In celebration of the 2.0 update in "Guilty Gear Strive" I wanted to bring back this article I wrote last year for @animefeminist about the franchise’s three major LGBTQ+ characters. I’m happy with how it turned out and hope that it helps (re)introduce people to these characters, and their respective journeys of self-discovery and queer joy.
