Plots for Homosexual Characters
(from the original Guide)
The Gay Man and the Jealous Wife
Have some important married person (maybe nobility) fall in love with one of the characters. This should be a " from afar" affection originally. Then when the man's wife finds out about it, she could do a couple things. First, try to have the character killed off, so she can keep her husband. Or, she could try to frame the character as being a succubus (or similar) in disguise, using the theory that her husband couldn't be gay, since he married her... hence, the character must be using magic or something. Either way, when the wife first begins this stuff, the character should be unaware of the man's feelings, and be tasked with finding out what the lady has against him (the whole party could be affected too).
A variant of this could be a gay couple, where one falls for the character and the other wants the PC dead
.
Saying No
A very beautiful woman begins making appearances (could be an adventurer) when the party is in town. Initially, she's just friendly towards the party, then little by little it becomes apparent that she's interested in the homosexual. One option, the party must tell her and convince her she's got no chance with him. The character could tell her, and who knows how she'll react when she finds out. Probably, initial rage or disgust, but up to this point, the party should have been getting the impression that she's really a very nice/important/heroic person. This could lead to further role-playing encounters as the party tries to keep her as a friend.
Land of Fairies, Literally
The party enters a foreign city where homosexual is the norm. The entire party is viewed with disgust (except the gay character, and he is looked down upon for befriending the " straights, " said with disgust by all NPCs in the town). A chance for excellent role-playing encounters for all concerned.
Reverse Rape
The character could be raped by some powerful/important woman. Perhaps a magic-user, who could have some nasty original spells, specifically for torturing the guy. Then it becomes the party's " test of friendship" to hunt the offender down and kill her. One would hope they would do no different if it was a female character who was raped by a man.
Evil of Homosexuality
Have the party enter a city/dominion/area where homosexuality is suddenly being persecuted to the extreme (a la Spanish Inquisition). The local ruler has outlawed it, the church too, all the major powers have decide that it is the root of all evil and the reason their city/dominion is undergoing economic hardship (which is just an excuse to cover the results of their own corruption). Homosexuals are being burned at the stake etc...
The homosexual party member might well feel the need to combat this persecution, and if powerful enough, be the champion of local homosexuals. If he/she is stupid enough to confront the ruling elite, a great chase scene can be had, but the party should escape. Now the possibilities for a lengthy campaign where the homosexual character (with or without the aid of the rest of the characters) can form a underground resistance movement. If the character isn't that willing to help out, an old lover can run into him/her on the street and threaten to expose them if they don't help (another way would be to have the character watch as an old lover is burnt at the stake, and character should be resolved to help at that sight).

So, the party gets embroiled in all kinds of planning, raids, rescues, waging the battle for the hearts and minds of the public, maybe even an assassination or three if that's how your players are. Meanwhile they are pursued an harassed with increasing strength until the climax. Perhaps one of the city/dominion leaders is a really a homosexual, and the party convinces them to confess in front of the people, who knows?
Adventuring Ideas
(from the original Guide)
The Love Boat
The player characters book passage on a magic-flying luxury cruise ship nicknamed " The Love Boat" for a relaxing time in the clouds. On the ship, the PCs encounter the crew: Captain Stubing, " Gopher, " " Doc, " Isaac, Julie McCoy. Also, they encounter loads of interesting people and plenty of opportunities to use the rules and stuff that are presented in the guide.
Dog Man Needs A Date
An uncharismatic man hires the PCs to help him attain the affection of a lovely maiden. This allows great opportunity for role-playing, which includes buying new clothes for him, teaching him how to act, etc. Problems could arise if the maiden falls in love with one of the PCs. Also, the maiden could have a large fighter boyfriend who could be really angry.
Twins
A PC seduces a very beautiful, nice, willing person. The following day, the PC meets the twin who is mean, bad, and boring. This could lead to interesting effects.
