Bingo. Precisely the reason why Nexon probably wouldn't even entertain the thought. I can also imagine a massive boycotting of NX cards in stores and/or pressure to remove them altogether in locations where an anti-gay sentiment is more prevalent.
And for the record, in the US, gay marriage is currently left up to each state to pass legislation. In Massachusetts and Connecticut, marriages are legal. In a handful of other states (Vermont for example) "civil unions" are legal, but your rights as a couple are slightly limited. In a few other states, there are laws allowing gays to be joined, but imposing further limitations. The rest of the states (and Puerto Rico) have actually passed legislation AGAINST gay marriage, in so much that even if you got married in another state, your marriage may not even be legally recognized in your home state. I think that's absolutely ludicrious honestly, and it's high time that it became a national issue rather than left up to the states (along with fair voting practices that aren't out to punish third-party candidates, but that's a whole other discussion.)
