For the record, I will not accept Tryndamere/Ashe's relationship as proof that Tryndamere is straight. Why?

Let's say I argue that they're married out of necessity, simply to bring their people closer together. Maybe Tryndamere goes to sleep with a man at night. Who's to say?

That's why it's ridiculous to contemplate the sexuality of these champions. There is not one single champion that Riot has ever declared as straight and it is your own biases in assuming because a champion appears a certain way that they must be straight.

Think about your implied bigotry for a second: because Graves doesn't appear to be gay, you assume he's not. But because Varus does appear to be gay, you assume he is. How is that not automatic prejudice? Maybe Graves IS gay but because he carries a big gun and has a gruff voice you just assume he's straight. Is that not exactly the type of thing you should be fighting against? Automatic prejudicial assumptions because of the way someone appears?

I'm sorry Midnight Sun but frankly, I find this desire to make Varus gay a little offensive. It's offensive because it plays into physical stereotypes and it's offensive because it places a special caveat on the homosexual community that they should be thrust into the spotlight where heterosexuals should not be. It's hypocritical and demeaning to BOTH sides.
