Taking all bets! Which characters are LGBT and which are heterosexual?

It doesn't matter for survivors either, just FYI.

Gonna bet Wraith & Nurse are gonna be made straight cause cosmetics.
Other than that: 🤷♂️

Does nobody read the lore? Nurse had a husband, it's plainly written right there.

I've read her lore once in 2016.

I'm honestly shocked they haven't milked the sexy female skin market yet. Games like Summoners War get at least half of their income from those skins is2g.
Bikini Jane would definitely be the thiccest thing in DbD. Beyond thicc and the limitations of swimwear currently known to mankind. But if we get some beach dude skins I'd be down. Like BHVR take my money already.

Dwight is gay, probably has "no fats no femmes" on his grindr though.
Ace is pan, he's a hedonist, he dosn't care whats between your legs, only what's in your soul.
David is closeted gay, probably made homophobic jokes up until 2017 or so, is starting to feel more comfortable.
Jokes aside, idk how i feel about this, not because it's not a good idea, and going forward I think its a great thing to give representation, but I know a lot of people that have put a lot of themselves in these characters, in art and everything else, and see them a certain way, thats important to some people, I know at least two people, one who see's Jane as Trans, and one who see's her as a cis lesbian- either way one of them will disappoined. mabye it is better to leave the existing ones to peoples own interpretations.

Dwight's got those gay vibes tho
2 -
nobody cares, only feminists and social justice warriors
but, I will only continue playing, many of us don't care about their sexual orientation
1 -
Not sure what "gay vibes" are, but he's most likely straight, just a shy person in general.
3 -
Given her outfit, I think she predates the invention of the airplane. I don't see how that's physically possible.
1 -
I see Ace as gay and Nea as lesbian. Spirit might also be lesbian or asexual, I think she might hate men after what her father did to her.
2 -
I wish. I'd take that nerdy twink and be appeased for quite a while.
It was just an example of the possibilities. But if you're hung up on the plane, then maybe it was their neighboor or another nurse at the hospital.
2 -
Hmm, my guess would be Jake, and I don't know why, but I think that of all male survivors to be homosexual it would be Jake. I can see how Nea is lesbian but I have no evidence to support this, but they are guesses.
1 -
Yui and Zarina definitely ping my gaydar a bit. I feel like Dwight is bi, Claudette is asexual, and Jeff is another question mark.
I don’t care about the killers. They’re murderers and weird paranormal beings and such so I’m not sure anyone of any sexuality wants representation from them, tbh.
1 -
How dare you try to discuss possibilities in my thread about possibilities? The Entity will smite you for this offense!
In all seriousness, I just don't see it. She had no time to herself after her husband died, and there's no indication she was unfaithful.
1 -
i hope some characters define themself as apache helicopters... srsly, if this nonsense is worth the devs time i lose all hope for dbd
0 -
That's true. I don't really see Nurse with someone else tbh, the valentines cosmetics they did with her and Wraith is probably all she'll ever need in terms of romance related stuff.
0 -
True, but even less for killers i feel.
For survivors knowing what kind of person they are is fun
For killers I'd rather it focused how they became what they are now
Just my 2cents on it though
2 -
Fair enough.
0 -
I'd guess Nea is bi, Yui is lesbian, Frank is bi, Joey probably gay, as well as David, Danny is bi, Philip straight.
Can't even explain why, it's just what I think. :)
1 -
I call it now Steve Harrington is gay for Billy Hargrove 😳😳😳
1 -
What I think is
Dwight is a bi king
Meg is straight
Claudette is Asexual
Jake is straight
Nea is Straight
Ace is Ace
Feng is bi
David is bi
Kate is bi
Adam is gay
Jeff is straight
Jane is bi curious
Yui is straight
Zarina is pan
Thats the vibe i get from all of them
3 -
So is doctor and the wraith
0 -
Meg is lesbian.
Huntress is asexual.
Ace is gay.
Nea is bisexual.
2 -
Way too many bisexuals (and non-heterosexuals on the whole) on that list. Why do you think that, if you don't mind my asking?
3 -
I feel like from a lore perspective it would make sense cause, doesn’t the entity take people based on their emotions of something? So wouldn’t a gay person be more likely to feel oppressed.
But then again I do realise That yeah I went a bit ham with the bi sexuality. And like i think it’s cause none of them have actual in depth lore i think they’re bi.
Also i feel like it just kinda fits their characters. They give me bi vibes I dunno.
1 -

David is definitely straight. He just seems like he would definitely attract all the ladies and flirt with them.
Adam seems like he would be gay. I don't know I just get that vibe.
Nea and Meg scream lesbian to me, Yui bisexual, Dwight bisexual, Claudette asexual.
The rest straight for me.
2 -
I did some skim reading, and I can tell none of you are women loves women! Claudette is such a les, or at least bisexual. She's a plant freak. That's like, our jam. /s
Nea is a butch for sure, or maybe asexual.
I liked what someone said about Kate just switching teams. Like a bisexual Taylor Swift. She writes songs about whoever she was "in love with" last.
Zarina gives me the biggest queer energy of all.
I'll say David is gay just because I know the fellas are the thirstiest ones of the bunch for him.

