Queer Code Scotland - Evil Army: Queer Representation in Games
Details
Most people are familiar with Queer theory and how it explores the representation of queer characters in movies but video games have an equally complex, fascinating and, at times, surprising relationship with characters who don't fit into straight archetypes.
Dan Bernardo, an Anthropologist and Game Director, explores the history of queer representation in video games, its evolution and how current events are reshaping the view and attitudes of straight gamers and game developers towards LGBTQ+ and queer characters.

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, physical appearance, body size, technical choices, level of technical knowledge, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion (or lack thereof) and other personal conditions and choices.
