This could be a PR nightmare whether they allow characters of the same gender to marry or not, and just telling people to change their character's gender if they don't like it isn't a solution. You can't change the gender of your character at will, and it's unreasonable to expect people to roll brand new characters any time they can't marry someone.
Not to mention many here have suggested ways in which they could avoid the "PR nightmare".

1. Change the name of marriage to something else (for everyone).

2. Allow it to be more player driven by simply giving us the means to do it ourselves.

3. Phrase the removal of the restriction completely differently so that you don't have to actually take a stance. Saying that you're simply allowing all players to marry instead of allowing same sex marriage is neutral enough of a statement.

Hell if you want to be really cowardly about it, just "forget" to implement the restriction in the system and then never go back to add it. I really don't care how they do it at this point lol.
