Dude, your entire post reads of cringe. The characters were always gay - the only thing the episode did was give them a much more cohesive, nuanced and realistically emotional backstory.

The only people who think that "everything is being made gay" are the people who aren't comfortable enough in their world view to be able to accept the fact that not everyone looks, acts or lives like them.

Spoiler alert: if you think this episode was gay, wait til you see season 2.

While I certainly don’t think it makes the show/game worse… having played both games, it’s not untrue that gay/queer folks are overrepresented in TLOU. Considering they are generally less than 10% of the population.

But given that historically, gays have been underrepresented in media, this might be a good thing.

In the second game especially though, there is a sense of “wait, he/she is also gay?”
