I don't think it's a "heterosexual vs. homosexual" issue and it may be a mistake to look for parity in the framing device for an intentional story.
It's more like the writers saw that queer stories have historically gone untold in this medium and decided to tell a few of their own. How many prominent queer relationships can you name in over a quarter-century of RPGs?
EDIT:
Please meet me halfway here. I am really trying to assume good faith.
What parity/with what? I'm looking for more balanced and nuanced representation instead of overuse of tokens. Not constant reminder that Baldur's Gate is California of faerun.
You shouldn't be trying to make up for anything in the past decades in a single game, that's like trying to stay asleep 24/7 for a month to make up for a year+ of lack of sleep.
