2020 isn’t even half way over just yet and it’s been a helluva ride so far. We talk about the changing face of Pride during COVID-19. From Virtual Pride to Black Lives Matter, nobody’s 2020 bingo card could have prepared us for this.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the cubs welcome back the adorkable Chris Diorio to geek out on some gaming representation. The cubs converse about the video game industry and characters that are part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. How has the changing culture of gay acceptance affected the characters depicted in modern gaming? Is it just lip service or part of the game development? With Chris’s experience and inside knowledge, the cubs delve into these questions and more.
Show Topic
Discussion with Guest Host Chris D on ‘gayming’ characters in video games and how the player communities have reacted to date.

Hi again, cubs!
First, I would like to thank you for giving me a shout out in your last episode. I am glad my email was able to clarify some of your questions and I hope your episode was able to answer other people’s questions as well. Second, I was gladly surprised to receive a public invitation to your podcast! I’d be happy to try it out as I have never been invited to a podcast before. I am going to be moving to Albuquerque, NM this Friday and will not have internet at home for a few days… or many (if you have comcast you may know what I mean). However, let me know how you’d like to start this.
Best,
Francisco Salgado-Garcia (aka Cisco)

I will not be silenced by fear.
The father of Omar Mateen, the suspect who shot and killed more than 50 people at Orlando’s gay nightclub Pulse, said that his son didn’t like it when he saw two men kissing recently in Miami.
Go out and kiss. In public. Make seeing a kiss a common thing. Take away it’s “shock” value. Do it for those who died, and those who won’t because you had the courage to express your love.

The “Kiss Goodnight” is the Magic Kingdom’s way of ending your day at the park where they light up the castle in a unique way plus have a narrator wishing you had a magical time at the park. During the vigil, Disney cut the music normally played, and changed the lighting scheme to a rainbow.
A quick round-up of this week’s homo-news and a spattering of feedback lead us into discussing the ban on gay marriage in California, straight guys working in gay bars, the trend of bachorlette parties being held in gay bars and our most hated chores.
Next Week, COL is off for a week. Wish Jeff a Happy 30th Birthday on the 29th and we’ll see you all in 2 weeks.
So where has Jon Jon gone? I miss our gaysian cub. He seemed very sweet and adoreable.
You guys rock. Love your podcast!

The cover story of Chicago’s free daily was titled “STR8 Guy for the Gay Bar.” Yes, I’m ashamed to admit that even a free newspaper in a major city would be running such a lame story on the cover. The long and short of it is many straight men are taking employment in area gay bars. I’m not really much of a gay bar sort, but I’m a little torn on the whole concept. Sure, pretty much every person in the service business is just playing you for the money, but straight men “playing gay” is a little different (or is it?). God knows that there are more than enough gay men in the food service trade to fill these jobs, so why are likely gay bar owners filling these jobs from outside of the tribe?
It got me to thinking about another article I read about bachelorette parties deciding on gay bars and some establishments banning them. Being annoyed by bachlorettes is probably one of the many reasons I turned homo and I would like to avoid them as much as possible. I feel that all should be able to go wherever they want, but we certainly can’t go into straight and get away with acting like the soon-to-be married girls do.
