I love how inclusive the gaming community is in Press Start. It is my ideal reality even if it isn’t entirely true to reality. Loren is made to feel l ...more

Rose Sinclair is the profane community leader who started with a blog in 2013. The biggest noise maker they spearheaded was the a protest in 2015 that made GLADD step up the wider LGBTQIA+ community, paving the way for future acceptance of those communities and on-screen TV representation.
