Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers. It is now, short of finding them and handing them food, impossible to pay the last group of artists i was giving money to, because the mechanisms of payment have decided they cannot be paid.

But I still want the stuff they've made, their back catalogues, etc.

I don't mind these themes in my media but I don't understand why it's a genre? Straight isn't a genre and none of this should be treated any different.

Yeah, would be cool if it were just a thing that happened in x % of stories, but it's not. Our stories and experiences are culturally firewalled from the straights, to some extent.

So have a gay, bi or trans love story in a book, movie, TV show or video game the same as you would a straight one. Don’t announce it to the world as a genre because it’s not. Normalize it don’t separate it. Have people experience it the same as any other love store.
