Same-sex romances to be available on Star Wars: The Old Republic; Religious Right wanks
MaddowBlog on MSNBC: A long time ago, in a galaxy far far, a gay...

Apparently the whole Religious Right versus same sex-romance-in-Star Wars-video-games dogfight isn't over yet.

Quick rewind: Recently, BioWare, the makers of the massively popular MMO video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, decided that one of your role playing options should be a same sex romance. Diverse, the universe is, hm?
