Damn straight!
Or, is it?
Before you nervously aim for that black cross in the top right hand corner, just take a little read will 'ya?
Well, people are always going on about how realistic something looks, like, in MGS2 how realistic the guards are and things like this, but, we never ever see gay people in games do we?
Gay people are something of the society and are now accepted nationwide (Well most of us accept them) as being openly gay, and we don't really care, so why are they left out of games? Why can't they have an impact on us, the gamers?
Now, how would they be included into a game? Hm? Well, I had a little think and a talk with my brain, and we came up with this.
" Gay people could only be shown as gay if the game was rated 18, therefore we will see 2 men or women holding hands and such, making the game just that little extra bit realistic " For them to be actually shown as gay, they would have to be kissing or something wouldn't they? So, that automatically puts an 18 rating sticker on it.
Yes, but then "We" also thought how the media would react. I can see the headlines already "Gay's in games"
But, whats wrong with that? Eh? Only old fashioned people who won't accept it. Well, I don't think its right for a man and a man, or a women and a women, but, I won't hold that against someone, they are still human, living flesh, with feelings and emotions, and if they won't to live their life in that way, then im cool with that.
Seeing as most of the gamers are of the male variaty, I doubt we would like seeing men holding hands, but women, Lesbeins, I think the sales figures for that game would rise considerablaly. So, why don't we see it? Why? Why are they left out? Why? Why can't we see it? Its because its a very delicate subject.
So, how would you react to gays in games? Would you encourage it? Or dissaprove? Or would you just think "Hm, interesting" then you'd carry on with your shooting spree or driving rampage? Just think about it. How would your mother react? Mm? I thought that'd make you think.

There was a cross-dresser in Code Veronica wasn't there?
I don't know whether he was gay or not though.
Maybe someone should make a game wherein the lead character was an ultra-camp gay man dressed in a pink suit who dispels his enemies with sharp and bitchy comments.
It would be funny if nothing else.

I dont really have a big problem with gays, as long as they fit in with the context of the game i buy i wouldnt be too bothered.
