It's Pride Month, and what better way to celebrate than by highlighting the colorful spectrum of LGBTQ+ operators in Rainbow 6 Siege?
Of course, once again, this was met with toxicity and team killing occurred for many players who rocked the pride banner.
Ubisoft‘s partnership with GLAAD ensured Osa‘s reveal tackled representation thoughtfully. Flores delivers on all fronts both as an engaging operator and positive representation.
Osa – Siege‘s First Non-Binary Operator
Danish defender Osa broke new ground for the franchise as Siege‘s first non-binary operator in Year 6 Season 3.
Join us as we dive into the stories and unique abilities of these characters who not only fight on the digital battlegrounds but also represent strength and diversity in gaming. This accelerated push aligns with Ubisoft‘s stated goals to make the game more representative and inclusive.
Flores – Latin American Dynamite
Hailing from Argentina, Vicente "Flores" Pérez joined Team Rainbow in Year 6 as its first openly gay operator.
Ubisoft confirmed shortly after that Sens is Rainbow‘s first gay male operator since Flores. An expert in stealth tactics, deception, tracking, and surveillance, Sens arrives like a high-tech ninja.
Beyond his sneaky skillset, Sens‘ reveal trailer prominently featured the rainbow flag and other LGBTQ motifs. Ready up, it's time to breach into a world where everyone is welcome!
He’s also gay, according to this official page on the Ubisoft Rainbow Six website.
“In general, I’d say he’s a good mate,” says another in-game operator, Tori ‘Gridlock’ Fairous in the new character reveal.
“A bit awkward, but he listens when others speak, which is more than I can say for a lot of people.
Representation matters. Fast forward a few years and Rainbow Six Siege now boasts 68 playable operators, some of which are LGBTQIA+. Ready up, it's time to breach into a world where everyone is welcome!

As the roster continues expanding, I cannot wait to see how Ubisoft builds on their amazing progress so far in LGBTQ representation. The Siege devs then took it a step further and made a change within the game to stop this, you can no longer team kill during prep phase – this is the phase in which the offenses happened the most.
Rainbow Six community reacts to first openly gay operator Flores: ‘Representation matters’

Rainbow Six Siege’s first openly gay operator has been revealed – and it’s causing a stir on social media.
Flores is an attacker, billed as a master thief with an explosive drone, so expect him to have a covert style of play.
Reactively, Siege content creators and professionals overwhelmingly shared praise for Osa‘s design and meaning.
Sens – A Silent Assassin
Emerging in Year 7 Season 1, Belgian attacker Sens provides stealthy reconnaissance on attack as Siege‘s latest LGBTQ operator. Augmentations like neural reality visors and hologram projectors highlight Osa‘s passion for self-enhancement through advanced technology.
Now it was never explicitly said that this is why that change was brought into place, but the timing was impeccable so I feel that it played a part.
Rainbow Six Siege, and Ubisoft support the LGBTQIA+ community all year round. This representation and inclusion has been crucial for the LGBTQIA+ community who play the game.
Born Ottilia Dahl, Osa uses the gender-neutral pronouns they/them. Further, when we look at the toxicity faced by players, some of the most common insults and slurs used within the FPS gaming world are homophobic. He has almost two decades of experience in journalism, and left Esports News UK in June 2025. I am sure some people will read this and question why it is so important “it’s just a game”.
Seeing the stance Ubisoft and Siege take on homophobia within their gaming community leaves me feeling super positive, even when I receive the odd message of abuse.
