Is destiny gay

Steven Kenneth Bonnell II (born December 12, ), known online as Destiny, is an American live streamer and political commentator. He was among the first people to stream video games online full-time. [5]. But before I remake my list of Destiny Villains (IN MY OWN WORDS FOR ONCE), I decided to write down a list of all of the characters in the entire Destiny series that have been officially proven to be LGBTQ.

Let's begin. Identity: Lesbian. Relationship: Wei Ning (Girlfriend (deceased)). Subscribed 53K views 2 years ago Destiny says he tried it one day, enjoyed it, and here we are now. more. When fans looked a little closer, they could see what Bungie was doing, confirming the sexuality and gender identities of five different characters by using colors from different LGBTQIA+ flags as. This got me thinking about how well Destiny/Bungie handles LGBT representation, having gay men as Saint x Osiris and Devrim with his husband; have lesbian characecters like Ana, Eramis x Arthrys, Mara and Sjur, Maya Sundaresh and her wife; trans characters such as Micah AND Oryx; and countless other examples that i can't fit in a paragraph.

After a lot of suspicion and hints, Bungie has confirmed that two Guardians in Destiny 2 are in fact gay and in love. The topic has surprisingly been around for a while among fans as there was much discussion as to whether or not Saint and Osiris actually were gay or were just being portrayed in a different way.

So yes, Saint and Osiris are gay. Always have been. Does this really change anything for the game? Gameplay-wise, no. However, it puts in some added context and some LGBTQ representation, it does enrich the narrative experience as it builds these two characters up, and adds depth to the story we've seen so far from the Guardians. There are, of course, people on social media ranting and raving about it because they don't like it, but that's pretty much to be expected as homophobia still exists in gaming, and there are always people accusing the industry of everything under the sun to get more players.

But the fact it's been in the game for over three years as if it were natural for the characters without Bungie making a big deal about for the sake of PR has to be reaffirming for some LGBTQ players.
