Wow. Shepard's only "straight" if you play him to be. He's only a man if you play him to be. I'm not sure what "seeming straight is" for you. Do you expect all gay people to have a feather boa and prance around? I have a friend that "seems straight" in every way except for the part where he likes men.

What if you play Shepard and you never get with anyone until ME3? What if Kaidan was your best friend in ME1 but storyline-wise nothing ever came of it because you guys weren't sure of each other's orientation or maybe something else? How is he even bisexual, if your Shepard never touched a woman? And for the record, I don't see what a person's sexuality has to do with their character, but Kaidan being bisexual or gay didn't really surprise me. Oh yeah, and Kaidan's face model is gay, so there's that.

Oh and that reminds me - there was originally a MShep x Kaidan romance in ME1, but they took it out at the last minute. The dialog is still in there.