Ghost Face is Gender-Fluid Non-Binary Pansexual. Heeeeey~

david because he has daddy issues

I hope they make David bisexual to challenge gay stereotypes. I’ve seen too many people saying he can’t be into dudes because he’s too masculine 😒
2 -
I hope they make someone bisexual just to show that they acknowledge our existence. To this day, only one person I've spoken with didn't automatically assume I was gay when I mentioned I had a boyfriend. I get it, bisexuality is rare, but a simple "Or are you bisexual?", even as an afterthought, would really be appreciated.
2 -
I doubt it for one reason, which is the description of the lover boy jacket from the Tomcat set.
"For the classy gentleman, his cigar, and his stack of betting chips.
This one is for the ladies."
This doesn't necessarily prove it however, and I wouldn't be suprised if he was bisexual.
2 -
Instinctually, I would definitely say Adam feels gay to me. And as the new chapter is upon us I'd also like to say I've always thought of Cheryl Mason as lesbian even when Silent Hill 3 was released.
The others I haven't really given any thought about.
2 -
Yes agreed, and especially for male characters. I’ve heard too many people say that bi guys are just gay guys still halfway in the closet and it makes my blood boil.
5 -
I think it just stems from it not being as common. Being LGBT already makes up about 5% of the population (from what I've heard).
I personally don't see David as bisexual or gay. He seems like a straight gay, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Yes he's butch and tough, but that doesn't really mean Meg is a lesbian or bi for being the same way either if that makes sense.
My own boyfriend is completely masculine, you'd never be able to tell he was gay. I'm the exact opposite, I'm pretty feminine and most people can tell right away. However, from my experience, a good chunk of over 50% I would say (I haven't done research, that's just my observation) of gay or bisexual men posses some feminine qualities. Not all of course, but it seems few and far between.
From my observation, David seems like the most masculine you can get out of our male roster, while it's entirely possible for him to be bi, based on all my previous information I just assume he's straight. The devs could surprise us though. However, seeing as the fact that his tome is already passed, it'll likely be a long while before we get more David lore.
Yui on the other hand, she seems like the perfect candidate to be bisexual. She has her feminine qualities but also participates and in and enjoys what is a mostly male-oriented sport. Perhaps that's even more of a stereotype. I just think she'd be a really good icon or representation of that group.
TLDR - Stereotypes aren't as bad as people make them out to be. The more the characters is like themselves, the more attached to them they will be. But anything is possible, however it is unlikely we'll get more lore for our previous characters until all the rest have gone through their tomes.
1 -
My guess is theyll make Adam gay for sure. I will still play him, I like Adam as survivor.
2 -
Bisexuality is not rare, of LGBT it is the larger of all the groups. Majority of people who identify as LGBT consider them,selves bisexual. True homosexuals and lesbians are more rare.
There are also studies that show all humans are bisexual, but I wont go there.
1 -
I really hope David is 100% gay. i don't mind if he's bisexual but it would be so much better for him to be fully gay to go against steriotypes. You never see masculine men who are attracted to other guys in the media and whenever there is there's always some unnecessary catch to it...
To keep it consistant with his lore, he would have prabably been in the closet until he left his parent's home, it makes sense to me.
2 -
I just don't believe that was the devs intention when they wrote his lore. Of course I could be wrong, but from my perspective, when they were writing David's lore, they didn't create an ex girlfriend with the intention that David was closeted, especially as there isn't anything that eludes to that in the rest of his lore, or the fact that he isn't true to himself.
What I took from their representation tweet, is that they were sorry for not being inclusive up to this point, planning to make future characters lores break the stigma. Essentially confirming that up until now, they had written David, Dwight, Frank, Julie, and Sally as heterosexual.
I don't believe they want to go back and change those aspects of those characters, but rather be more inclusive to future ones, if that makes sense.
Of course I could be entirely wrong and they could write David that way, but seeing as his tome is already over, it'll be quite a while before we get more David lore, as they likely want to finish the rest of the characters before expanding on older ones.
0 -
Make them all gay for my pleasure please :)
1 -
Even though his tome story is over, it's still possible for him to get more lore, in one of the entries for the other logs, it describes the times when David worked as a debt collector. So i think it's still possible for him to get more lore, just through other log entries.
3 -
You're correct. I'm saying they likely won't make more log entries for David until they're finished with the rest of the characters that haven't gotten any yet.

Honestly that's the one annoying thing about being bisexual. Either we don't exist period or the second we get into a relationship that apparently removes our identity we're now either gay or straight
2 -
Cheryl is queer for someone by the name of 'Buttercake' we passed each other at an amusement park, once. Our eyes locked and we instantly felt like soulmates. 😍
1 -
Everyone knows that if you're eating a big hot dog, that automatically means you don't like any other kind of food.
2 -
The problem is a lot of people essentially treat bisexuality as a fork in the road.
The second you enter relationship or even if you just have a sexual encounter with somebody automatically now you've chosen the path of gay or straight.
Also people who are bisexual tend to get flack from both ends of the community we're not trusted by people in the LGBT community because for some stupid reason people assume that we are going to switch to hetero relationships when they want a family or something and people who aren't in the LGBT community it's usually just the same sigma of not wanting to be with somebody who's been with the same sex. ( which in itself isn't a problem but it is still annoying)
