The Most Fabulous Games Ever

Gay and LGBT themes have existed in games for at least twenty or so years. So, to celebrate marriage equality winning in America, I thought I'd compile a Top 5 of the most fabulous (i.e. gay/trans friendly) games of all time!

No. 5:  Persona 2:  Innocent Sin - gives you the option of actually declaring your love for another guy, PLUS the other characters are super supportive!

No. 4:  Dragon Age:  Origins - includes various characters who can be romanced by the someone of the same gender, including my personal husbando, Alistair. <3 <3

No. 3:  Shin Megami Tensei:  Persona 4 - includes a guy who is at the very least bi-curious and also loves knitting and crafting, plus a girl who indulges in crossdressing. Oh, and a crossdressing competition. I present Marilyn Monroe (Drag Version Deluxe)!

No. 2:  Jade Empire - not only does this have two bi characters and one gay character, it also lets you have a ménage à trois with them, ooh la la!

No. 1:  Dys4ia - takes the top position because it is a deeply personal autobiographical interactive experience based on Anna Anthropy's struggles with transitioning to another gender. You owe it to yourself to play through this game, if only to develop a deeper sense of empathy with transgender people and the issues they face.
