Gay/LGBTQ+ Parents

[ix09]

In Fallout 4, "baby" Shaun inherits a mix of appearance traits from both the Male and Female protagonist.
If you customize both Male and Female protagonist at beginning of game instead of just the one you will play, you can make Shaun have Blue Eyes, Green Eyes, and other expressions of appearance.

I suspect the opposite of this might be true in Starfield if you pick the "Kid Stuff" option that lets you have parents.
If you make a skinny noodle character with bright red hair, you might find that your parents may also be skinny red-haired noodle people.
If you pick a religion, you might find your parents subscribe to the same and wear the costumes associated with that religion.
If you pick Alien DNA ... we could discover our parent are ... suspiciously, without comment, Scientists. Hmmm.

I think it's most likely Bethesda will give us traditional gender-role parents.

All of the above, is, of course, speculation right now.

I think it would be interesting if Bethesda randomized our parents' genders ... or, gave us the option to have 2 Moms, 2 Dads, or, the Traditional Mom and Dad couple.
The former two, are, for some a controversial topic. For those that don't like the idea, or are even offended by it, then, this mod idea isn't for you. No one will force you to use it. For those of us that DO like this idea, then, IF Bethesda does not give us the option to have same-sex parents, then, a Mod for it might be nice. It's the future after all, and advances in science could plausibly allow same-sex couples to have children. :)

I can see this as being possible. First step would be to create the 2 new NPCs (1 new dad to replace the mom, and 1 new mom to replace the dad). Then, once that's working, and to polish the mod, find someone that would be willing to voice the new NPCs.

 

hardest part would be to change the default lines when having 2 dads or 2 moms to say "other mom/dad" instead of "mom" or "dad" and correct gender references in the vanilla lines. For example, when your mom says "I still can't get over you being here. And it's not even Mother's Day." changed to "And it's not even Father's Day." if you go with the 2 dad option. Or "But he's just happy as a clam..." to "But she's just happy as a clam..." if going with the 2 moms
