Our Favourite Queer Characters in Gaming: A Pride Month Celebration

To round off Pride Month, Davey and Mitch get personal with an episode close to both their hearts: their favourite queer characters in gaming. From the ones that helped them figure themselves out to the queer-coded icons hiding in plain sight, this is a warm, funny, and genuinely reflective celebration of LGBTQIA+ representation in games. Characters we celebrate:Dorian, Sera and Krem from Dragon Age: InquisitionEllie from The Last of UsTyler Ronan from Tell Me Why, gaming's first trans protagonist from a major studioVivian from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year DoorZagreus and Melinoë from HadesJudy Alvarez (Cyberpunk 2077), Steve Cortez and Kaidan Alenko (Mass Effect)Queer-coded legends: Sander Cohen, Birdo, Sheik, Bayonetta and a very flamboyant corner of PokémonPlus a deep cut: Caper in the Castro, possibly the first ever LGBTQ video game (1989)It's Pride Month, queerness is under attack in parts of the world, and talking about queer people out and proud will always be a revolution. We're queer, and we're not going anywhere.
