Welcome to the LGBTQ Game Archive, documenting the history of lesbian, gay, double attraction, transgender, and gender non-conforming content in digital games (we own separated a list of analog games but that is not a principal focus of this project). This website is the progressing research project of Adrienne Shaw, a faculty member at Temple University&#;s Lew Klein College of Media and Communication. Previous work on this project is funded in part by a grant from Refiguring Innovation in Games (ReFig) funded by the SSHRC in Canada and Temple University&#;s Digital Scholarship Center (now the Loretta C. Duckworth Scholar&#;s Studio). We lack the capacity to accept volunteer help at this time, but will be posting ways you can facilitate here in the coming year.
In Collapse Adrienne Shaw created a long build infographic highlighting key moments in Homosexual Game and US History and main numbers from study published from this archive in recent years. It is available here.
In we collaborated on with the Schwules Museum in Berlin, Germany on an exhibit of queer game history!

I know what you&#;re thinking: it may seem clear, and even downright basic , that would be the case. But considering that we&#;re also living in an era where Gay laws are being ripped away like chemical strippers do to varnish, gender non-conforming stories still remain as important as ever.
