Surprised that nobody mentioned her. Oh yeah, and I might as well post this before Wright comes...



We talking confirmed, or hinted at. Because there are are a surprising amount of Pokemon characters with hints they are LGBT. For example in B2W2 Elsa mentions wanting to go to a store owned by a 'dazzling cute girl' while Marlon seeks one owned by a 'very energetic man', while SM's Hapu mentions being distracted by Lillie's 'loveliness'.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

According to the developers it is up for interpretation (for the reasons that people wouldn't be able to relate) but in their own opinions, he's gay

Saying that it's left for interpritation is a pretty standard reply in these situations. And this is true for every character. Yosuke may find out later that he also likes guys for all we know.
And it's not "their" colective opinion. Nich Maragos, Atlus USA's Persona 4 Editor, who swayed more towards Kanji being gay.

But when talking about the game itself, it didn't suggest he was LGBT.

Every single Shadow only became a Persona after the person accepted the feelings portrayed by their shadow. However, Kanji said "It ain't a matter of guys or chicks. I'm just scared shitless of being rejected."
His Shadow would not accept him if he denied the truth.
The reason his Shadow appeared this way can be speculated, but most likely it was a combination of how other people treated him due to his feminine hobbies, and because he seemingly "felt something" towards Naoto, who he at the time thought was a guy, which made him more confused about his own feelings.


You can say it's open ended the same way any character's sexuality is. But I don't think anything in P4 suggested he was LGBT.

True.

I based my statements of what I've read and to me, the gamasutra article basically spells it out but I ignored what was presented in the game. It has clues pointing in more directions than just straight tho. 

I also put partial blame on Extra Credits for cementing it with a video basically staying that there was no doubt him being gay. In any case, his story makes sense whether he is gay or not. You are not wrong tho.

Hi everybody, i am from Russia and i am gay (yes, i am not afraid of saying this, even though being homosexual is very dangerous in Russia)

As the title says, i propose to discuss our favorites video game LGBT characters and how it affected our attitude towards them.

ps: sorry for my bad english

Your English is better than most English-born speakers. No need to apologize.

Don't recall knowing many gay characters in videos games. But I guess many of the cast crew/team in bioware games (Mass Effect, Dragon Age) can be gay.

This. My favorite parts about Fable, Skyrim, Ass Effect and Dragon Age etc' was the option to engage in Same-sex relationships.

Going to have to put my vote to Dorian Pavus though, from Dragon Age: Inquisition. He was sassy, extremely gay. And had a fine stache'.

My vote for the gayest game goes to Muscle March... *Shudders*
