After all, Skyrim not only opened up a new world for players, but it offered gay fans to experience romance options in a time where video games weren’t as open as they are now about including them.
Still, gameplay and story-wise, nothing is effected by you being a big, gay ol’ Dragonborn.
So go pick out your next husband/wife and get busy!

Instead, the protagonist is able to romance NPC’s regardless of their gender with very little to no difference conveyed throughout the romance and the eventual path to marriage.
That said, the lore surrounding same-sex marriage has been established outside of Skyrim through The Loremaster’s Archive, an official material written by the Loremaster behind The Elder Scrolls Online, Lawrence Schick.

Well, if you call becoming a vampire and romancing a werewolf and you’re both girls pretty gay, then yes, it’s off the charts.But there’s more to Skyrim and homosexuality than just a tick of the box of ‘yes’.
So, without further ado…
Can you be gay in Skyrim?
You can, but being gay in Skyrim isn’t the same thing as being gay in, say, Dragon Age: Inquisition. i have never played a woman in the game. i am a man wearing the amulet of mara and going around talking to all the woman so that i can get married.
could this be simply a glitch that i stepped into?
if anyone finds any of my comments or observations offensive, sorry in advance. For example, in Loremaster’s Archive: Rituals of the Divines, it is established that the Goddess of Love, Mara, has a positive perspective of same-sex relationships and marriage. none of this was meant to be that.
With that in mind, the question of ‘can you be gay in Skyrim?’ seems like it’s already been answered.
For one, nobody acknowledges that you’re in a same-sex relationship in the first place, despite the series having numerous amount of deities, as well as demonic princes and princesses.
are there any other gay characters in skyrim? No wonder she’s cool with you marrying a big lizard. has anyone else experienced this? And it all comes down to what, being gay as a player means and how that’s reflected in gameplay. did anyone ever notice that balimund, the rifken blacksmith, is gay? Yes, yes you can be very gay in Skyrim.
There is only one known explicitly queer couple in the game (in the Dragonborn DLC).
