Still neurodivergent but no longer a minor </3
Tumblr media
It's my birthday!! The Big 18™️.
Honestly terrifying that I'm now legally an adult. I don't know how to feel about (writing this early so I'm not even an adult yet when typing but it's 10:30 PM so I'm pretty close). I'm kinda struggling on what to say because this is just so unreal for me still.
Since this is the big adult birthday I decided for the background I'd include just a lot of important things. There's some OCs, interests that have definitely changed me, important characters, and honestly I couldn't fit everything there was just so much I wanted to keep adding. My life's been shaped by soooo many things!!
Also I had like no idea for the background and redid it 3 times and then while fucking around I put 2 lesbian flags on top of each other and thought it was so pretty and then I added confetti and BOOM background!!
That's kinda all I have to say. Wooo 18 I guess!!

I'm reading a lot of things about Hidge's sexuality canon wise. So taking account on what Nick and Matt Lang said (as much as I remember it without rewatching the video proof lol) my argument on why the canon sexuality of Prof. Henry Hidgens is that he is bisexual and Objectumsexual.
Well I think canon wise he is not polyamorous. I can accept that (i have no problem with him being poly canon wise. I am not anti-poly, just faithful with canon) but I remember Nick Lang or even Matt did not specify it. They said, within along the lines/paraphrasing: Henry loves his six boy friends, they are special to him, but Chad IS the apple of his eye. The last sentence they meant romantically.
So why bisexual and not gay? To make it clear, I have no problem with him being gay. I'm willing to be corrected. But since I'm arguing that he's bisexual, well let me start. Of course we haven't seen Hidge talk about or falling in love with specific women characters in the saga so far, however he did say in TGWDLM " Alexa, I love you like every woman flesh and bone", so there ya go. If he can find a woman that is subordinate to him like Alexa and Siri, then he can have a relationship with a woman. Come to think of it, i think he loves Chad the most because I hypothesize Chad always goes along with his plans/ideas. Yes I believe if I were to analyze his relationship personality, he wants to be the dominant in the relationship. He's very controlling and spirals when he doesn't get his way. Which why this is a good segway to...
And with the mention of two famous AI virtual assistants, I think it's enough to say that Hidge has objectophilia. More so in NMT episode Time Bastard where he shared his sexual rendezvous with either one of them to Ted and implied how he did it (some imagination and a little elbow grease or any lube lol). Not to mention that he talks to Alexa and Siri like they're humans. Fun fact, I read somewhere that people who have this sexual orientation cant handle keeping a relationship with another human because they're too controlling hence having a relationship with an object is easier because it has no thoughts, no opinions to consider. Also, this can also be a result of a trauma. Him losing his friends, especially Chad, during a lightning strike attack did not just lead him to isolation and practicing survival instincts, but also drove him to loving objects instead cause at least they won't experience terrible human deaths.
Also further explanation:  ur friends can be ur life partners (hence there are old people living with friends in their twilight years) and some people like calling their friends as boyfriends or girlfriends. Hidge is just comfortable with his sexuality and closeness with his friends that he can call his male friends as his boyfriends. I think that's just Jeff's word play and humor going on as he wrote the song. And according to the song "it takes balls": Steve was a priest, Leighton was in a relationship with a person named Gary, and Greg was seeing/dating Steve's mom. Plus all of the boys, sans Chad and Henry, were attracted to females while at college based on their locker room talk acted by the Workin Girls cast.
I'm not like Unhidge Hidge, so tell me about ur thoughts/opinions/rebuttals as long as ur taking account of what I wrote here. Especially proof from the Langs with ur rebuttal. Of course in head canon or fan fic world, anything is free reins and you can experiment with Hidge's sexuality there. Just make sure to specify if it's canon or head canon so to avoid confusion and arguments.
Update:
I have the urge to check my HHP Working Boys screen recordings where Nick and Matt discussed Henry's relationship with the boys if it's poly or not. Update 2: Okay I watched it and Nick just says that Chad is his favorite so get out of that as you wish. But since the boys did their locker room talk about girls without Henry and Chad, I don't think the boys were making out with each other unless maybe just Henry and Chad if it's not unreciprocated from Henry's side.
