Well I heard 10% at most, but even if every game have someone of the comunity I wouldn't bother as well. But mostly unless a romantical relationship is relevant to the story I rather they don't even portray so you won't even no if most of the cast is straight or not, it's basically on your perception. And funny on that is that the SJW group is against prejudice and labels, but for the LGBTQI+ groups in games they want the char to be clearly that on looks and behaviour. Which is odd, at least most of my friends who aren't straight you would only know if you have a good and close relationship, because on the street, bar, restaurant, etc they would be just like any regular folk.

Agreed on the second paragraph... the dlcalready had a kiss. But the DLC was more open to interpretation that were they close friends and at that harsh moment they experimented (as is common even on natural situation, in stress that is heightened) or if she was already assumed to herself to be lesbian (not that it even matter as well). But LL was more bizarre (even more because it was off screen that someone decided to say that outside of the game Nadine and the other had a relationship).

I have one gay friend who would quality as "flaming." You can tell the second he opens his mouth that he's the stereotypical gay. But I do know some others and none of them act in any way that would suggest it, if you didn't know they were dating someone of the same sex. I am glad I've gotten away from the stereotype of how gay people "act" for most characters, but the shoehorning of their sexuality into situations that don't need it is harmful to the story and worse, feels like pandering.

Even worse, it is against the idea that gay people are regular people. If you have to shoehorn and shove in the face then you are losing your point even before starting.
