Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion. For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. | ||

The simple answer is: No, there is not. If there are any other LGBT pro's, they are not public because A) they likely dont want to deal with the publicity(trolls, etc) and B) because Korean culture views it very...negatively, and the possibility that it would be a hindrance to a pro gamer who wants to live in the country for a while. | ||

In the fighting game scene, we have Ricky Ortiz, Kayo Satoh, and Karaface. And when it comes to transgender issues, a rather progressive place like TL, a place more tolerant than the fighting game community can be a bit bigoted. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=149558¤tpage=2 The issue was not about sexual identity crisis, but rather, it was would you bang her? This happens every single time when a pretty transgender woman appears. And as of now, I am watching a Australian/Japanese LGBT film called Academy which I know nothing about except from Wikipedia. I really hope it is good. | ||

As Grav said, no there is no openly out there LGBT other than Scarlett. Also Husky has a girlfriend, could be a rouse, but from my understandin' its not. Wishful thinkin' never killed anyone, but don't try and turn it into a reality, that's when the issues arise. | ||