I can understand if most fans think Henry is gay and not bi since Nick and Matt have not given more concrete proof of his attraction to human females. My only arguments with him being bi is that he loves and has done sexual acts with Alexa and Siri, AI virtual assistants with female names and voices. (NMT episode: Time Bastard).

I love Baffy, like I really do but to those who watched the looney tunes show and remember it, how can you throw Lola, incredibly weird probably autistic Lola, off to the side?
In all honesty all three characters had great chemistry (eventually) and you cannot tell me they don't belong together!
I mean I also love Tina and I can see some chemistry between her Daffy and Lola. Then there's also Porky's thing for Daffy-
Ya know what?
Polyamory, all of it is just Poly.

Here is all the LGBTQ+ representation in Valve games that I could find (Canon/implied/speculation). The mega list!! Feel free to comment any other canon/implied characters or information that I missed and I'll add it on!! Same with anything I got wrong. Just have sources or reasonings!!
Any sources are linked within the text, the words with links are underlined (there are no images so the post isn’t overly cluttered)!!  Many of these are subjective and some reasonings here are not 100% accurate but I'm trying to include as much possible representation as I can. Some are very silly!
I’ll occasionally update this with new ideas or findings, so feel free to come back and find the most updated version.
Spoiler warning for most Valve series ?
Portal
GLaDOS - bi, ace (canon)
GLaDOS is said to romantically like Chell in the Final Hours of Portal 2 (was originally supposed to accuse Chell of cheating on her with a core, Want You Gone is called a break up song, Chell and GLaDOS were supposed to sing a duet, they’re referred to as having a twisted dysfunctional romance), in interviews (in one before Portal 2 released, GLaDOS was called Chell's jealous ex girlfriend, Jonathan Coulton saying Want You Gone was a breakup song), implied in her songs ("even though you broke my heart and killed me" "I used to want you dead now I only want you gone"), and also her voice lines (reanimating the dead, being curious about Chell's behavior, forgiving her in Lego Dimensions, various things about the Companion Cube, etc). In Poker Night 2, she has a line possibly alluding to Chell, “I cheat all the time, but only with people I care about”. Not as canon but one of the former developers (sort of?) made a gay joke with her, where he reposted an image of a Half-Life crate being cut open to reveal a rainbow cake, he captioned it “GLaDOS’ secret”. For liking men, GLaDOS dates Claptrap in Poker Night 2. Jonathon Coulton, writer of GlaDOS’ songs, said about the Lego Dimensions Portal DLC that GLaDOS probably had feelings for Batman. Implying she’s asexual, GLaDOS has a cut line in the Cooperative Testing Initiative in which she says human reproduction is ridiculous (not as related but the “testing euphoria” probably relates more to an addiction than to sexual desire). For further explanation on ChellDOS evidence, humanwheatleyslefttoenail + Ossy Flawol’s posts on it were quite useful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZJuxvaG5nI / https://humanwheatleyslefttoenail.tumblr.com/post/640814755030908928/why-do-you-ship-chell-and-glados-if-glados-is. Here is another post I recall having good information too. https://sapphofinch.tumblr.com/post/691178346793533440/portal-1.
Caroline - bisexual, asexual (implied)
Caroline is bisexual/asexual as she is apart of GLaDOS/GLaDOS’ conscience was built off of her, and also the possibility Caroline could've dated Cave in her time at Aperture (The writers never clarified, just saying they were never married but there might be “more of a story there”). Caroline and Cave’s art for the Steam 20th anniversary was done over a meme of a couple.
Chell - sapphic (canon)
Chell was originally supposed to have a duet with GLaDOS in Portal 2, GLaDOS also getting called her ex girlfriend (as stated in the Final Hours of Portal 2). Stated in an article by GameInformer, Chell was supposed to get married to a Turret (which was specifically called a bride, the turrets also refer to each other with feminine terms). These aren't as canon, but in Count to Three, a Valve fan-song that got approval to have Gabe Newell and Ellen McLain in it, Chell is drawn as dancing with Gordon Freeman. I’m not sure what that counts for but it’s staying. A little bonus, I headcanon she’s transfeminine because the original Portal protagonist was male before they used Chell! They aren’t the same character but I like to think they are (if the guy wasn’t white).
