I would say the happy medium is to make any games that have homos 18+ and no marketing them to minors.
This.
NO GAME rated E or E10+ should include any of that, and I would even venture to say games rated Teen should be excluded from including any references to or themes around same-sex relationships. Because kids don't need to be bombarded with content themed based on abnormal and aberrant behaviour. Unless it's honest about the harms, dangers, and social degradation that comes along with said behaviour (i.e., a mystery game where someone gay is killed, and it turns out it's an elaborate life insurance plot because they actually had aids and that wasn't covered in the policy).
