What and whyI think I am not alone in loving videogames and in wanting lgbtq people and couples to be represented in videogames as well! Many videogames actually give the player the option to express their sexuality and, sometimes (rarely), their gender identity beyond male/female.
Here it is the list! Let me know if I missed any good game! |