Turret Bride - lesbian (canon)
There was a cut scene in Portal 2 where Chell would save a group of Turrets and help them so in return they gave a Turret off to marry Chell, who was called the bride turret.
Turrets - sapphic (implied)
The standard turrets themselves are sapphic because most are girls or at least use she/her pronouns (besides Randolph,  and probably the defective turrets). They had valentines cards to each other, the Turret Wife serenade can be brought up as well.
Cave - transgender, pansexual (potential)
In Aperture Desk Job, there is a billboard with Cave's face on it with specific parts having the colors of the transgender flag and the pansexual flag. In Perpetual Testing Initiative there are lines implying (in a sense?) he could've liked his assistant Greg (Similar to how Caroline and Cave could’ve had a relationship). There is also a universe where Cave was a trans woman, meaning in a universe Cave is a trans man as he says the possibilities of universes is infinite. In Portal 2 there is implication he could've liked Caroline (they get a lot of strange implication. And once again, Caroline and Cave’s art for the Steam 20th anniversary was done over a meme of a couple.). In both PTI and the base game he makes remarks towards the hypothetical test subjects hearing it (as they're prerecorded), calling them a handsome devil or complimenting them. In the DotA announcer pack, he often makes remarks finding various characters attractive (or commenting on how characters of either gender aren’t wearing pants??). Also in the DotA announcer pack, Cave mentions having a first wife (implying he had other marriages) Also in that he says he doesn’t like Greg’s wife which if believing that Cave likes Greg then that would make sense.
Cavina Johnson - transgender (implied)
Cavina is the transfeminine version of Cave in Perpetual Testing Initiative. She is heard protesting her gender and trying to get people to believe she is a woman.
Sally Sue Greg - transgender (implied)
Sally Sue Greg is the transfeminine version of Greg in an alternate universe. She's heard talking with Cavina about the matter of people not seeing them as women.
Greg - transgender, achillean (potential?)
Greg might be transmasculine as seen above with Cave, he too had a transfeminine version of himself in Perpetual Testing Initiative. (Big stretch, probably not the intention) how he acts with Cave could also potentially be romantic. Though he also has a daughter, and in the DotA announcer pack, Cave mentions how Greg has a wife (who Cave does not like).
Bendy - nonbinary (potential)
Bendy was never given a gender in Perpetual Testing Initiative and only has the little stick figure sprite. Same for other Aperture universe games such as The Lab.
Charlie - nonbinary, bisexual (implied)
Charlie in Aperture Desk Job gets no identifying features of any gender and Charlie is a very gender-neutral name. Grady also asks them if they have a wife or husband and then says he'd like to meet them eventually.
Grady - gay (potential)
Charlie and Grady are most likely meant to mimic the relationship that Chell and GLaDOS have.
Cores - agender (canon)
Most (but not all) Cores and robots in the Portal games that you see do not get assigned a gender (or get it/its used on them).
Atlas and Pbody - gay? Aroace? (Implied??)
In The Final Hours of Portal 2 they were implied as a couple. One of Valves artists, Makani, made human designs and made them both the same gender, also stating the robots are pretty gender-neutral. I don't think the robots themselves were actually given a gender though. Also you can color-pick the aro/ace flag off of them. Portal is literally aro/ace now lol!
Mel - sapphic (potential)
Mel and Chell were originally co-op test partners together, if following the same pattern as the co-op bots, then they could’ve been romantic.
There’s a clipboard in various areas of the games that says “Gender Neutral, Polyamory-Friendly Partnership Project”.
Half-Life
Gman - genderless, asexual (canon?)
There's a line in Half-Life 1 from the Nihilanth that says Gman is not man like Gordon is "you are man. He is not man". Gman isn't really human so I don't think gender or sexual orientation matters but a bonus is you can also color-pick the asexual colors from him.
