Queerness in Play examines the many ways queerness of all kinds-from queer as 'LGBT' to other
less well-covered aspects of the queer spectrum-intersects 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 games-as a culture an industry and a
medium-help 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.
