At least in Mass Effect it was optional, you could tell all the romantic options to fuck off, because hey we have a galaxy to save from Cthulhu monsters. And iirc it never effected the gameplay.
Interesting, I never knew that considering I always saved Ashley in ME1 and they didn't make her gay. I don't think they'd even be able to write her character today.

The only part I hated was turning Kaiden gay in the third game despite not being the case in 1. Why could he not just be a bro?