Alyx - bisexual (probable)
Alyx was meant to have a crush on a resistance member who's gender was not confirmed. Alyx in Half-Life 2 is shown to develop a crush on Gordon Freeman. This doesn’t really count but in the Official Portal 2 Guide Book, there was a question to some Valve employees on who would win if Chell and Alyx were in a fight and two people said they'd probably just hang out and go to a bar (I like to think that implies something lol).
Cut Resistance member - nonbinary (possibly)
(Same as above) There was a cut resistance member for HL2e3 that Alyx Vance would get a crush on. They were deaf so Alyx learned sign language to communicate with them. They later on go away from Alyx to someplace else to fight the Combine and Alyx was left to use her sign language with Dog. Gabe Newell did not specify the gender of this character.
Barney Calhoun - bisexual (possibly)
Barney in Half-Life: Blue Shift is implied to have a girlfriend based on his locker but someone suggested he might be bisexual because of a line to Gordon in Half-Life 2, “You're in pretty good shape for a man of science”.
Technically you could also count many of the humans in Half-Life to being asexual due to the suppression field. 
Adrian Shephard is another potential gender queer character because him as a person is meant to be up to player interpretation
The Lambda symbol, in Half-Life’s context is used to represent radioactive decay, but the Lambda symbol has been used historically as a gay pride symbol.
Team Fortress 2
Miss Pauling - lesbian (canon)
Miss Pauling was confirmed lesbian by Jay Pinkerton, one of Valves writers. She's shown in Expiration Date, her voice lines, and the comics to not like Scout back or ever date him. She goes to many women themed events in her time off in the Tough Break update. She had an ad listing in the Teufort Reader on the TF2 website in which she was looking for someone to go on a date with her but did not specify the gender of the partner, unlike Scout who specified he wanted to date a woman. Ashly Burch, Pauling's voice actress, came out as pansexual and added in the post that many of the characters she voiced were in LGBTQ (she is also in DotA as Dark Willow and in Portal as the out-of-breath core if that means anything for them). In the TF2 comics, Pauling is repulsed by Soldier being naked but was unbothered by Zhanna, possibly implied to develop a crush on her. Miss Pauling might also have a crush on the Administrator by some of her remarks towards her in the comics (And in the possible comic 7 leak documented by Richter Overtime where they almost kiss??). I made a whole post going into more detail on Pauling’s lesbianism, so here it is if you haven’t seen it!  https://www.tumblr.com/thatvalvefanatic/691897743464136704/miss-pauling-from-team-fortress-2-is-confirmed-to?source=share)
Medic - bisexual (canon)
Medic and Heavy being a couple is heavily implied! The main TF2 comic artist, Makani, has posted a lot of Heavy x Medic art in the past (slight nsfw warning if you click on the links). Medic and Heavy are shown to be extremely close in their voice lines, (Heavy has more lines for Medic than everyone else, they’re a lot kinder as well), official sfms (they're usually paired next to each other), and in the comics. In the comics they become the implied parents of the monkey from Classic Heavy (and they stand together on the side with the other couples). Heavy had a line to Medic for the Kiss King item saying to kiss him. Robin Atkin Downes, Medic's voice actor, at Pax West 2022 said that he thought Valve should make a love story for Medic and Heavy and later on as Medic "just for the record, I love Heavy!" And posted it to his Twitter. Heavy and Sniper's voice actors replied supporting this decision. Medic and Heavy’s actors also improved a date, once reaching a certain donation goal on the Kritzkast streams. For him being bisexual, Demoman had a line to Medic saying he was having sex with his wife, as well as Makani made a design for her. For further info, here’s a master post I found of people compiling Heavy-Medic stuff! (although it is probably not the fully updated version but it includes A LOT more that I didn’t include here!). https://www.tumblr.com/heavicislit/638295696204857344/more-art-by-makani
Heavy - gay (implied)
Heavy is gay for the reasons for Medic as above, but he has never seemed romantically interested in the other women shown in the series (probably seeing them more like family he should protect).
