Marriage Equality in Gaming

Video Games

This week on the show, it’s all about YES on JOY 94.9! As we gear up for a very important vote for marriage equality, we decided that this is the perfect time to discuss the importance of marriage equality in video games! The team look through gaming history at the titles that showed us the most love by including Marriage Equality over the years!

Join Archer, Cam and Sav as they talk about about the history of games featuring equality (including the ones that SHOULD have had marriage equality or did it poorly), how it was implemented, it’s impact and queer relationships in games moving forward.

Also on this episode, Rachel gets her inner revhead on with her review of Forza Motorsport 7 while Jen challenges herself in a big way in her review of Total War: WARHAMMER 2!  Don’t miss any of the action – and don’t forget to send your vote back with a big YES!!

For all the latest updates as always, head to our official website at checkpointgaming.net.
