VGR: Last week was a week for freedom.
I’m not just talking about it being the 4th of July, I’m talking about freedom for two people in media who decided to come out of the closet and announce their homosexuality (or in one case, bisexuality).
News icon Anderson Cooper and up and coming R&B star Frank Ocean both decided to allow the world into their bedrooms last week, each announcing in their own unique way their love for people of the same gender. It was a big step for both men, as each had been constantly dogged by rumors of their homosexuality (or bisexuality, in Frank’s case) for some time, and they each felt it was time to put the rumors to rest, each in a written letter.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

Right behind this, no issues on my part.
Think it would be good to see this.
Even if it was a character who acts "gay/Bisexual"...but it's never actually confirmed, if you catch my drift.
Karen Walker is like that from Will and Grace, Stewie from Family Guy and Roger from American Dad
Look at JD from Scrubs, he acts pretty gay especialy his bromance with Turk but we all know he's not...it's just part of his characters charm and why we all like him so much
I would love to see that kind of character in a videogame but at the same time somehow manages to be the hero.

It happened...
All depends on the game and it's story.
Creating a gay character for the sake of creating a gay character . . . that's unneeded.
To be fair, I see things in the same vein as normal relationships in games. Don't even implement it if it doesn't serve an actual purpose.
If it's there just to be there, just cut it. It serves no real purpose.
I am more than happy to see this happen. It's more than time. Just handle it properly.
It would actually be really refreshing. As long as they don't portray that person in a very stereotype way. No way near all gays walk around talking like girls, wear makeup and listen to Mariah Carey.
To be honest who cares? how many game characters get the girl like they do in a hollywood flick?
How many game characters do we grow close to and have some empathy for?
So it's neither here or there until it becomes more than DRake, Mario or Bowser getting the chick.
You have not even conquered ethnic characters yet and you want to discuss gay ones...get in line mate lol
