Where is the gay video game star?  Sure, there have been minor dalliances here and there, but where is the certifiable gay gaming star?  It may not seem like a big issue, and perhaps in the grand scheme of things it is not.  However, as other minority groups begin to pop up as game stars more often, it does seem that homosexuals are one group left out in the cold, so to speak.

So, where are they?  Where is the Lara Croft for gay gamers?  There have been characters that were “wink wink” gay, but how many have actually been outed within the game?  Of course, no one is asking for it to be the primary focus of a character, but the heterosexuality of characters is often made quite clear.

This isn’t a debate, but an honest question out to the gaming community.  Post below with your answers, or even thoughts on the subject.  We’d love to do a follow-up profiling a particular game.
