That’s Gay: Video Games Are Gay

Posted on June 11, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The video game world hasn't always been gay-inclusive. In Nintendo games like “Contra,” “Mike Tyson's Punch-Out,” “Ring King” and “Streets of Rage 3,” you'd have to rely on gay innuendo. But in this week's That's Gay, Bryan Safi finds that gaming has gotten much gayer. “The Sims,” “Fable,” “Dragon Age,” “Bully,” and “Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony” are all games that let you go gay for play. That's Gay is a recurring segment on the weekly television show infoMania. In each episode of That's Gay, Bryan Safi explores gay issues and stereotypes as they are portrayed by the clueless media.
