    This is a trailer for a documentary online about pushing to gain better LGBT representation in the gaming industry, and less targeted towards heterosexual males.

    Seems really interesting :slight_smile: I'm so glad that people are speaking out about these issues, there's a lot of people who think "LGBT people should stop asking to be included in everything, it's getting annoying" when the reality is we really aren't included in most things, and it's usually due to ignorance more so than homophobia. Not every consumer is heterosexual or homophobic. We've seen inequalities regarding gender and race go through the same transitions so I'm glad to see that these issues regarding LGBT people are being highlighted.
