Fellas, is it Gay...?
A downloadable game
Fellas Is It Gay…? is a darkly humorous yet silly party game for 5-8 players that deals with exploring the ridiculous nature of fragile masculinity through humorous and specious arguments about what “counts” as gay, or what “makes” something gay.
This game is not for TERFs, homophobes, or bigots.
It’s important to note that slurs are NEVER used while playing. This is a game about the inherent ridiculousness of fragile masculinity, not about denigrating queerness or queer people.
How seriously should you take this game? Not at all. Not a whit. This game is a shitpost written by a non-binary person about the ridiculousness of rigid all-or-nothing binaries. If you catch yourself thinking about the nuances of different experiences within the queer community, stop. Turn back. You’ve gone too far.
What does gay mean? Are we talking about gay men, the 2SLGBTQ+ community as a whole, or something in between? All three of those are valid colloquial definitions, however a big part of the ridiculousness of the game lies in refusing to define what we mean. When you feel the urge to add nuance, don’t.

I played this at a GenCon 2024 after-party (along with some people with MUCH more TTRPG publishing cred than me) and it might have been the most fun we had all weekend.
1. Killer user name
2. Eeeee! That makes me so happy to hear :)
Just read the rulebook, and this game looks amazing. :D
One note - The paragraph on page 4 that starts "Play begins...", and the paragraph on page 5 that starts "When the plaintiff and Defendant..." are both repeated later on page 5.
Dammit. Thanks for pointing that out
I got to play this and never have I howled so much and so long with laughter. My belly hurt the following day from the workout I got.
Ridiculous in the best possible way, and wildly cathartic. It's a chance to step back and just delight in the absurdity of it.
Or luxuriate in the stupidity of it.
I mean, porque no los dos? ;)
