THE BT GAY CHARACTERS IN MASTREAM VIO GAM

Whether ’s for televisn or a feature film, ’s not easy to pull off a gay role as a straight actor. Hilary Swank, “Boys Don’t Cry” (while Swank’s character Brandon Teena was transgenr, not gay, the role was inic for many gays and lbians).

Borrlands 2 has a few gay/bi characters, cludg Sir Hammerlock (who is gay) and Mad Moxxxi (who is bi) but I like the way the game snuck a few l to show that Ty Ta is actually gay herself.

But aga, early on we ran to this problem where many characters were only gay/bi if you wanted them to be.

That changed by Mass Effect 3 when the game started troducg characters that were permanently straight or permanently gay, no matter the genr/preferenc of your Shepard. As a male Shepard, you n romance him, and that plotle lead to the famo “Mass Effect Gay Sex Scene” which was more or ls shirtls cuddlg. I will apologize for not playg more Dragon Age, as I know there are a number of gay characters I uld clu here.
