''There is a history of GLBT characters appearing in video games, but it's few and far between. Assuming that we continue to develop games that either allow the player to choose their own sexuality or feature GLBT characters as a 'normal' integral part of the plot or story, this will hopefully lead to more developers adding these characters in.''

''You can do whatever you want. If you want to marry a guy, you can marry a guy. If you want to be as gay as you want to be, you can be as gay as you want to be. I married two guys.... If you are gay and own an XBox -- If you are gay and love video games, buy an XBox 360 because this game is worth it.''
