I love the fact that I have the chance for gay colonists, and to be honest I usually use the Prepare Carefully mod to create a gay couple straight off the bat in some games. But what irks me slightly is that being Gay in itself is a trait.
Now, where I'm going with this is that for me to have a gay couple, those 2 pawns have the inability for any more than 2 traits that will actually effect them; mechanically, that is. Not only this, but by clumping the Gay trait in with the others, it also makes it a bit harder to find others with said trait, especially those of the same gender, which makes it quite hard to find a partner for your gay pawn if you only start with one of them, especially when you take into account their gender.
I think adding in a Sexuality to the pawn's Bio rather than having it as a trait would work a lot better, at least in my opinion. Of course it would still be uncommon to come across one, but I feel it would give your lonely Gay pawn a higher chance of finding a partner in the harsh rim world. Not to mention they, as previously stated, would have the opportunity of being graced with three traits over two.
(And yes, I am aware the Prepare Carefully mod allows you to add as many traits as you want, but I consider that cheating. Atleast more than using the mod is.)
