...queerness. alright, so I'm not sure how this'll go but go with me on this one. my question is, who are some characters that, while not outwardly or never overtly stated to be, could plausibly be read as queer or in the proverbably closet?
I know there is a small school of thought that Alan Scott could be in the closet a la Negative Man on the Doom Patrol show, and even some fans who throw out the possibility of Jon and Damian growing up to be a gay couple. while I'm not saying these are things that are more or less likely to actually happen, I'm curious about if there are any possibly queer coded characters and the rationale behind them.
Me personally, I'm a big proponent that characters like Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian would be more pansexual or sexually fluid due to the postphysical and telepathic nature of Martian society. it just feels extremely unlikely, and honesly unbelievable, that anyone from a telepathic culture of alien shapeshifters would subscribe to the comparatively primitive and antiquated heteronormative culture of select human societies.
