It's a Japanese game operating on a global scale, it isn't going to commit to one political stance over the other - especially when it's going to operate differently in specific regions. You know, like any business.

Personally as a gay guy I don't want Square Enix to take a stance one way or another. I want them to give players the tools to tweak the game to their personal tastes so that they can decide, within reason, how they want to explore it. They already do that on multiple fronts so this is really just a case of some people having an odd hangup about strangers not wanting to fawn over their character's design/glamour.
