Two Apex Legends characters are LGBTQ, say EA and Respawn

APEX LEGENDS is already making waves in the battle royale genre and it’s
also proving to be ahead of the game when it comes to LGBTQ representation,
too. Both EA and Respawn has confirmed that there are two APEX LEGENDS LGBTQ
CHARACTERS, amounting to a quarter of the current roster. These LGBTQ
Legends, to give them their in-game titles, are part of the game’s
forward-thinking approach to the representation of minority and marginalized
groups.

EA’s official bio page for the Legends specifically notes the sexuality of
Gibraltar, one of eight characters you can play as in Respawn’s
just-released battle royale. He is revealed to have once gone on a joyride
with when he and “his boyfriend stole his father’s motorcycle,” making him
an openly gay or bisexual protagonist a launch, a rarity in the medium.

The LGBTQ representation doesn’t stop there. As revealed by Jay Frechette,
community manager at Respawn, during an interview with RPS is the fact that
there is a second Apex Legends LGBTQ character, with Frechette confirming to
reporter Nic Rueben that, “Bloodhound is non-binary, or at least
non-specified, in terms of gender.”

In fact, the entirety of the Apex Legends roster is a refreshingly diverse
group. Along with the two aforementioned LGBTQ characters are three women,
two of whom are black. It is perhaps worth noting that Caustic (a white male)
is locked behind over a dozen hours of grinding through gameplay, or
available at the cost of $7.99. Considering the majority of games tend to
feature white male protagonists, Respawn has certainly opted for a change of
pace in this regard.

Of course, others have also made strides in recent months when it comes to
revealing LGBTQ characters. Blizzard announced via a comic back in January
that Overwatch hero Soldier 76 is gay.

With the lack of brouhaha surrounding these two reveals in particular at
launch, this may be indicative of the idea that positive LGBTQ representation
(and the lack of vitriolic abuse) can become the new normal in battle
royales, gaming, and the world beyond.

EA放出的官方消息。

Gibraltar 是Gay，有男朋友。

還有另一位Bloodhound說是非二元性向的角色。

然後還有提到本作十分的政治正確......(下略)

順路提一下，LGBT大家都知道是女同性戀者（Lesbian）、男同性戀者（Gay）、雙性戀者
（Bisexual）與跨性別者（Transgender），再加上Q是指 酷兒 (Queer) 和性別認同疑
惑者 (Questioning)。

美國鄉民對這消息的反應大都是：「哦！這很重要嗎？」

業界自清持續中......
