Have you played Life Is Strange: True Colors ? We have a love story between the bisexual protagonist Alex and the lesbian Steph. However, Steph's dating history includes a trans-identified boy (who never appears but we hear his masculine voice at one point). Great. Another medium that sends the messages that nice gay people date the opposit sex.

I've never played it, but I've heard of it. As someone who used to play video games obsessively, it's remarkable how we went from 'no gays allowed' to 'everyone and their mother is trans' so quickly.

Gay characters are still rare, but there are seemingly more trans characters every year.

I have played the game, and as I remember it, the trans woman only were a close friend and band member of hers, not someone Steph actually dated. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
