my vote goes to Hana and Rain (IIRC the names), the girls from Fear Effect 2
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Status : Offline | One of the police officers from The Longest Journey remarked that he was a homosexual, but there was nothing sterotypical about him at all, even though he was meant to be a humorous character for his comment.
Also, a woman from the same game was a homosexual, but she was much more open and sometimes talked a good deal and revealed a lot more than the player would have liked to know about her sex life. But at least she never goes too far...

| Deleted User | There has been speculation that the Baron in Gabriel Knight 2 was gay. I have read this in several places but haven't a clue if Jane and troops wrote him that way or not. He was very old-world and elegant. Perhaps that is why some people guessed that he was gay.
Other than that I can't think of another character that is or might be gay.
My personal opinion is that straight or gay - is fine with me.

I don't think he was gay (why'd he have this pretty young lady with him at the theater?).
But there was another man in the GK2 hunting club who was almost certainly gay (Herr Preiss I think it was).

Yep. Often you wouldn't even know - it's not like most games spend a lot of time on the characters' sexual orientation

Which is interesting. Another board I go to had a couple of people upset with the language in the first few chapters but never made a comment on the Landlady.
I, on the other hand, didn't think about the swearing or the sexuality at all, just happily enjoyed the game.

Can you elaborate please? I must have missed it.
Can you also please explain why von Glower had that sexy blonde if he was gay?

That's a possibility.

Don't forget she was with von Glower in the theatre. And I didn't get the impression she was exclusively for Gabe.

the homo-erotic undertones he had towards Gabriel reminded me very much of characters from Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles (speaking of which, I'd loooovvveee a game based on those! the possibilities...)

Status : Online | Not too surprisingly, in the novelisations of GK1 and 2, Jane does accentuate both sides of the sexual overtones, and keeps both on a very subtle even keel. It's quite unique to read in such a manner.
How about characters in older games?

Could you prove that the blondie was a woman?
To me should be a transvestite!

Ya. I know. Being a transvestite doesn't mean one's gay, but these queens were falling all over themselves to get to a hunk of a thug. You spend quite a bit of time with them; it's a greatly enjoyable and thoroughly amusing segment of the game.

Ok I tend to remember female homosexuals more..
A few years ago, there was a guy (?) in the adventure newsgroup who started a crusade to persuade people that Gabriel Knight was gay and that he should dump Grace.
Anyway, what was I saying? More lesbians in adventure games please!
