Like most awards involving BG3 this is a joke. Here because lazy playersexuality to save money on dialogue and companions is confused for actual lgbtq representation, especially when the confirmed lgbtq characters get ignored (who are also in my opinion not handled very well and imo their dialogue is much too cringe but I can't think of a better representation from the last year. Does RT have a good lgbtq character?).
But as Larian's developers also have said so eloquently "The characters in Baldur's Gate belong to everyone now." And that means that headcanons and fancanons are valid as well, if the lesbian and bisexual players have taken Shadowheart to their heart, then she belongs to them just as much. And Larian's writers, her VA and the entire team around developing her as a character made her believable and enjoyable to those players.
That a lazy cop-out and the equivalent of Larian throwing up the hands in the air and saying "Yes, fine, whatever you want, I don't care". Its understandable why Larian is doing it, thirst is the thing that made BG3 a success, so they want to keep it going, but its not something that should be honored with an award.
