Video Games with Gay Content

digg Share this on Facebook Huffpost - stumble reddit del.ico.us RSS

If you're a gay gamer (a gaymer), you might have wished from time to time to find a game or two with some gay/lesbian content. Lucky for you, someone has prepared a list of such games. That someone is a conservative, and evidently homophobic, investment advisory firm, but no matter--we appreciate the list.

The games they don't like, but you might, for glbt reasons, are: "Army of Two," "Bully," "Fable 2," "Grand Theft Auto IV," "Mass Effect," "Saints Row 2," various "Sims 2" games, and "Valkyria Chronicles." Of course, shop wisely--some of these may not be gay enough for your taste (and it's even possible you might not like them for other reasons).

homophobic is a presumptious term. That is a tactic of "reframing" that is so often used by repugs. it is a form of intellectual dishonesty. i cannot take anyone who uses the term seriously.

When you're gay you know what homphobia is. If you don't take it seriously you are just ignorant and don't want to learn.

Mass Effect only has a lesbian romance option. For a gay guy like me, it means nothing. Still, it's a good game, with an interesting sci-fi story.
BioWare was critized for not creating a male romance option, but they claimed that "they didn't have enough time/resources" for it.

For us gaymers, we just deal with the fact that in any sort of RPG setting there usually isn't a gay option. It's only a small annoyance as long as the game is fun and has a good story.

That this rightwing group is spending it's time combing through video games looking desperately for gay content, pretty much tells you everything you need to know about them. What's next, their intricate research into airport restrooms? Paging Larry Craig...
