Society has slowly but surely begun to catch up on homosexuality, and most people have learned to accept it as part of culture. MTV ran an article on the topic and it was revealed that both the homosexual gaming community and big game developers are realizing the value of freedom of choice in games, and have taken bold steps forward to make gaming an even more accurate simulation of real life.

Take for instance Will Wright's The Sims franchise. The game is hardly a simulation that will have your blood pumping, but it's one of the biggest-selling titles of all time because practically everyone from every race and gender can relate to it. Players are given just about every choice imaginable (at that time) and even housewives found themselves playing for hours on end. "Programming greater freedom of choice into games could be just as important to the future of game development as technical innovation," explains Wright.

In the same Manner, GayGamer.net founder Flynn DeMarco appreciates the freedom that the ever-controversial boys at Rockstar games incorporated into their PS2 title Bully. "The interesting thing about 'Bully' is you've got the choice," DeMarco says. He said the fact that you have the freedom to kiss boys as well as girls in the game makes everything much more realistic. Like in The Sims, you have the prerogative as to what gender preference your character has to reflect who you are in real life.
