Gotta admit that the words "legalizing gay marriage" in the title of the Medium piece really tick me off, as they slanderously suggest that that the creators of CK3 are somehow anti-gay.
And the first paragraph seems to confirm this interpretation:
> Crusader Kings III is a pretty impressive game. It’s impressive not only for its official content, but also for its extensive modding tools. Even before its release, I was drawn in by its promises of an improved modding experience. Relevant to this post, I was also impressed by an apparent dedication towards improved inclusivity.
Now I don't know what the creator originally wrote on there, or what the people who mentioned the patch have been saying, but it does raise eyebrows...
So no reason to get your pitchforks yet, but definitely reason enough to demand some form of explanation from paradox's side.
