I’m a video game design student. Part of my culminating project is to conceptualize a computer-based game for transgendered, straight, lesbian, and gay youth. There is a growing trend towards alternative gender expression amongst children twelve and under. My concept is to create a game titled "Disguise"; it will take place in a cross-dressing masquerade ball, in which players’ objective is to find and dance with their partner, who is also disguised. During the course, players must interact with other characters for clues about their partner’s whereabouts. The clues, however, will only be revealed if the player correctly guesses the character’s sexuality through context. I know this is a bit abstract and, possibly, overwhelming…but creating this game can help break down gender stereotypes that are prevalent in this age group. Any comments or suggestions regarding the video game will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

maybe rather than getting them to guess the sexuality outright all the time (imagine the bible bashers response to that) maybe you could have to offer them something for them to tell, something you you have won during a challenge, like 10 coins or a gem, something that is gunna keep it in the mainstreem so that any kid (who has no concept of other sexualities) could play.

sounds like a tope idea though, i hope you get it happening