Pyro - genderqueer (canon)
Pyro in their updates and in Valve interviews has gotten all he/she/they pronouns used on her. He also was joked at having a menstrual cycle in the comics. But they also have a male voice actor and masculine concept art. There was also a lot of implications of different genders for her, such as in Meet the Pyro with the female symbol in Pyroland and showing him liking stereotypical girlish things (plus the “he’s not here, is she?” line in the official captioning/transcript). Their cosmetics can be pretty androgynous. Many character’s use different pronouns or gendered insults on occasion in-game. One thing that inspired people to have the theory they are a girl is when a file of an unused female face turned up around the time of the Sniper vs Spy files, but never confirmed what it was used for. In a QnA, John Patrick Lowrie, Snipers voice actor, was asked what Pyro's gender was and in response he said Pyro was beyond gender and Pyro’s voice actor uses different pronouns on Pyro (usually he/they). Besides Sniper, Pyro was the only mercenary to not receive genderbent concept art. (There is way more to the Pyro genderqueer theory so if I find a good post analyzing it, I’ll link it here!)
Demoman - bisexual (possibly)
Demoman has the line "If I wasn' the man I was I'd kiss ye!" when thanking someone (and apparently in the Spanish version it translates to "If I weren't so macho I'd kiss you", if that adds anything). Also a lot of people interpret his lines to Soldier as romantic coded- I’m acknowledging that yes they’re platonic and that’s great if they are! Of course friendships exist and are equally as important but I thought people pointing romance out was interesting! -Voice lines include: ”I love you, man...", "DOMINATED! But you're a good man and I love you.", "EVERYBODY! I DON'T LIKE THIS MAN. HE IS A SOULLESS MONSTER! I do like you, it's just for show." and not to just Soldier I found this "Dominated! Accordin' to unicorn law, yer me bloody wife now". For liking woman there’s the line, previously mentioned above, where Demo tells Medic he’s gonna have sex with his wife, "Dominated! ...And I've been shaggin' yer wife! Hahah!"
Soldier - transgender, bisexual (possibly)
My friend brought this one up but Soldier might be transmasculine, as people who are unidentifiable for a name, mainly used in war, will be named Jane Doe (for female) or John Doe (for male) based on genitals. Soldier's name is Jane Doe, but he still refers to himself as a man, meaning he could be transmasculine. He later uses the name John Doe which could be him changing it. (I found this good post discussing it! https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/971fix/comment/hsadirk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) And for bisexual it’s the same as above with Demoman examples being "I love your death, cyclops; your death is sweet to me like love is sweet.", "DOMINATED! Call me later, we can talk about our day.", “DOMINATED! I cherish these moments we spend together." (to Demoman), "C'mere, sweetheart.” (to Medic). And in the comics he gets married to Heavy’s sister Zhanna.
Spy - genderfluid, polyamorous (implied)
Spy has the line "I like my teams like I like my romances: in groups of six". In the Scream Fortress event for 2022, there is a sticker on the briefcase for Spy's taunt, Travel Agent, that has him in pinup type attire with a more feminine/sexualized figure for both Red and Blu team. In the Steam 20th anniversary art, both Red and Blu Spy were drawn in the blue-black, white-gold dresses.
The Administrator - aroace spectrum (potential?)
Administrator shows no interest in relationships of any sort (besides once having a relationship with Saxton Hale). Someone suggested she was aplatonic, which can fall into aroace categories.
Merasmus - bigender, asexual (implied)
Merasmus in the comics would have feminine terms or titles used on him (for wearing a dress) but never corrected anyone (while still using he/him pronouns on himself). Soldier has a voice line calling Merasmus an enchantress (used for a woman who uses magic, or used for a woman who is attractive). In a comic he implied he was ace by saying his blood was that of a virgin.
Redmon and Blutarch Mann - intersex or trans?? (almost)
In the comic Blood Brothers, they consider creating a pregnancy machine to continue their family line and to continue the fight over gravel, but they are stopped when Gray Mann kills them.
TFC Pyro - transfeminine, intersex (canon)
Beatrice (TFC Pyro) is canonically a trans woman as in the original Team Fortress game she was assumed a guy, having a male voice actor and her design was mostly covered up. She then is a woman in the comics. She technically got gender reassignment surgery from Medic when he put baboon uterus' inside everyone!
