I would suggest that you steer clear of homophobia, though, at least in IF. If the game makes it much harder for gay players than straight ones, then it’s not going to be a game I’d want to play. That’s not to say that you can’t write stories about (or featuring) homophobia, but it should be something that all players/readers have to deal with, not just those of us who happen to be gay.
Other than that, and the actual physical acts of sex, @TSSL made a list of other differences he had noticed in another thread recently:
Generally, I feel that the only real differences between a gay and a straight romance would be in the act of sex itself and in how the world views their relationship (including how the characters view it themselves).
For the sake of writing an interactive fiction thing, this is probably best. I can think of a few things where being gay has made some rather subtle differences for me in ways that are not related to homophobia. These would generally also apply in cases where one partner is bi/pan, too. So I’d offer some of these…
Love triangles can get more complicated. For example, there one time when the guy I had a crush on told me that my previous crush was cute… I felt so confused
My boyfriend and I are attracted to the same gender. (Hi, boyfriend!
Jealousy and attraction can get mixed up in weird ways. I suppose this could happen with heterosexuals, but I think I’m more likely to get into a situation where I’m simultaneously attracted to a guy but also feel jealousy… sort of “do I want to be with him or do I want to be him?
Being attracted to my own gender can provide a different metric for judging oneself. This can be both useful and disappointing, depending
I mean, these probably wouldn’t be relevant to most stories; you very much can write a gay romance the same way you’d write a hetero one. I just think it’s a bit of my point of view that’s worth sharing
