Curated Collections About LGBTQIA

This is a directory of many people's zines, indie games, and other creations on itch.io that have themes of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, or asexual. I chose and reviewed each of these creations by hand, because even if they are different than my own views or experiences (as a queer person myself), they meet these criteria:

1. Queer positivity. These materials can be about unhappy things, but they're in harmony with the message that all LGBTQIA identities are themselves okay and should be accepted.
2. Queer verisimilitude. Even if it's science fiction, the queerness is as it is in real life. A f-tish made up for straight audiences is not queer representation, for the purposes of these collections.
3. Quality. Queerness is one of the good things about these materials, and they are good materials. The creator didn't use AI to create the art or text. (I didn't use any for this project, either.) They feel complete and functional even if they're short or rough around the edges in that handmade way.

First, I curate these collections of people's itch.io creations for each letter in the LGBTQIA acronym:

• Lesbian, sapphic, and women loving women.
• Gay men and men loving men.
• Bisexual, polysexual, and pansexual people feel attracted to people who have another or the same gender as their own.
• Transgender...
  • Trans women and trans feminine people.
    
  • Trans men and trans masculine people.
  • Nonbinary. For anyone who is not only a woman or a man all of the time. For example, agender (genderless), bigender, genderfluid, neutrois, and more.
• Queer. This collection is for creations that are a good introduction to what it means to be queer in general, or has a focus on more than one queer topic, or on a queer topic that I haven't made a specialized collection about yet.
• Intersex people have various sorts of naturally occurring differences from conventionally accepted categories of male and female bodies. (This is not about sexes that only exist in animals or fantasy.)
• Asexual spectrum has orientations where people don't tend to feel attracted to others: aromantic, asexual, aro-ace, demisexual, gray-ace, and more.

Next, I curate these collections of people's itch.io creations about other queer topics:

• Pride flags.
• Choose Your Own Gender. Games where you can choose whether you go by she, he, or other options for expressing your gender. Unlike the other collections in this directory, most of the creations in this one are games that I haven't tried and reviewed yet.
• Xenogender identities don't fit into human understandings of gender. The creations in this collection are about real people who feel that way, or-- unlike other collections in this directory-- speculations about what gender might be like in the future or in other worlds.
• Polyamory.
