Comment:

When has EA ever been in alignment with progressive society?

EA funded the game and put its name on it. That's as good as EA itself putting out a game full of LGBT characters as far as anyone against LGBT rights is concerned. As you yourself said, they would've shut BioWare down if they didn't like it.

EA was actually considered a fairly nice company to work for in terms of the gaming industry a very long time ago.
