I'm not against gay marriage by any means, but I don't care if the game has same sex marriage involved in it or not. It's a game marketed towards little kids, it's not a social/political commentary game.
Animal Crossing had dress options, which was fine, but now everyone wants same sex marriage in a KIDS game? C'mon. I'm sure you can do all that in the Sims games, but just let Nintendo be Nintendo. They're stubborn as a bull if you ever realized it in the first place. It's not ignorance or disrespect, they just want to appeal to all audiences. If you don't like that Nintendo isn't including the feature, then don't buy it. Or just play it without a romancing option. There's so much more to do in Tomodachi Life but people are losing sight in what the rest of the game is about. Doing stupid silly stuff with friends, playing games, etc.