TFC Soldier - gay, intersex (implied?)
Ross (TFC Soldier) is implied to like Greg in the TF2 comics before they die by Pyro. The pair talking emotionally about going to make orphanage together and following their dreams.
TFC Spy - gay, intersex (implied?)
Greg (TFC Spy) is the same as the spot above.
TFC Heavy - intersex (canon)
Medic directly told TFC Heavy that he put a baboon uterus inside of him. The procedure works and Medic is left with a baby baboon!
TFC Demoman - intersex (canon)
Same with TFC Heavy, Greg (TFC Demoman) is directly said to have a baboon uterus!
Team Fortress Classic team - intersex (canon)
Like previously mentioned, the TFC team had baboon uterus' put inside them from the TF2 Medic. Most of the team is assumed to be assigned male at birth and assuming none of them noticed this surgery, Medic probably kept in both parts, making them all intersex. 
One of Valve’s artists, Makani, used to post a lot of queer art of the mercenaries. Many were genderbent, (or just remained cis/gay or polyamorous). Examples include Spy x Sniper, Heavy x Medic x Medic’s wife, ect.
Left4dead
Ellis - bisexual (canon)
Ellis says "If the laws of nature would allow it, I would bear that man's children." Towards a race car driver. Some believe the voice lines towards Keith make it seem like the two could be in a relationship. Ellis does develop a crush on Zoey, though. Someone suggested his voice line "My name is Ellis, some people call me El. But I really prefer Ellis 'cause El kinda sounds like a girl's name. But if you prefer to call me El, I guess you can." can relate to being transgender.
Nick - bisexual (possible)
Someone informed me that Nick having a ring on his left pinky finger could be used as a gay sign. Although he has rings on many different fingers, the pinky ring could still indicate he’s MLM in some way (although it can also be used as an indicator of a gang, which we know he was probably apart of one). Nick has been divorced from a woman at least once, going by some of his voice lines.
Rochelle is sometimes referred to with male pronouns for certain actions, but it seems to have been an oversight of forgetting to add female variants.
The Church Guy when revealed can be a Hunter, Smoker, or Boomer of either gender
Dota
Storm Spirit - gay (canon)
Storm Spirit is implied to not like women in his voice lines (Batrider also says his bat likes fruit when the bat hurts Storm Spirit). Him being gay was confirmed by an employee on Steam on a Steam forum.
Legion Commander - transgender, lesbian (canon)
The Legion Commander was originally male in DotA 1/World of Warcraft (?) but was later changed and remained a girl in DotA 2 and it’s comics. Legion in the DotA comic, Call to Arms, is hinted at dating a male Satyr named Belasanno, but this is contradicted when Legion was confirmed lesbian by a Valve employee on a Steam forum (where a user stated she was lesbian and a Valve employee marked it as correct). Not canon but the Valve artist Makani made a post drawing DotA characters as Undertale characters and Legion was drawn as Undyne, who is lesbian as well. (and if you’re curious who Alphys was, it’s WInter Wyvern/Auroth)
Mirana - bisexual (canon)
Mirana worships and is in love with Selemene (other potential relationships were Marci, Wei, or Luna?). She is in the anime called “Usurpers whore”, the usurper being Selemene in this situation. She does fall in love with Davion the Dragon Knight, and is implied to have his child.
Luna - lesbian (canon) Luna worships Selemene, Selemene multiple times saying she loved her and Luna says she is fully hers.  Luna is hinted at not liking men in the anime when she rejects all advances from Hieronimo. Later when Luna, Davion, Hieronimo, and Mirana meet up Davion asks what’s going on, Hieronimo responds that it’s a lovers quarrel (I assumed about Mirana/Luna, but it was probably about Mirana/Davion or Hieronimo inserting himself into it). Luna seems to have some kind of feelings towards Mirana, at times dedicating her life to her. She is very intense about serving her.
Zeus - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)
Zeus in DotA 2 is just Zeus from Greek mythology, who was known to sleep with both women and men, usually multiple at a time.
