Have you considered just focussing on games with well written characters, stories and gameplay?

Life is a whole lot better when you stop caring about superfluous, immutable characteristics that have no reflection a person's character or ability.

They probably meant genderqueer.

Come on everybody, don't be pricks. the Q in LGBTQ stays for Queer, so...

Anyway. I can think only of the Red Strings Club among those which have not been mentioned yet (or they have been and I missed :P).

EDIT: in any case, to the OP - posting something like this on the GOG forums is suicide. You know how people tend to be around here. I'm not a sympathizer of any faction or political/social creed, but that doesn't prevent me from condemning every kind of attack.

Why is belief in a concept a prerequisite for you to experience a piece of media?
I don't believe in wizards or dragons or time travel (beyond 1s/s) or zombies or uploading consciousness into the cloud, but that doesn't stop me from experiencing media which involves those themes and concepts.

the problem is DRM free, there are several such games on Steam, there is even a LGBQT tag there to seach for them easiliy. I also know that itchi.io have many LGBQT games, but it is a pain searching for them there, and I can not be bothered.

edit - also giggled about "I've never heard of those games, so they can't be important", thank you. it was the best laughter I had today

I don't want to go too much into details (don't want to get perma-banned), but I think promotion of transgenderism as something positive can be harmful, since it might persuade some people who are easily influenced to make choices that are irreversible (drastic surgeries like mastectomies) and which they later regret. With current technology it's just not possible to really change your biological sex. I find pretending otherwise unethical.
And in this regard transgenderism is very different from homosexuality imo.

come to think about it, both Gone Home and Tacoma should be mentioned here, and both are on gOg

same reason i dont talk about it , dont get yourself banned :)

Fair enough.

To answer the OP's question:

DRM-free available games that are LGBTQ+ friendly (that are supposedly not bad) that you have not already mentioned:
Aerannis - Platformer
Demonheart: Hunters - Based off a VN, but an RPG. Maybe not the sort of RPG you care for (the mechanics seem less focused on combat and more on conversation)
Anodyne 2
Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor
Calico

these look so bad

Monster Prom and sequel, here on GOG.
I didn't think of it as a "scripted game" because I played it with two friends, it's "who gets more dates wins" so I think the gameplay is fun and compelling as a "society game" and not so scripted in regards that your friends/adversaries moves are unexpected. But it has visual novel elements so maybe you wouldn't like it as a solo game.

I think its a very easy thing to say when you are part of the majority that is getting catered to.

However, if you'd like to put yourself in someone else's shoes, assuming you are a straight Caucasian male, assume that every single game you play, every single movie you watch and every single book you read has a main cast that consist solely of lesbian Asian females.

At some point, you might end up wondering why you are not represented an overwhelming majority of the time and end up yearning for content where you are represented.

Its a legitimate human desire and I think denying someone else that is at best a little insensitive.

So, was there actually anything in Celeste that was queer other than the developer saying so? I played through the game and didn't encounter much, although I didn't do that final optional dungeon?

Anyhow, some games on GOG:

Funny that nobody mentioned it so far, but definitely Undertale. It's a game were you never really find out the gender of the main character and it somehow is not strange at all.

Stardewvalley apparently lets you romance whoever independent of gender.

The prominent antagonist in A Hat in Time is "mustache girl".

Wizards, zombies, and dragons are obviously fictional to any sane person. There are people who profess belief in wizards (e.g. fundamentalist Christians), but they don't really believe in wizards. In civilized countries, there are no laws which allow wizard-hunters to kill wizards, and no one (not even fundamentalist Christians) is campaigning for such laws.

Gender identity is likewise a completely fictional (bullshit) concept. However, it's presented as real in the media, and many people "learn" it by osmosis, and start believing in it. This belief has been enshrined into law in many countries and became a de facto prerequisite for holding political office or, in some cases, holding a private sector job or finishing school. Therefore, producing such content is irresponsible and borderline evil.

No, You Can't Separate Fact from Fiction

There are government media watchdogs and self-regulating media organizations which oppose harmful fictional content that can put children in danger. If you made a cartoon about children fucking with the wiring and opening a portal to another world, they'd tell you to edit it. Disney recently edited a scene in the movie Lilo and Stitch in which Lilo hides in a dryer, out of concern that children try to imitate it and hide in a dryer. While I think Disney only did it our of fear of lawsuits, the concern is real and not unfounded. It's why ads have "These stunts are performed by trained professionals, don't try this at home" and "professional driver, closed course" for adults.

Now, I don't think clearly fantastical concepts should be regulated. Children who are young enough to believe in wizards hold many other stupid beliefs and need to be watched by adults regardless of whether they plan to drink all the magical potions in the cupboard.

The public is not well-informed about gender identity. Many people don't know it's bullshit. Many people believe in gendered brains. Many people think surgical castration is a prerequisite for being officially transgender and getting fake papers -- it's not true throughout the Western world. Many people think transgenders are gay (they're majority straight), look like the opposite sex in real life (no) and therefore seamlessly blend and belong with the opposite sex (no). Many people think chemical castration and a drastically shortened lifespan is better for their children than being unpopular in high school.

The gender identity lobby in the US is represented by Democrats, who'll be shortly holding office and are supported by roughly 50% of the voters. Imagine if performing driving stunts on public roads became legal and was practiced by 50% of drivers.

Imagine your surgeon learned surgery by playing Operation. Not cool, right? And yet, similar qualifications are held by parents and education workers, who then proceed to fuck up the children in their care.

Or put it that way: would a book in which evil Jews drank the blood of innocent Christian babies be "ok" because "everyone" understood it was fiction?

TL;DR I wish this craze fades and we can once again fap to Ranma in peace.
