“‘If you’re a girl who likes girls who likes games, you’ve found your place on the internet.”
This is exactly what the gaming world needed. Seriously. The amazing women of Thumb Bandits–which you’ll hopefully remember as the female-run, lesbian-friendly game site–have started up a new blog, LesbianGamers.com. Can you guess what their slogan is?
Tracy Whitlaw, who’s in charge of the girl-on-girl PR, explains, “It’s time for us to have a full on lesbian site. We’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of support from lesbians at Thumb Bandits.com and now we’re giving them lesbians who game their own space.” Hip hip hooray.
The blog is already sporting posts about potential lesbian action in Beyond Good and Evil, Battlestar Galactica, and of course Portal. It’s also got an adorable crush post about Kristen Bell. I anticipate much future happiness in the form of insightful analysis, feminism, and tales of all the lovely video game characters we girls have ever had the hots for…