Queen of Pain - pansexual (probably)
Queen of Pain is a succubus, and while succubi are usually attracted to men, many can be bisexual.
Anti-Mage - asexual (implied)
Anti-Mage is a monk and monks aren’t supposed to have sexual interactions so I’m using that to say he’s ace. Also a Queen of Pain line to him is "Oh, Anti-Mage, I'll make you break your vows." furthering that fact.
Lina - transgender (kind of)
Lina in DotA 1 was a male character named Link Inverse. They were inspired by the character Lina Inverse from Slayer. She was later changed to female.
Fymryn - pansexual, polyamorous (canon)
Fymryn in the Dota 2 Dragons Blood anime is seen in a polyamorous relationship with Adara, Dyfed, and Idwal. Adara being a woman and Dyfed and Idwal being men. When she is Mene, she is shown to be very loving to everyone.
Adara - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)
Same as above for the poly relationship.
Dyfed - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)
Same as above.
Idwal - bisexual, polyamorous (canon)
Same as above.
Selemene - pansexual, polyamorous (canon)
Selemene has very intimate worshipers of any gender, previously was dating Invoker, she is also an elf, in which the elven race is naturally pansexual and polyamorous.
Invoker - polyamorous
As previously mentioned, all Dota elves were confirmed polyamorous in the anime.
Mene - pansexual, polyamorous (canon)
Mene is the goddess that came before Fymryn was reincarnated as her. Similar to Selemene, she is seen with multiple gendered worshippers.
Most elves in DotA are confirmed polyamorous. Fymryn says that the elves find one on one relationships strange. Other main elves are Filomena and Invoker. They are presumably polyamorous although neither have been shown to have romantic relationships (besides Invoker with Selemene). I can’t find a clip of the scene but someone posted the quotes of Fymryn asking Davion about monogamy. (adding just the general idea of elves since there are many shown that are unnamed)
Pugna - archillian (maybe) This one is more joking but relating to the Undertale crossover art, Pugna was drawn as Sans and Sans is very aro/ace coded (I’m still learning DotA lore so I’m using the Undertale post almost as a basis? For this one anyway). I saw some people say Pugna was gay due to some voice lines but I haven’t found them.
Black Market Overseer - queer
The black market overseer in DotA: Dragon’s Blood is incredibly androgynous with slight drag (?) elements. They have a masculine voice but a more feminine look and could easily be interpreted as both male or female in appearance.
Hieronimo - bisexual (implied)
In the anime he makes flirting comments to both men and women (Luna and Invoker)
In the black market Mirana and Marci pass a room with a bunch of people having sex. It was pairs of multiple genders and some of the pairs were polyamorous.
Characters I’ve seen people say are queer but I could not find 100% reasoning: Razor, (gay, people mainly mentioned his voice acting), Slark (gay), Wind and Drow ranger (lesbian, but I think it’s mainly fanon or fetish), Axe (gay), Juggernaut (bi), Riki (gay, for being purple apparently?? I saw multiple people say this- Although I did find this on the importance of purple in the queer community if that means anything), Meepo (bi for liking redheads, although it’s only to female characters), Mirana (trans, they might’ve mixed her up for Legion or Lina)
Counter-Strike
There are characters missing from this (from both the Asian and American versions of the series, apparently), but this is what I’ve found so far?? Please let me know if you find anything else! And yeah before y’all start about how gay people shouldn't exist in a terrorist game. Yeah. It doesn’t matter! But it matters even less when you sit here arguing with us about it. Some people just like the character lore okay. We aren’t supporting terrorism or whatever.
Trapper - transgender?
Many people thought this character was transgender due to the fact that when first released, she used the male variant of voice lines. It was later updated to the female version. The design is very gender ambiguous.
Safecracker Voltzmann - lesbian (implied)
While no voice lines make this apparent, Voltzmann’s design is similar to butch lesbians. She’s very masculine in appearance and has short colored hair which is a popular stereotype among gay people. Her personality is very fun and eccentric, she’s described as being weird, this could be like how queer people are othered for being themselves and seen as different.
