Despite being male I usually play female characters in dnd, but sexuality has been a subject we've mostly avoided throughout various campaigns and different characters. Last time I played an openly gay female character it was awkward as fuck (14 years ago, so we were just teenage guys playing dnd.) I played a closeted gay female character in between these two characters (only a dm knew and she had a ton of unresolved sexual tension with another female player character played by a guy). But today it just flowed so naturally to have my character to be gay that the issue of sexuality became important (my sorceress is now a rival to our bisexual male bard when it comes to our drow priestess hostage). It was actually something that was several weeks in the making (my sorceress constantly chastising our bard about any female npc we met yet somehow being immune to his charming personality.) First time it happened unplanned even because my last (closeted) character was pre-planned to be gay.
Somehow this session just felt better because it flowed so naturally out of the conversations we were having (I had not decided on a sexuality for her, and my previous female character was pretty much asexual), but ever since the bard joined the party there had been this sexual tension between the bard and any female character we met except for my sorceress, who I played from the beginning to just consider his (or her since the male bard has a female player, we still struggle with pronouns untill we get going.) advances as a joke. So it has actually been a long time coming, but I did not realise my character was gay untill today and I'm sort of happy about it.
