Your favore vio game characters are the closet, and we're openg the 's face , there aren't a lot of openly gay characters vio gam. Sure, there is a smatterg of stereotypil gays urty of Japan's refal to enter the 21st century, but overall 's hard to fd anythg for gay gamers to get exced over. I'm lookg to all the mored, joked about, and all but nfirmed "gay" characters vio gam, and I'm gog to ci, once and for all, whether they are, fact, queer.

If you're gog to make your anchise's tular hero gay, you're gog to do right, and this is wrong (on so many levels).
Verdict:+Fake+(unfortunately) As much as I'd like to say Turok is a mascule, badass, totally gay vio game hero, the evince pots to this beg the storyboard equivalent of a "no homo" joke. However I'm certaly not gog to stop any of you om adoptg him as the new gay gamg mast, 'e that'd be hilar. In fact, I thk we ought to make Yoshi the gay gamg poster dosr.

Where do the "Yoshida is gay" thg e om?