This also doesn’t count as much but in the Steam 20th anniversary art, there are two Counter-Strike dudes doing the Barbie and Ken mugshot meme. Usually people used this meme for ships (as well as Ken has a crush on Barbie in the movie).
Characters people have said are queer but I found no evidence for: Female terrorist (lesbian, either CSO (Jennifer?) or CSGO (voltzmann??), Yuri and Ace (lesbian and ace for their names- but the names are obviously for the other meanings of the words), a SEAL Team 6 member (trans, I assume it would be like Legion or Lina where the character got genderswapped in development. Cannot find who though), 
Miscellaneous
Steam Pal (Steam Deck) - agender (canon?)
Steam Pal is the Steam Deck mascot for the Asian release. They have not been given a gender so far. The only possible instance was when Steam Pal was referred to as “Pal-Chan”, (the honorific “-chan” in Japanese is often used for young children or girls).
Player character (Ricochet) - transgender (canon?)
There is a cut female model from the game, potentially the player character instead of the male. (They were probably different characters though).
Holly (Back 4 Blood) - sapphic (potential)
(Yes I know Back4Blood isn't directly from Valve) Holly has a pin with a rainbow on her bag, the colors are similar to the pansexual flag. Some people interpret her and Karlee’s interactions as flirting (I have yet to find which ones but I’ll link to them when I find them). Someone pointed out that Holly playing softball and roller derby are often lesbian stereotypes so that could be a hint at her sexuality.
Mom (Back 4 Blood) - bisexual (canon)
Mom and Doc are said to be written as a relationship by one of the developers. Mom was married and had children too. They seem to really care about each other in conversation.
Doc (Back 4 Blood) - sapphic (canon)
Same as above.
Karlee (Back 4 Blood) - lesbian (potential?)
Karlee was stated to have grown close to Sharice (but not clarified in what way) and gave her one of her pins. Some people interpret her interactions with Holly as flirting or think she’s queer because of her punkish design and demeanor. Although she was confirmed to not be trans (some people had confusion over her gender from a texturing error).
Sharice (Back 4 Blood) - lesbian (potential?)
Same as above.
(Back 4 Blood) There is a line from Jim implying none of the characters are straight in response to someone. Lines being (not exact as I just saw a post about it) “I hope this is straight forward” “Only thing straight around here is how the crow flies”. Of course this phrase is used in other contexts, but it’s funny to think about.

Happy pride everyone!! Hope everyone's been having a good pride month so far!!
Tumblr media
So my name is Nat or Dawn also works. I'm a aroflux nonbinary ace polyam lesbian who uses they/it. I love my partners @ewitsrin and @ultimadoka !!
Fun fact I've officially known I'm a lesbian for 4 years now!! I knew I was sapphic before then but yep! The story of how I found out I'm a lesbian is super funny. In short I was having a crisis and asked my friend if he thought I was a lesbian and then my brain kinda blue screened for a sec because I realized he was right.
The rest I kinda just figured out along the way. I was in denial about being nonbinary for awhile but I've kinda always known that I am and after awhile just stopped putting it off and accepted it.
Being ace is something I've known since I've first heard the word. I used to use the label on and off because I was told I was "too young" but here's the thing I'm 17 and still as much asexual as I am when I heard the word first at 11.
Aroflux is a label I've only recently started using. I've known I'm arospec for awhile but could never pinpoint what exactly until I realized I'm probably aroflux and it made more sense.
Lastly!! I had no idea I was polyam until I got with Sunny. Hi Sunny ily.

my friend that I had feelings for back in school (I confessed and it never went anywhere) threw multiple random flirts my way earlier and I was so dumbfounded that I still don't know how to respond????
I have no idea if they're /srs or /j or even /hj and the craziest part is that I actually got flustered by it even though I already gave up almost 2 years ago??? I asked my gf what they thought and she didn't even know what it could mean
I am thoroughly befuddled by this development, especially and I already fumbled the bag with another friend because I both couldn't tell that she was seriously into me and not just flirting for fun and affection OR that I actually did/do feel interested in her beyond friendship and now she's not looking for anything like that for now so I don't know if I'm repeating the same cycle or if it's not that serious
