Not sure what you mean by shoehorn but I'm pretty sure baldurs gate 1 and ultima had gay romance options.

What exactly can you do with the girdle of dick-chopping aside from have whichever character you've started a relationship with ignore the change and continue to act as if you were still the opposite sex?

I never really used it but
Romance
All of the games in the series—with the exception of the original Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast—feature optional romance paths for a selection of NPC companions. All of these come with additional dialogues and some with additional quest lines / encounters that can...
Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity & Wild Surge
It is possible to bypass the gender restrictions on romances if the protagonist's sex is changed through magical means such as the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity or a Wild Surge. The change doesn't have to be permanent, it is enough to switch, start the romance and then switch back again. However, the companion in question will still refer to the protagonist as whichever sex they officially can romance (i.e. Anomen will always think the protagonist is a woman, even if they are male).

I mean I guess it's fine that I've never played any of these games? I mean if that's the stuff, well I probably spent money on other games on a steam sale that might be just as bad, but sometimes I will never know because that's what happens when you build up the list, and you know what the hell I'm talking about......

There's probably a big difference between what Vance called the "normal gay guy vote" (lol) and the all-in, queer, pride vote. The latter is who they're directing things at. It's a spectrum, if you will, and they reinforce stereotypes by going after one end of it.
I grew up in one of the gayer towns in the country and knew a lot of gay folk growing up, mainly lesbians. I met my first trans (M attempting to be F) person in like 2005, way before that was on the national radar (he joined the friend group, then proceeded to freak out all of my friends with his weird behavior / aggressiveness so they stopped hanging out with him fairly quickly, despite them all being super progressive). We all called him "she" and it was no problem, it was whatever, just trying to be nice. The reason people noped out was because of how he acted and came off as unstable.
There is a pretty huge spectrum of bein' gay, and most of the lesbians and so forth that I knew growing up were just normal people who just spoke/acted more like the opposite gender. After a while I didn't even bat an eye at it. I don't recall ever seeing anyone dressed like a clown or screaming at people for genociding them or whatever. Hell, I knew tons of Bush voters and nobody batted an eye at them either, even though 80% of the town was against the war. Nobody ever screamed at anybody.
...I don't know what my point in all of this is, except that 20 years ago the same groups of people existed and everyone got along fine

This is probably a good synopsis of what we're seeing. Residually coasting on things that were already in development and will flop. Snow White is the other big one. I guess media trails behind culture by 6-12 months. Though from my perspective the culture was already over identity politics many years ago and just kept getting dragged along with it by media. I guess hoping we'd all "fall in" and get used to it or whatever. Well, hopefully we can all get a break now, which ironically would actually help race/cultural relations a lot more than what they've been doing.

No they didn't all exist. This is ignoring the giant epidemic of child grooming. Not just increases in child abuse due to social validation about predation on "willing partners" but also the mass media campaigns, proliferation of "affirming" sexual education and just the perverse concept of sexual education in general. Everything has been increasing the rate at which young people are sexualized and exposed to degenerate lifestyles. Interesting to note that the entire modern purpose of sex Ed is to end teen pregnancy. Abstinence stopped being taught, so they moved to birth control (massive hormone injection) and also guess what allows you to become "safely" (from pregnancy) sexually active and has a ton of social pressure to conform? Oh that's right sodomy.
To say that things like tranny library hour or public gay pride parades and all that bullshit don't negatively affect children and young adults is to claim that culture and education has no practical effect at all. This is clearly false.
