    Yep. There's a quest in greenshade that has a male couple in it. Also, a lot of the dunmer and altmer quests do have a few gay nuances in it.

    I think i saw some in Morrowind. Crassius Curio was gay depending on which gender you played. I always play male and he becomes your patron when you take of all of your gear/clothes. So he is gay, depending on which gender you play.

    Also i remembered 2 female Deadra in one of the TES games who looked like 2 lesbians to me (I was in my puberty).

    Overseer Shiralas is a Female Dunmer in Vivec City who is married to Varona Beloren, another Dunmer female.

    Vivec himself is actually a Trans-gendered God-creature who has had sex with male and female partners, and "His" sermons describe through innuendo his intense hate-sex relationship with Molag Bal (Which is more like a Fanfiction he made Reality through harnessing the Divine Power that created the whole world. Creepy.. Feel bad for Molag "Father of ***" Bal) and his slaughter of their children.

    Some characters flirt with you regardless of gender.

    There are others, but... I just recently ran through the Morrowind quest line with one of my Characters, so that comes to mind most strongly.

    Edit -

    Velsa and Narahni in a Thieve's Guild side quest
    Velsa is a Dunmer Female, Narahni is a Khajiit Female
    Narahni also has a Son, so it is likely she is Bisexual.

    Several. Both male/male and female/female. I think I recall one where a khajiiti female is trying to flirt with an elf female by rubbing up against her and leaving dead skeevers at her doorstep.

    It’s a tiny quest but utterly exquisite, it’s no overstatement to say it changed the way I think about those relationships. It will never be who I am but it’s an extraordinary bit of of subtle storytelling. For anyone looking for it you should have no trouble finding it along the route for the main zone quest in greenshade

    Overall though there are quite a few, it’s nothing overt and in most cases will require a bit of attention to detail but is seems the folk of tamriel are totally at ease with that at least

    Isn't there one in Bangkorai (werewolf related)? Also there's the sailor's unrequited love of another male character in the Stros M'Kai storyline that gets you to Betnik.

    ==

    But yeah, as a whole Tamriel is pretty accepting of same-sex couples and they have been referenced as far back as Daggerfall (and, at least in my experience with the game, some randomly-generated quests have you rescue the spouses of NPCs that can be of either sex regardless of who gave you the quest). Every game since has had at least one gay character in it (Off the top of my head: Vivec, Crassius Curio, Viranus Donton and Eduard Hodge, Bjornolfr and Hrodulf, and Susana the Wicked), not to mention a few lore characters that go for the same sex or swing both ways.

    ESO's the first game in the series that has more than one gay NPC in the game, though, which is nice and honestly feels more natural since we travel the breadth of Tamriel.

    Yes, it’s the one with the hidden village. Follow the road around the right side of the lake in the top right corner of the map and look for a little camp and a worried looking young man

    Mara says love is love, and no one has any right to say that.

    Dibella says **** all the ***** because ***** goes in the ******

    And Vivec says "Oh Molag, what a big spear you have"

    Point is the divinities in Elder Scrolls don't have any problem with that sort of thing, so there is no ingrained religious taboo against it in Tamriel.

    ...aaand that is pretty much it.

    There are also a few bisexual ones, and at least one or two who may or may not be trans... and noone gives two tugs of molag bals spear about it.

    All in all, a very pleasant depiction of the whole issue - not too "in your eye" about it, it just is, and everyone in Tamriel accepts it as that.

    There have been times in our worlds history when people of some culture or another had pretty much the same approach. They just saw it as one way people went about loving. Sadly, there are also other times when its gotten sitgmatized as "abomination", most likely by guys who were afraid homosexual men would treat them like they treat women I reckon... :trollface:

    No kidding. I have to wonder if this question would have been asked if the OP had asked for a list of Bosmer quest givers.

    Anyway, another one is an Altmer captain lady in Grahtwood whose wife gets kidnapped by Brauti Bloodshark.

    I seem to remember a female Argonian mage in Wrothgar who apparently gets around. Everyone you talk to in that quest, male and female, mentions they want to hit some more of that.
