I regard Drow as a matriarchal society, with the men relegated to little more than slaves.
Drow women prefer relationships between each other, not for any feeling of love, but from what benefits such alliances might grant them in society, such as prestige, intimidation, favours, information, resources etc.
Drow women regard their men little more than cattle, useful only for manual labour, menial tasks beneath the contempt of females, or as breeding stock.
Meanwhile, men are used to a harsh life, and tend to form bonds between one another as can occur in prison, the military, or other segregated environments.
I never really thought about that, but it makes a whole lot of sense. Drow society is also commonly depicted as being BDSM in nature, and a Drow female dominating a Drow male (already a social inferior) would be utterly meaningless. A Drow priestess dominating other female Drow would actually be socially relevant in their society, even if, like prison sex, it has nothing to do with attraction and everything to do with establishing (and displaying) dominance and status.
Elves have always skirted that association anyway, possibly because of the effiminate and 'artsy, touchy-feely' depictions of their males.
Then again, I always thought that Drow mated with demons to get their spell-like abilities, magic resistance and freakish fecundity over surface-dwelling elves... That goes way beyond same-sex stuff, mating with species not even native to your dimension!

Scary thing is in some campaign settings that feature drow or the drow-like, they're actually part spider.
Now you get to imagine spider parts. Go you. While you're on the subject, feel free to consider a Drow priestess eating her mate. Spider or drow. Or human, for that matter.
Hot drider-on-drow action, anybody?

Now we need the Homosexuality off/above Golarion. I think we can work something out with Space Opera. Gays like opera, right?
I think show tunes may be the cliche you're looking for. Not sure if I can join in on the space opera because (hit it, conductor):
Flying too high
with some guy in the sky
is my idea of nothing to do.
But I get a kick out of grue.

Naw... Barbarella is out there, and she scares me. She has the see-through plastic top she wears.

Barbarella?
My late mother made it with Pygar. I guess way back when, John Phillip Law was a get. Much better as Sinbad .
And look what I just found. The original filmic Sinbad was gay.

My late mother
I appreciate that, Trey. Thanks.
Not to sully an otherwise funny thread, she was one of those hippies who went from drug use in the late 60's and early 70's to over a decade of sobriety to 'prescription medication' in the 90's. I told her those psychotropics would kill her, but she didn't listen. Family doesn't generally listen to family. Three years later she passed away in her sleep at age 52. Her parents are 93 and 92 and still scrapping so I'm going to go ahead and blame the pills.
Now, let's get back to the famous people she knew. Mom was a free spirit and I certainly grew up around some interesting faces. :)
Orcus? Nailed him!

I just looked at a couple of pictures, and I announce that I shall face that fear. I do it for all of you, no need to thank me. I'm selfless like that.
So, let's say you've got an hermaphroditic drider.
Sorry, you're fresh out of lack. They're asexual. So they can't get one gender, so two is out of the question.
But maybe down there, there's a mad doctor who tries to experiment on hermaphrodites and drider to get them one gender each.

Oh, I don't know. Nonfunctional hermaphrodism technically qualifies for asexuality in terms of sexual reproduction (since, y'know, they can't). I'm still wondering about the nailbiting.

They become asexual when they're turned into driders from drow. I think they'll get their stuff ruined during that, they don't get extras. I think. Could be different, of course. You never know.

At age 15, I spent a day exploring Adventure or Hall of the Mountain King on a huge old Wang at UCSF. As suggestive as that may sound, it is absolutely accurate. The computers then were bigger than computer desks are now.
So, we've started with the size references, already? ;-)
In 1996, I got to work on a circa 1980 UNISYS mainframe (core memory, disk packs, fixed installation peripherals that booted from 8 in floppy disks, reel to reel tapes, etc.). The thing took up a 30 ft by 80 ft room. From a historical perspective it was interesting (as an IT professional). Right before I left in 1998, it was replaced by a mini-computer that fit in one rack (easily).

Considering some of the content that can be found on the Internet, that's not that disgusting.
If you want to be really grossed out search for "felching." You don't have to do more than read the definition in the search results.
And then there are the multiple sites dedicated to various acts with feces...
Some people actually do some pretty disgusting things in real life, which I find more disturbing than speculative acts in an imaginary world.

There's an inflation of asexualy reproducing monsters. Let's face it: W***** simply wanted to avoid any mentioning of aberration sexuality. So they just said that all these slimy tentacle things simply pop up from nothing.
And I don't think that would work. Unless you chose to completely ignore any plausibility regarding biology, assexual reproduction doesn't work for complex creatures for long. Maybe three or four generations, but you either get only clones, or end up with the same effects of severe inbreeding. Hermaphroditic reproduction as in snails would work, but that's probably allready to kinky for american mainstream publishers. ^^

But you have parents we can flame for bad parenting. ;)

Not really.
Old Skool would have been using boxes of punch cards instead of magnetic media. It even had a terminal with a command line interface! (*gasp*)

You guys think you're old-school? Pah, *I* betatested the Abakus!
Anyway, punchcards are fun. Especially if shipped internationally. And customs makes use of its right to take a sample from any bulk shipment :D
By the way, how did this discussion go from homosexual aberrations to ancient computers?
Hot gay aberration-on-construct ACTION!

That's why BASIC has line numbers, m'friend.

In a more serious, yet now quiescent, thread, I posted
Transgendering has to be much less a deal in a world where Valeros can be reincarnated as a woman, let alone a female gnome or a centaur mare. Or polymorphed into a black pudding.
(And I believe it was this thread here that discussed how to determine the sex of a black pudding.)
Marvel comics is currently dealing with this in the Runaways title, written by Joss Whedon. What does it say about your sexual preference if your partner's a shape-shifting skrull?
Someone up-thread posted about the girdle of femininity / masculinity. If each of those were made for a particular transgendering patron, it's easy to see why they're single-use items. It's harded to see why they're sitting around in dungeon treasure troves, unused.
And I've been wondering for years why they're considered "cursed" items. I guess it's because the boys Gary played with in the 70's thought girls were icky. "Haw haw! You're a girl!" Yep, that's a curse.
I'm reminded of a study done about 20 years ago. Researchers asked 8- and 11-year-olds to describe "what life would be like, if you were the other sex". Girls, typically, talked about doing things that boys normally do. Fully half the boys, on the other hand, said they would kill themselves.
Anybody remember Sir Tristan in Camelot 3000?

The other half said that they'd get in front of a mirror and play with their boobies. ;-)

Regdar to Mialee- "I'm not going down there!"
M- "Why not?"
R- "I don't feel comfortable under there."
M- "I don't understand, why not?"
R- "It's all, you know, gay under there...not that there's anything wrong with that...."
*long uncomfortable silence*
M- "You're an a$$."
R- "You're gay aren't you?"
