Middle-Earth setting for gay games?

Salon.com this weekend posted an article about same-sex marriage in the new Lord of the Rings Online game. Apparently it has stirred some gay marriage debate …

    “Gay gamers do not want ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy: The Video Game’”

Breaking News: Conservatives call for remake of original “Star Wars” triology:

    “The whole ‘Lord of the Rings’ same-sex marriage issue is laudable. But, we need to go further. We call on George Lucas to review the problems of the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy.

    Luke and Leia either can’t be brother and sister, or they can’t make out!”

To me, the whole debate is a bit silly. I think it was a solid decision that the game designers took the marriage option out of the game altogether.
