+1 to BG3 companions having sexuality preferences that match up with their backstory and in-game dialogue barks. Some of these preferences can be more strict (e.g., straight only), where others can be more lenient (e.g., "I've never felt this way about a man before.")
As for Inquisition's "pandering to progressives," I'd actually say it's the opposite. If you take a look at the companions, 2 (1 of each* gender) are bi, 2 (1 of each* gender) are gay, and the remaining 4 are straight. And of those remaining 4, 3 are men. So we see that the biggest group of the companions is straight men, which hmmmm...seems very not-diverse to me!
