Mass Effect
Mass Effect 1 and 2 has romance options for a mono-gender race with feminine appearance called the Asari. Mass Effect 3 has gay and lesbian romance interests. Kaiden Alenko is bisexual and romance-able by a male Shepard.
Mass Effect - Xbox 360

You shouldn't leave Kaidan on Virmire if your Shepard is a gay man and you'd want to romance him in ME3.

Tales
Lloyd can choose a male or female soulmate. Zelos, the character on the right, says
Put on a show that will make me fall in love.In one skit, Zelos calls Lloyd hunny (in my playthrough this happened once Zelos was Lloyd's soul mate). In another Zelos tells Loyd
...Heh heh. Those are such cajoling words... If you want to think that way, then that's fine.

Fallout
Fallout 2 has gay and lesbian marriage. Fallout 3 has a bisexual female prostitute, but prostitution is a minor part of the game. Fallout: New Vegas has one gay and one lesbian companion (non-romantic) character; you can use the confirmed bachelor perk on Arcade Gannon and other characters.
The prostitution is very underwhelming. Your character pays for it just like anything else and nothing is shown.
Characters aren't romanceable in Fallout 3 or New Vegas.

Jade Empire
Jade Empire has a romance option (wikia) for Sky and Silk Fox; for the Sky romance, you need to be extra careful not to be locked out.
Unfortunately, studio heads decided to censor and blackout the gay kissing scene. This mod restores the scene.

Fable
Marriage: Fable I is an excellent game. The atmosphere of the second game isn't as excellent, but there are many game-play improvements; unfortunately, the second game simplifies the game-play when it isn't needed (e.g. far less spells). Fable III reviewers say the plot isn't as good and the game-play is too simplified.
Fable TLC is available on PC, but the mods are limited. To my knowledge, Fable II and III software prevents mods from being made.

Fable III - Xbox 360
Nicholas Hoult's characters Eliot is only romance-able in the game if you play as a female character. Gay characters have to settle for unimportant NPCs instead of childhood sweethearts; that's a very glaring oversight by Lionhead.

The Elder Scrolls
Marriage: The Elder Scrolls V has marriage unlike Morrowind and Oblivion.
A short marriage guide is on IGN and a more detailed guide is on Elder Scrolls Wikia.
Every romance-able character is bisexual.

Dragon Age
Dragon Age I has a male and female bisexual character, but you can install a mod to make Alistair and Morrigan romance-able.
The 2nd Dragon Age is criticized for similar dungeons and EA's choice to rush the release. Every romance-able character is bisexual in the second game.

KOTOR II
Juhani's romance subplot is the only same sex romance option. I read it's possible to switch your gender for KOTOR with a save game editor, but Carth will call you a woman.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn
It's up to the player to decide if they think Ike and Soren are more than just friends.
To be able to get the converseration in Radiant Dawn, you need to transfer a save where Ike and Soren have A support, get A support in POR, and recruit Lehran which can only happen on a second playthrough.

Façade
Façade is an interactive story that enters the uncanny valley and can be hilarious, but it's an interesting benchmark in interactive gaming. You can flirt with either character.

Dys4ia
Dys4ia is a poignant short autobiography about a trans-woman.

Fragile Dreams

Fear Effect
Fear Effect 2 is a prequel to Fear Effect. In an interview one of the designers of Fear Effect 2 said
Once and for all, let me set the record straight. Hana is not a lesbian! She likes men...and she likes women. Who she chooses to go to bed with at the end of the day is not a big deal![...]The only reason I wanted Hana to have a female companion this time around is because it gives me the ability to create an extremely interesting love triangle further down the road.

Bully
The main character can kiss boys as well as girls.
