iPhone game raising awareness for gay and lesbian marital rights

The company is pitching the game (App Store link) as Tetris meets Diner Dash, offering 3D arcade puzzles around a virtual car valet business.

However, the two central characters - Ren and Akira - are both gay, with their sexuality central to the storyline as players progress through the game.

"We set out to not only create a game that is an absolute blast to play with incredible visuals and top notch audio, but we also wanted to make a social statement that gays and lesbians should have the same marital rights as heterosexuals," says CEO Andrew Littlefield.

A portion of the revenues from the 99-cent game will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign.
