Who should be the next gay character?

[mugiwara]

(forgot to say: it's a multiple choice poll)

I've seen complains that all solo series featuring a gay or lesbian character have been cancelled.
It was bound to happen, since most characters can't sustain a solo.
So if Marvel wants a LGBT ongoing that doesn't get cancelled, they should out one of the characters who proved they can survive at least two years on the market (or one of the characters "cough Carol cough" who will always be pushed, no matter what)

Who should that be?

Personnally, I'd rather pick one of the younger characters (both in universe and as a published character). Miles, Kamala, Amadeus or Doreen.
Less shitstorm, less justification about why they stayed so long in the closet.
Squirrel Girl being sold to a (from what I heard) more diverse and younger public than most other Marvel comics, I guess she would be a nice choice. Not to mention that she'll be on TV.

People act like the idea of Bobby Drake being gay was picked out of a hat and not a constant source of speculation for years before the reveal.

Given that, I voted Other for Kitty Pryde.

Given that, I voted Other for Kitty Pryde.

Cancelled after one year..
I've seen specualations at least about Thor, Tony, Miles and Logan too.

[Mackandal]

Yeah, I vote for one of the 18724804 X-Men that are already queer.

None.

Marvel should work on creating new gay characters, build them up and give them exposure.

That would be up to Marvel Editorial.

Magik should be a lesbian. And Kitty Pryde bi. Rachel Grey, either of them. Logan and Laura could be bi too.

I won't dive into dozens of threads in different forums.
For Logan, I can at least remember some suggestion about him and Nightcrawler, based on their friendship and a suggestive cover. Also about him and Hercules, from one of their brawls.
Thor is a god, he is thousands of years old, so some people assume he can't be 100 % straight.
There had been talks about Miles and Ganke in the beginning of USM.

As longs a Illyana is with a woman who's not Kitty... Although I'd prefer her to be straight like in NM v1, but that's because I'm a filthy contrarian.
I added Laura in the poll, but honnestly? She's a clone of Logan, so if being in the same team as Jean didn't throw her out of the closet, nothing will.

In other words, because they have close relationships with another male character, they're gay?

I just want Laura and Mercury to be a couple at some point.

How about we just leave straight characters straight? I would, however, love to see a Northstar series.

Other - time for an A-List gay villain.

Step forward Baron Zemo, we all know the score.

Hercules in his full bi glory.
