"Significant" DCTV Character Will Explore Sexuality, Come Out This Season

[Holt]

That kind of PC writing

Gay people existing = PC I guess.

Alex is a good guess, but my mind first went to Captain Cold.

[lolgaxe]

Felicity. The entire CWverse revolves around her.

[Alkaidswrath]

She seemed to be attracted to Max Lord, but it never seemed to go anywhere. So she's definitely a candidate.

Crap I forgot about that too! Now I'm back to just thinking it's Wally.

[Sighphi]

i'm thinking roy. since the actor is gay in real life and recently came out.

Malcolm Merlyn

[Holt]

Crap I forgot about that too! Now I'm back to just thinking it's Wally.

Did they say the character in question is specifically gay? Because if it's Alex she could be bi.

[DanCMH]

It's got to be Winn. His role has felt like a gay best friend role since episode one. The actor even wanted Winn to be gay. So maybe he's bi. Sara pitched for both teams for a while. No reason to think Winn couldnt.

[protege]

Vixen? Heatwave would be a nice curve, going for a Bear type.

I might actually like to see that; i'm not sure how you'd do vixen, since she's the current vixen's grandmother

The article specifically says gay. But truly it could be anyone. Formerly straight people come out as gay all the time.

[Frontier]

I would say Wally. They haven't really established him in that respect yet. And I will laugh if it is one of the new characters, like Maggie Sawyer or Obsidian, because they are already know for being gay in the comics.

I doubt it's Wally. He was kinda flirting with Jessie, and it would completely rule out the romance with Linda. He's probably too big a character to do that with.

She seemed to be attracted to Max Lord, but it never seemed to go anywhere. So she's definitely a candidate.

I thought about that too, but it seemed to be less genuine attraction and more Alex making an effort to learn more about Lord and what he's up to.

Alex is also an original character, so there probably wouldn't be that big an issue as it may be if they outed someone who's traditionally straight in the comics. Same with Winn.

[RiverCitySlim]

My bet is on Cisco.

[legion_quest]

Winn should always have been gay, so I'd agree he seems the most likely.

However Wally and Cisco are also great other options. Cisco would be my choice.

Granted, maybe it'll be Kaitlyn, who will just give up on men after one died and one was evil.

[Frontier]

My bet is on Cisco.

I don't know, Cisco seems pretty confident in his attraction to strong, good-looking, female heroes and villains. Though it did cross my mind...

[TOXIC]

Felicity. The entire CWverse revolves around her.

Honest to god, I thought she was a lesbian when she debuted, and I still need to go back and watch her first few encounters because I swear she had a line of dialogue towards Oliver that was telling him she's lesbian so his charm won't work.

[1984]

I only watched about half the season, but surely this is going to be Winn Slott from Supergirl. It's just really easy to imagine it going that way from the earlier half of the series.
