Straight, white, middle class, cis guy here. (possibly bi, we'll see)

Recently a gay footballer came to my university to talk about struggles he and the LGBT community deal with, and it got me thinking (see link)

I'm pro LGBT AND really interested in game design, and it has become apparent that your community isn't getting the representation it deserves in games.

Characters are generally stereotyped/offensive and they usually lack depth.

So, at some point I'd like to make a game that properly represents several demographics. (Women, LGBT, non white races and non Christian religions are a few that games ignore)

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is to ask your community's opinion on a character idea of mine.

In the game's narrative, there are several LGBT characters on the good and bad side (primarily good, to prevent further abuse)

This particular character is of your community, and will either be gay/lesbian, trans or gender fluid
(There will be other types LGBT though;)
Let's call this character Taylor, she's one of the villain in the story, for the sake of understanding I'll use female pronouns

Taylor grew up in an intolerant neighbourhood (unlike the rest of the LGBT characters, who are leading comparably better lives)
Rejected by her community and treated as an abnormality, she had only one friend as a child, (who was LGBT also)
But, her friend wasn't strong willed, and committed suicide after being disowned by her conservative parents.
As a result of her brutal childhood, Taylor hates everyone, especially herself.

Not really sure what she'd do as a villain, but the idea is for her character to be developed over the course of the story, along with the other villains.

(Post too long so I'll add some more detail soon)
