21 Other Comic Book Characters Who Should Come Out of the Closet

In late May, DC Comics announced one of their major characters who was previously identified as ‘straight’ would officially change his sexual orientation to ‘gay’. The story attracted major media buzz, but as any comic book fanboy (or girl) will tell you, LGBT themes in mainstream American comics have been prevalent for decades.


Of all the entertainment mediums, the comic book industry has arguably led the charge in bringing LGBT issues to the forefront of the public forum. So  we’re taking a look at other comic book characters who’ve predominantly been ‘classified’ as heterosexual that could probably be gay or bi-sexual. Are we judging based on archaic stereotypes? In some cases, yes. But, it’s all in good fun, so check your PC at the alternate dimension.
