Luke Miller wasn’t looking to create a homosexual video game. He says his inspiration came from science fiction, point-and-click adventures and Australian gay culture. He also mentions The Sims and Birdo (a gender-bending Birdo) from Super Mario Bros. 2 as games that encourage same-sex relationships.
Dorian, a mage in Dark Ages III who is complex and whose sexuality makes him more than a stereotypical character. Other notable examples include Overwatch’s gay characters and Borderlands’ playable NPCs.

Gay characters and themes are still relatively rare, despite the growing popularity of videogames. If you’re looking for the odd game with an obvious queer bent, there are plenty to choose from. Developers in the likes of Melbourne, Australia and Eureka, Oregon are working to change that. Luke Miller, creator of sci-fi adventure My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant, didn’t set out to make a “gay game” but he wanted all his characters to be homosexual.
This results in a game full of sexual jokes. The game has a lot of gay humor, including a talking space elevator that spews out sexy phrases and a giant space dog named Boner.
It’s not without heart. At times, the game is surprisingly serious. As the player advances through the narrative, the character gains confidence and comes to understand his identity.
Since Nintendo’s censorship banjo-kazooie in 1988, where the cross-dressing Jolly Roger was asked to “stop her hat and hair pigtails,” the gaming industry has progressed. Today, the gamer has become king, and there are numerous ways that developers can include LGBT content in their games.

One of the joys of gaming is experiencing the life of a character very different from ourselves. This vicarious experience is even more powerful when the games are LGBT-themed.
It’s a good thing that independent developers have their own titles to try and change the situation. Taking the form of visual novels or dating sims, these independent games focus on gay characters and themes in a way that is authentic and not forced. Coming Out on Top is one such title.
This game, as its name implies, lets players become a gay high school senior trying to reveal his sexuality to two of his friends. It’s a dating simulation, sure, but it also has the feel of an old-school ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ book. And like those books, you’ll be able to choose between a selection of potential hunks and develop relationships that have a real emotional depth.
Interestingly, while this game has a lot of gay content it was never given a Steam Greenlight pass, and so has been kept out of the mainstream gaming world. Although some gamers say that Greenlight is used by homophobic, or at least ignorant, gamers to downvote material they find offensive.

From sapphic super villains to coming-of-age queer witches and MLM space defenders, animation has long been a great platform for telling diverse, adult stories. LGBTQ characters are becoming more prevalent in games. This is because developers are exploring new ways of exploring the genre.
Riot Games’ popular online role-playing games League of Legends and its mage Diana have recently introduced a gay relationship between Diana and Leona. Although the story takes place in a fantastical world, it is based on a real-life relationship between two women. This addition to the existing story is a small but important step towards showing diversity and inclusion in gaming.
Celeste is a platform game with a queer protagonist that follows the transgender girl on her journey up Mount Everest. Maddy Thorson – a woman who is transgender – designed, wrote and directed the game. It’s a great example of realism and authenticity.
As far as gameplay goes, the Life Is Strange series is a great place to look for LGBTQ representation. True Colors offers players the option to play as a bisexual protagonist, and they can follow different romantic storylines. Other games, such as the Mass Effect series, also allow the player to pursue same-sex relationships. However, these options aren’t always available as some publishers still adhere to strict content codes.

There have been homosexual themes in videogames for a long time. Bioware’s Dragon Age and its options for same-sex relationships, The Sims’ man-on-man pairings and even the gender-bending Birdo of Super Mario 2 are just a few examples. However, there aren’t many real trailblazers amongst gay titles. Usually the gay thing is just a side-note that’s not really acknowledged.
Fushigi Yougi was the first to break that mould. The original girls’ manga was written by Yuu Watsuse. It is a girlish fantasy set in an ancient China with a magical twist. It recognizes the competitive nature of young girls and pushes to help them find a better way of living. It understood that the importance of friendship in your life is just as important as magic or fantasy.
Fushigi Yuugi’s story was adapted to an anime TV series and three video animation releases. The TV series aired from April 1995 until March 1996 on TV Tokyo, and it spawned the Genbu Saga Manga and the Fushigi Yuugi OVA series.
Megumi Nishizaki wrote a thirteen-volume series of light novels that followed the anime. The first 7 novels tell the story of Celestial Warriors Suzaku (and Seiryuu), while the remaining 6 are set in another timeline where Miaka, Yui and Yui all become Priestesses.
