So is Chloe a lesbian or something? (Minor Spoilers)
I'm in the middle of episode 2, and I'm starting to notice a certain....spark....between Chloe and Rachel. I've never seen anyone indicating one way or another in the game, so I guess I'll just ask now: Is there any canon evidence besides the hints we pick up in the game that Chloe is a lesbian?

If it is mentioned later in the game, just say something vague, I don't want spoilers.

I would call her "bi" but there is no 'clear' hint except for a love story with max depending of your choices

did you not play the first one? the two combined make a clear answer imo.

I would say bi leaning towards lesbian. Chloe is still very young and is very likely exploring her sexuality at this stage of her life just like a lot of people do at that age,

She is confused and has lot of issues and needs something more than a friendship, but she's clearly bi imo.

people are also arguing about this so much :D To me love is all that matters but if you want me to give details from game:

In Season 1 Ep3, whenever you mention about boys or the possibility that they may be into her she literally refuses that idea. When you mentioned if she had relationship with a guy she mentions ''not serious, hella stupid usually. I went through boy toy phase'' or in other scenario she goes like boys are gross. When Max mentions that she can't see her with any guy around there she says ''Because you have a good eye that's why I was so glad that Rachel came along to rescue me'' .. so things in her wallet never been used at this point. She stopped whatever she was doing after Rachel. Lots of people also confusing Mr.Jefferson scene, yet they also missed some detail in here: It was definitely to tease Max since she saw her nervousness; Another detail, if you paid attention their car dialogue at Ep1; when Chloe wanted to hear Max came Arcadia Bay for Chloe, Max blurted out and said she came there for Mark Jefferson. Chloe was also so bitter about it.

In BtS, we've seen her while she was realizing her sexuality more. And as you know Rachel was the first person she fell in love with. We know she grew romantically on her over 3 years.

So I'm not gonna say any certain thing but her interest is definitely leaning towards girls more, that's for sure.
If you are looking for a certain answer... I guess lead-writer Zak G. also said he sees her as 'gay'. He also said your choice doesn't define Chloe's sexuality but what does she voice over there. So you can't change it at all

Yeah, Chloe Price is a bisexual. She had a little thing for Max in the first game, but even in the first game you could tell Chloe liked Rachel more than a friend. :]

No "canon" explanation, because in both games it depends on the player's choices.
It is hinted in LiS that she may be at least bi, judging from the things she says about Rachels and some posters in her room, but again, is all up to player to have the last word.

Yeah I totally agree, Love is all that matters and Love is ALL you need, without love life is almost not worth living.

I need to step in here, if you don't mind...

Chloe's more pre-defined than Max and you can't also control her at all in S1. Just because you could control her emotions in BtS doesn't mean those 3 years will not shape in the same way or you can completely change her. Player may choose to not admit her feelings towards Rachel and keep it subtle, but that was only 3 days. Over the course of 3 years we know that,one way or another,Chloe romantically grows on Rachel. With BtS you can't change whatever has implied in S1 at all, especially her character,sexuality etc. since they are already presented.

I understand your point, but you are giving for granted that in LiS Chloe had a romantic feeling for Rachel. That, by the way, is the same way I always intended it myself, so I agree with you. But, as I wrote before, is only hinted, so I still believe is up to the player decided how to interpret her words. One can easily play LiS considering both girls absolutely straight, without forcing any interpretation.

These threads about lesbians or bisexuals or transsexuals...could you please just accept the love and commitment of Rachel and Chloe and stop categorizing? Geez.

Yeah but it's not forcing interpretation though,you can't 100% change characters' sexuality/character/personality etc etc while this game is also a prequel. I was just saying we can't change whatever was implied/hinted in S1. Characters (especially Chloe) weren't blank-slate too. It's true that Rachel and Chloe's relationship was ambigious from S1 - we didn't know whether if Rachel responded those feelings or if they were ever serious... but Chloe's feelings towards her wasn't that ambigious. Or Chloe's *preference* wasn't that ambigious.

Choice system in BtS was not deciding Chloe's sexuality. From S1 you knew that no matter what Chloe harbors feelings for Rachel. In BtS, the decisions you make just decides whether or not Rachel feels open enough to reciprocate those feelings. That's totally how it works and there is nothing wrong with it. Player may keep it subtle and avoid from admitting feelings, but at the end of the day you are not shaping those ''3 years''. One shouldn't forget that.

there is both hint that she is a bi. she slept with a guy already by the start of BTS, has condom in her pocket in LIS,and also can kiss and love both max and rachel.well since in these type of game we have the choice to decide if they kiss or no she can be whatever we want to a certain extent.
elsie Dec 30, 2017 @ 1:56pm 
she's bi. in LiS chloe hinted at being with boys sexually and you can find a condom in one the pockets of a jacket in her room.
Deusuum Dec 30, 2017 @ 1:56pm 
Whatever. It's not an adult game and also doesn't need to attract hype with some nude or sex scenes. Yes, looks like she is bi-curious, but it doesn't change anything about her, we love her not for that.
