do gay people exist in fallout and how would they be treated?

You can romance all of the companions regardless of your gender, so yes, and they're treated like everyone else. Badly.

I mean, super mutants probably can't tell the difference when they're tearing them apart and eating them. No one cares about sexual orientation because everyone's got more important things to worry about, like not being killed by a random passerby, or a storm, or a paper cut, or whether their loved ones have been replaced with murderous synthetic duplicates.

there was caesar's legion in fallout nv and there were other religious grops in fallout 1 and 2

Brotherhood of Steel frowns upon same-sex relationships because they believe it's a member's duty to procreate and continue the Brotherhood of Steel line. I'm not sure if that's still the case since the BoS recruits a lot from wastelanders now, more than they did in the original fallouts, but it makes sense.

Sorry, let me step out of character and say what I really meant. I don't care what a video game character's sexual orientation is, because when I play Fallout romance is not a part of my gameplay. I don't care who fancies who, and I don't care about anyone's virtual feelings on anything. I care about which weapon I have ammo for, how many more desk fans I can carry, and whether or not my infection is going to kill me before I can make it back to a doctor.

There's no blatant homophobia that I've noticed, though, if that answers your question.

I dunno. Playing a 10 int character and hearing her still be condescending made me never go back in that building.

Yea i am sure in a post apocalyptic world people making babies would be priority for most folks.

Since gays generally do not like to have sex with the opposite sex and have babies they probably would not be a issue for long. They would go extinct.

Pretty much what SJWs want for western society.

You're surprised it wouldn't make a difference?

Just look at these forums and, though I mention no names, as I'm sure you'll figure out who I'm referring to, the whole concept of condescension towards others, regardless of talents, even towards people who are clearly more educated, is not uncommon...

Ha, it's more like I have a zero-tolerance sass policy in Fallout. Shooting people in Diamond City is never worth the trouble, so.. Avoidance.

In a few situations, yes. You can save a man from radiation poisoning in Far Harbor if you have a high enough Int.

Mostly it's just an Int check, very rare Luck check thrown in.
