I think this is more likely than the game secretly being epicly based before wizards of the coast used dark kabbalah magic to suddenly force them to make everything gay against their own free will.
I'm inclined to agree, especially with your earlier point that Act 1 was already filled to the brim with blacks and girl power.
Going by Act 1 prior to the mass overhaul in late development, Act 3 probably would have only been marginally less woke if Larian hadn't needed to change anything.
Related: Not coincidentally, I think the major update that added Grymforge (where at least two gay gnome couples are introduced) was when Florrick's dress was changed, and when they added the bridge cinematic at the goblin camp showcasing the chosen silhouettes, and likely when they scrapped the mind-controlled fishermen. That was the major patch that hinted at the original story being scrapped and rewritten, and we just didn't realize it at the time. Datamining also discovered the original datamined idea for Nightsong had been replaced with uwu lezbeans. It happened long before the game released, but too late to present a polished, cohesive product.
