I think that even though it isn't a major game changer that he is homosexual, it's good that the gaming industry is giving LGBTs better representation and not just silly, over the top stereotypes that they think is how gay people act. I also like how they didn't blatantly shove it in the player's face about Kung Jin's sexuality; It was subtle enough but also just enough to let the player know.

It's not about the game, but more about the sites parading it around as if he were god's gift to Mortal Kombat.

It isn't. If anything it's making me feel I'm some token person who instantly makes whatever it is 100% more "inclusive" or whatever, I don't like the feeling.
EDIT: To expand on this, I'm saying that every site fawning over him solely for his sexuality and not anything he does in the story. It's weird knowing one's sexuality overshadows one's accomplishments.

I want to know what you guys mean when you say having a character's sexuality shoved in your faces. What does that mean? That effeminate men are obnoxious? The only thing I see that's shoved in people's faces is this statement every single time this discussion is had. That's like saying "you can be gay, just don't be gay near me or don't let me see it".
An openly gay character with layers, flaws, and goals isn't important? O...k
That's not the intention of any of these sites reporting on it. It's actually a big thing.
Why is it when games attempt to be inclusive and expand, there is always a group of people who claim this to be forced? It makes no sense to me.
But it IS a big deal.

But why, I don't see the big idea of everyone going "HEY, LOOK! LOOK AT THIS CHARACTER!". It really makes no sense to men.
Not once have I said it was forced, I just didn't like how the sites carried it. If a character is X, that's great. I really don't care, I just don't see the reason why this is that big of a thing.
This is pretty much going to turn into a "NO, IT IS!" vs "IT'S NOT!" thing i.e. nowhere.

Wow well I sure missed that conversation. Anyway cool that this character with multiple personality traits happens to be gay and not be like Bernie from gta4.
Like others have said I also don't like how people feel the need to try and push that as his defining and only feature.
PS: People that say that this is pandering need to stop.

This is pretty cool! and an interesting way to develop his character. I applaud MK so much this year they're doing everything right (other than Tanya's design/skin color and lack of Skarlet)

I don't like it. Despite being more cloth its more like rags whereas despite being a bikini, her mk9 costume felt like a very intricate, ornate outfit.
