Would you care if Diana's main love interest was a woman?

[Lex Luthor]

Hopefully, we could leave shipping out of this somehow because I don't want to rub the SteveTrevor or Super/Wonder shippers the wrong way. Writers have played with the idea of her not being straight or her not thinking the same way we would about sexuality/gender because she grew up on Themyscira but none of them have ever really come out ( no pun intended) with it and show Diana in a relationship with a woman. Would her having a primary female love interest bother you? Would you care if she was written as a lesbian all together?


I kind of feel as though the fact that her and Steve is still relatively new after being absent for over 3 decades and because S/W was short lived it wouldn't matter very much to most people unless they just don't like the idea of her being lesbian or bi.

[Agent Z]

I've shipped Diana with Artemis and Io, so, no it wouldn't bother me.

DC and the Wonder Woman writers have been beating around the bush for too long here. Past time they showed Diana in a romantic relation with a woman.

We just got Steve back... I just wanna enjoy it for a while...

I'd care in the sense that such a development is MOST WELCOME and ridiculously LONG OVERDUE!

I have nothing against Steve Trevor. And, if he'd gotten the same kind of consistent, long-term attention and development that Catwoman, Talia, Lois Lane, Mera, etc have received then I would probably be more resistant to him losing his place as Diana's love interest. But, he's not a fixture (in that role) in my mind for all Wonder Woman stories.

I wouldn't care if Diana was written as a lesbian (as opposed to bisexual or pansexual), but I don't think such a development would be consistent with her character. Sure, she may have been ... situationally a lesbian on Themyscira because her only possible love interests were women, but I think she'd be more open minded in man's world. And that's not limiting her to male (or female) humans. I think she'd potentially be open to pursuing a relationship with mystical beings, aliens and all sorts of other non-humans which populate the DC universe wherever they sit on the gender / binary spectrum.

Why would Diana dating a woman mean Steve disappears?

[Vordan]

I’ve been for DC to actually show off Diana’s bisexuality instead of just paying lip service to it for years.

[theoneandonly]

I wonder if her bisexuality was ever acted upon would her relationship with Donna and Cassie be misconstrued just like Batman and Robin's was by some.

I meant as the love interest. Unless you want Di dating two people at once.. which would be interesting

I’m all for someone Di dated back on the island as a Lana Lang type in flashbacks or year one stories but Steve is her Lois Lane

Steve's arguably closer to her Lana Lang than her Lois. In most continuities they don't end up together at all, including the recent movie.

It would be about time!

She lived for 3000+ years in an all woman society, it us just natural her romantic and carnal interest would be for women and not men.

What really puzzles me is how can't writers and editors see this and show it in the series��

Not necessarily. What you don't know, you can't miss it. So in the Island it was obvious she was we women (Kasia) but now she has more options. The fact she chose Steve reflect that option, which doesn't mean she is not attracted to women too.
Note that i don't mind author exploring this part of her sexuality but as a flashback only.

Since when is Diana 3000+?

Considering that she's the only child on the Island in most continuities it would make all kinds of sense for her to NOT be involved with any of the Amazons romantically. That's like dating your aunt or older sister.

Ideas like this are exactly why I'm against it. Wonder Woman was created to tear down stereotypes and preconceived notions.

[lotchj]

If I can be honest!! I have no interest in reading about WW love interest being a female! I'd rather read about her love interests being Steve or Superman.
