Queerness in Play examines the many ways queerness of all kindsâfrom queer as âLGBTâ to other, less well-covered aspects of the queer spectrumâintersects with games and the social contexts of play. The current unprecedented visibility of queer creators and content comes at a high tide of resistance to the inclusion of those outside a long-imagined cisgender, heterosexual, white male norm. By critically engaging the ways gamesâas a culture, an industry, and a mediumâhelp reproduce limiting binary formations of gender and sexuality, Queerness in Play contributes to the growing body of scholarship promoting more inclusive understandings of identity, sexuality, and games.
