Here Is Every LGBTQ+ Contestant From 'Squid Game: The Challenge'

‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ has queer representation!

Four-hundred and fifty-six players entered Squid Game: The Challenge with the goal of making friends, making enemies, and making millions. Specifically, they’re all fighting to be the last person standing and take home the series’ grand prize of $4.56 million.

So, let’s take some time to celebrate this diverse group of LGBTQ+ players featured on Squid Game: The Challenge!
