Unlike the straight relatnships Fable, which often feel like they’re g om the heart, gay romanc appear to be viewed om a farcil perspective. I suppose when society self wasn’t acceptg of gay marriage upon the game’s ial arrival, a rpectful portrayal of such ncepts weren’t on the mds of a velopment team who were tryg to create a world that felt both fahful and fantastil.

Ltle Bra was still airg at the time, which is a pafully bigoted show that openly mocks gay men, transgenr women, and pretty much everyone who wasn’t a whe guy. Though Ltle Bra stars and wrers Matt Lus is gay and David Walliams, though he often keeps his private life away om public view, has discsed havg relatnships wh men, the jok feel like punchg down rather than wkg at stereotyp as cuttg satire.
