond me.

I find the discussion much more interesting after blocking the bigots. OP not blocked as it will obviously mean the discussion disappears entirely, but my pages are left with amusing posts, chat about my favourite writer, and while it may not be on topic for anything BG3 related it is giving me chuckles on a slow work day.

There's also Lenore and Yrre (gnome sparkle inventor) at underdark arcane tower. Yrre has genderless pronouns, so likely lesbians.

I think it's each writer working in isolation wanting to represent, and when they came together realised their groupthink. By then too late.

So when a bunch of writers who identify somewhere within LGBT all happen to write content that reflects their experiences, it's 'groupthink' (negative connotation), but when it's straight writers all writing straight content it's not?

I can't think of a single instance where it's been described as such.

There's just... so much to unpack with some of you folks.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Yrre

Yrre is consistently referred to using gender neutral pronouns (they/them), and they are likely non-binary.

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Yrre

Gender: Agendered
[snip][end]

[also from Wiki[
The Sparkswall is an uncommon Ring that shields the wearer from Lightning.
When the inventor Yrre met the cleric Lenore, sparks flew. Apart, they were in a rut, but together, they inspired each other to push the boundaries of innovation and invention. This ring is just one of their many scientific triumphs.
[end[

When the right people meet, sparks fly, and science moves forward. Their genders don't matter.

Beldron and Lunkbug, Philomeen and Laridda, Barcus and (possibly - seems odd to me for Barcus to be so dedicated if it weren't a narcissist/source situation) Wulbren, Lowa and her dead wife, at least 3 if not 4 gay gnome couples compared to one straight. At least read the thread if you aren't going to play the game.

Barcus and Wulbren? What, the idea of someone being loyal to a lifelong friend he has a lot of respect for without being in love with them is that foreign to you?

The whole Barcus-Wulbren thing is a classic example of seeing something that's not there.

There's another guy who claims you can find out they had a relationship by Speak with Dead with a dead Barcus (spoiler: no, you can't, and that's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥).

BTW, there's only one Iron Throne Gondian prisoner entry at the Wiki.

Family Tumbo Pumbo (father)
Lumbo Pumbo (mother)
Shrumbo Pumbo (brother

Very traditional het family.

Bonus if you noticed his VA is John Boyega, Yes, THAT John Boyega. Finn from Star Wars sequels 7-9.
