No — to both games.
While I appreciate that a thing like a "Pride City" exists, it doesn't make sense in a post-apocalyptic world, where the population has been decimated. Acceptance of homosexuality isn't the problem here. If anything, I think it would be more accepted for people of the same sex to enjoy one another's company. However, completely banning heterosexuality (lubrication or death — from the link) would be going against humanity and its future. I wonder if there's some nefarious ulterior motive behind it, or if it's just a mirror of homophobia in the real world. Either way, no, I don't think it makes sense in either world. Though I haven't played the Metro games, I assume it's basically Russian Fallout, post-nuclear RPG stuff, like a casual STALKER.
At least as far as the original Metro 2033 is concerned, it's a pure FPS, the RPG elements are extremely minor if they exist at all; I don't remember there being any RPG elements, but it's been a while since I played Metro 2033.
