9 Famous Video Game Characters You Didn't Know Were Gay
8. Tiny Tina (Borderlands)
Borderlands' diminuitive bomb expert has always been a divisive character, with plenty of people finding her relentless, 'high on a bag of sweets' energy too much to bare, while others think she perfectly embodies the Tarantino-esque madness of the series. But one thing you can't deny Tiny Tina is that she's insanely self-assured for a thirteen-year-old. First of all, she's an experienced killer, which is more than any of us achieved at that age. Secondly, she's also quite open about her burgeoning sexuality at an age where we barely even know what that is, as she admits to having a crush on both Maya and Mad Moxxi at various points. Obviously, she's at an age where it's pretty hard to know if you're into man, woman or beast, but her orientation was confirmed by Borderlands writer Anthony Burch, who said that she's a lesbian. Suddenly, all her complementary talk of other female characters' 'POW booties' makes a whole lot more sense...
