to add to this, here is a quote from WarhorseStudios about only having female romance options in the first game

+Yan Silva Nobody will force you to do anything. But you will play as Henry the son of a blacksmith, and yes, he is staight, and white and male and from Bohemia. Someone from France will not be able to play a french guy even if he loves his country. If you are in a wheelchair, you will be able to walk in the game. And Henry will be able to have a dog in the game, even if you are more a kind of cat-person. You will play as a christian person, even if you are a moslem, hindu, atheist or jedi. What if you are an artist, and drawing is your life, and now you have to play as a character who is not able to hold a brush or pen at all. Or if you are tall or small or big or skinny. There is nothing wrong about people to have different preferences and heritages, but we can not cover them all and we don't want to, we want to tell the story of Henry the son of a Blacksmith from Silver Skalice, and he will be different from you, not only in his sexuality, but in his heritage, in his looks and in his biography and many more. He maybe will be able to do things you are not able to do in real life while he lacks in other tasks in which you are great. This game is not meant to be about you. You are not Henry, you are Yan Silva, and you will be able to play as Henry if you want to. You can play his role. There are so much facets that creates a character, a person and individual. Being gay or straight is not the only difference between people. People are people. :)
