I don't know if snake is gay, but I do know that "solid snakes" would be a great name for a gay bar.

Though to be honest.....there should be a gay baddass in gaming. You beat an entire game with this guy that makes Duke Nukem look like a little girl and the plot twist after the credits is, "he's gay." It would be Samus Aran all over again.
Now that would be awesome.
Hey, maybe then, those mythical species, girls, would actually look at games...

**remembers that quite a few members of The Escapist are female**

Don't hurt me, please!

Seriously, did you see Otacon? Raiden? Vogin? Sokolov? Ivan? All these people show traits of homosexuality, while you pick the one that doesn't show any traits. In fact Snake falls in love with Meryl, destroys a fucking huge Metal Gear (equipped with gun turrets lazors and more) with his bear fists clutching little hope with a missile launcher and the voice of David Hayter dripping from his lips! How can you get any more testosterone filled than that? Also because of a lack of processing power HE DOES IT ALL WITHOUT EVEN BREAKING A SWEAT!
I'm kind of wondering where the logic is behind "he's manly, so he's not gay". You're usually smarter than that.

Besides, Raiden's sexuality is a moot point, what with the girlfriend and all. It's made quite clear that Raiden is a lesbian.
Still I have valid points. Merly? There relationship? Or was it a big coverup to hide his homosexual traits?
That's why I brought up 'Republican Gay'. It's the version where you're married for 30 years, have three kids, then go out and solicit in public men's rooms. Which is the WORST way to do it. I mean really. We have bars, internet sites, and the weekly news letter for a reason!

Although honestly, if you're able to have that kind of relationship with a woman for that long and still seek the company of men, you're either so far up denial that they renamed it 'shit creek', or you're bisexual.

I forgot this in my first post but you're an idiot. Goddamnit. No offense, but seriously, you risk irritating the internet armed with word-of-mouth?

If he was gay I'd give it to him. Not a helpful or intellectually stimulating input, but accurate nonetheless. "Poll: Would you have gay sex with Snake?"
Seconded. Totally. Well, if he was gay and he existed.

And to whoever it was that said he has no gender, he had the ability to reproduce engineered out. Basically he was born with a vasectomy, not genderless.

Heck, even if he was 'curious' and existed. Wait. Are we talking "50 year old Snake" or "30 year old Snake"? Sure, age is just a number, but it does help determine how much ironing I have to do to get the wrinkles out, if you know what I mean.

EDIT: @Bodb:

See, I can't tell who you're talking to, because that's twice now you've posted after me, and while neither seems to be actually directed at me, I'm just wondering who you're trying to talk to.

Well, I was talking 30 year old mullet-era Snake. While 30 is still out of my age bracket, 50 would be a little wierd. That, and he's a lot sexier without the moustache.

On the topic in general, I've read an unhealthy amount of MGS Slash in my time, and it seems quite a lot of the fandom tends to go with bisexual. It's extremely obvious that he likes women in the games, but there are plenty of references in there to suggest that at least bi-curious.

EDIT: @Yan-Yan: Slash: In this case it would involve a Snake/Otacon pairing.

Define 'slash' for me, at least vaguely, because I seemed to have missed that slang usage while growing up. Maybe just a hint, because I can kind of guess what it is if push comes to shove. How about a game of 'Edit Hang-Man' with it?

And yeah, 30 year old, good choice. Just within my age range. Which is a little disappointing because that means I'm leaving the previous age range behind. C'est la vie.

EDIT: @Voodoo Child: It wasn't at first. I wasn't sure what the two had in common, if anything. A quick google search on Otacon later (to see if there was a meaning I didn't know), and I put the proverbial '2 and 2' together. I didn't know there was a name for that, but slash works, eh?

The super-hot femme fatale spy is taking off her coverall and Snake is busy modifying his aweseome new handgun.

See, to Snake, women aren't nearly as awesome as guns and vehicles and killin' stuff.

Snake is so straight he's gay.
Yeah, but that wasn't Solid Snake, that was the person he was cloned from, Big Boss.

Game started, then. Hope it wasn't too obvious a hint.

Does it really matter if he's gay or not?
Because what's more important: the fact that a man is gay or the fact that the same man is about to save the planet from a nanotech plague created by his clone-brother's psyche controlling his mentor's son?

Yes he did resist the temptations of his boss' daughter/niece, but that was because it turned out that she was an evil telepathic dude in a gas mask.

Well. It determines how 'available' he is for certain people. Before I ask him out (in that wonderful hypothetical land) I'd like to know if he fancied the gents or not. Sure it really doesn't matter, but neither do most video games. It's just a fun diversion of time for me.

His lovin' with Eva kinda seals it.
Actually, that was his progenitor (father), Big Boss.
If he was cloned from Big Boss, wouldn't he have the same sexual preferences? I mean, isn't the point of a clone to have an exact copy of yourself?
I guess... but his sexuality isn't a major point.

It's like the situation with Dumbledore; his preferences wer never mentioned in the stories, and even if he is gay, it dosen't matter, considering all of his accomplishments.

Besides, J.K. Rowling, the author of the book, was just upset about the discontinuation of her main franchise when she said that Dumbledore is gay.

As for Snake, obviously the Konami guys who released that 'Meat Gear Stupid' video showing Big Boss kissing an old dude were just being funny.

The point is: It dosen't matter if he's gay or not.
