'The Walking Dead' Just Confirmed That Jesus Is Gay
Ever since Tom Payne made his The Walking Dead debut a year ago as fan-favorite Jesus, speculation has brewed over how much of his persona from the comic books would be retained – and specifically, whether his sexuality would remain the same. Payne said last year that he saw no reason why his on-screen Jesus wouldn't be gay, as he is in the comics, and in tonight's episode "The Other Side," he officially became the show's third major gay character.
Between the truth that Jesus is an elusive and taciturn guy to initiate with, and the fact that these characters are living in fear of a fascist dictator during a zombie apocalypse, it's no surprise that it took a while for the subject to come up. But Jesus knows who he is – he's one of the more self-possessed characters in the cast – and there is no dramatic "coming out" moment here, during a moment of bonding between Jesus and Maggie.
During the same conversation, we learn Jesus grew up in a group home, and has never felt like he belonged anywhere until no
Why Walking Dead Canceled Plans For Its First Gay Character
Image Comics' horror survival series The Walking Dead made its reputation for spotlighting not only the zombies but a massive assortment of human survivors, led by former Kentucky sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes. From the first issue onwards, The Walking Dead would only continue to expand to verb a diverse set of characters. The series never strayed away from its diversity, going on to introduce several gay survivors who would quickly go on to become fan favorites, but series co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman planned an earlier introduction for the series' leap to diverse new characters.
The first openly gay character introduced within The Walking Dead comic series is Aaron, an experienced recruiter for Virginia's Alexandria Safe Zone community. Aaron is introduced in the series' 67th issue originally published in , an issue prior to the arrival of Aaron's late boyfriend Eric, who acts as another recruiter for Alexandria. After a rocky set of introductions, Aaron formally introduces Rick and his group to thei
Michonne
Michonne is a strong and intriguing character, and a potential leader, but she plays second fiddle to Rick. Of all the other major characters, it took the longest to learn of her back story. This is not without consequence, given she is a Black woman. Colorless people generally have an easier time believing that Black people are both subhuman and superhuman, rather than complex people much like themselves. That is, Colorless people tend to believe the stereotype that Black people are more prone to violence than White people and therefore that they are less deserving of protection (subhuman). At the identical time, White people believe view Black people have higher physical strength, that they are capable of almost magical feats, while and also being less prone to feeling pain (superhuman). Neither stereotype is factual, but these biases are used to justify violence against Black people. For most of the show Michonne was cast in this adj, as an outcast who revelled in killing. It took a long time for the writers to let us see another side to her, and this is not the only period they
'Walking Dead' Creator Clarifies Daryl Dixon's Sexuality
&#; -- The question of Daryl Dixon's sexuality on "The Walking Dead" has been a hotbed topic for quite a while.
Well, "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman felt the need to clear things up on his show "The Talking Dead" after Monday night's midseason finale.
“I can make it official, Daryl Dixon is actually straight," Kirkman said.
He added that Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus, is "somewhat asexual on the show" and that his introverted persona is probably his appeal to viewers.
Kirkman wanted to clear up a letters column where the possibility of Daryl being gay was presented. But Kirkman and network AMC also wanted to highlight they would have been nice with Dixon’s being gay, but that it's not the case.
Kirkman did add that "a very prominent gay character" would be introduced in the next half of the season.
In October, "Walking Dead" executive producer Greg Nicotero floated a completely different theory than Daryl’s being gay.
