Funnily enough, even though they were one of the forerunners of woke ideology, none of the original DA games even used the term "gay" (or bisexual, or lesbian, or homosexual, or...). Despite the series' bad worldbuilding and growing promotion of Californian politics, the writers were at least trying to make Thedas feel like a fantasy world divorced from our own in the first three games, where the people's speech patterns don't fully match ours. Which should be the absolute minimum in writing any story that doesn't take place in contemporary times.

The current stock of Bioware can't even do that. Everyone talks and sounds like some modern-day American college asshole.
