My oldest and gayest friend, Graeme, is back! Graeme is a gay man and he previously joined me in Episode 2 (which you should definitely go back and check out)!
In the first chunk, it’s just me as I cover games I’ve been playing and the not-so-great news about Bioware this week.
Graeme pops in for the second chunk, and he and I talk about how video games helped us explore our sexuality and gender (respectively) before we came out of the closet.
Our conversation hits a lot of interesting points, including how non-queer video games can offer queer ideas through “otherness," how they can help you take steps to come out, and even help you discover the kind of queer person you want to be.
We also discuss how the closet restricted our interests and hobbies, which included video games.
