A gay and lesbian agenda in GTA IV? Seems some people think so. GTA IV does feature some prominent gay and lesbian storylines and characters, but to suggest there is an agenda by Rockstar to in some way 'promote' homosexuality is ridiculous.
We take a look at one such assertion over at 1Up and come to the conclusion Rockstar may well be pushing an agenda, but not a gay one. You can read the full article we've written to discuss the phenomenon of allegedly pushing a gay agenda in GTA IV at 'GTA IV Pushing a Gay Agenda'. As always your thoughts are welcome.
So, they make the game *more* reflective of the real world, and thus they have an agenda... ridiculous.
Some people have entirely too much time on their hands...or they are freaked out by how much they enjoy gay aspects of the game, sounds like!
I haven't played any of the GTA franchise before...
I usually stick to quieter things like the Sims or Railroad Tycoon...but it's sounding more interesting to me now!

I always seem to question people who make statements like that. The thread starter is obviously so caught up in homophobia that all he can see is the gay agenda, failing to really see what it is, realism.

Probably correct. Or could be a troll.
Either way I wonder if all the homophobes and racists and bigots of other stripes will move away if Obama is elected?
More likely they'll just stay and complain that the blacks are part of a secret cabal to keep whites down.
