The cinematic, which also features our first look at Mass Effect Andromeda‘s male protagonist (we met its female protagonist at E3), explains that players take on the role of the Pathfinder who must find new planets for humans to colonize.

Although games are steadily featuring more LGBTQ characters, they are still a rarity and gamers have praised BioWare for consistently representing diversity in its games.
