Bard attempts seduction.
It fails, npc: "Sorry, I don't swing that way."
Bard: "Be right back, need a nap."
In addition, you can play Pathfinder 2 which has queer, non-binary, asexual, and trans characters as part of the core rules.
Plus it's a straight-up better game than DnD
I will never understand what it is that drives Pathfinder fans to just open the door and go "YEAH BUT YOU SUCK AND WE'RE BETTER" at every single possible opportunity. The reason I don't play Pathfinder and actively avoid it is specifically because of this behavior. If this is how you're trying to get people to switch over from one to another then it just gives me extreme pause for what the people are going to be like when playing with them...

Pathfinder players are the Linux users of the TTRPG world. Open source, heavy parallels to closed-source, better content than closed source in many ways, will absolutely pretend any shortcomings don’t exist, and fans that insist “bro it’s finally ready, just make the switch, it’s super easy you’ll see.”
Then when you try to switch, it’s juuuuust different enough that you constantly have to consult the manual, but everything is named something different than the closed-source version so even the index isn’t super helpful at looking things up.
And if you ever stumble, the fans will pile on you with “bro RTFM” like it’s not forty three books long and counting.
