Nah bruh. Winn was giving Shioban the D every chance he got. And if Kara ever gave him a shot he'd work hard for her too.

No way! Everyone knows that a cardigan is a sure fire sign of a closeted gay man coming to grips with his sexuality. A crush on an adorkable and super-powered female friend and a dalliance with an attractive lady psychopath are par for course on any gay man's journey out of the closet.

I know that it's 99% certain that Alex will be revealed to be gay, especially since Maggie Sawyer is being introduced, but I'll continue to harbour hope for Winn (and otherwise console myself by watching YouTube clips of Jeremy Jordan singing medleys of Disney songs).
 
Winn been gay would not make sense at all, given he was in love with Kara and his dalliances with Siobhan. I know people in the closest tend to go with women etc but his reactions to anytime Kara nearly hooked up with Jimmy show he's clearly a straight man.

I think going through all the shows if it's a character that's already existed then I think for sure its Alex.
 
Well...I never thought that the topic would turn into this.


Personally, i don't think any of our established characters appear as though they could be "in the closet".

And I've never been fond of the idea of changing a character's orientation (whatever it may originally be) because of wanting to have more of a representation for a targeted group/demographics. It feels forced imho.

Well the reason it's been discussed is they've said a character will end up coming out. Now going by the characters in each show Alex seems the most likely as they've never really stated one way or the other if she's into anyone. I'm currently rewatching season one and knowing a character is coming out I'd be shocked if it wasn't her.
 
Yay! An actor who I admired and who I haven't seen on screen in a long time. Much like Tabrett Bethell and many others!

Dichen was on Agents of SHIELD not so long ago in the season before last

Where has that been said?
 
Came from Kriesberg back in August

"One of the characters on one of the shows is going to be exploring their sexuality and coming out,”

http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/11/cw-superhero-gay-character

Well from that link it could be any show then, not particularly Supergirl.

But maybe it would make more sense for that to happen on Legends of Tomorrow since it would already have White Canary to be on hand to help. Unless they mean her, which wouldn't make sense since she's already out.

Having Winn be the one seems too stereotypical.

Of course it doesn't mean it's Supergirl but when I go through each show I look at the cast members and the one I come to is Alex.

Not sure if this is a recent set pic but who cares, it ain't like I need an excuse to post Melissa's photo.... :woot::woot:

It was apparently subsequently stated/confirmed that Flash and Supergirl were the two shows on which a pre-existing character would be coming out, with many leaning towards it happening on Supergirl given that the plotline is something that they had wanted to do "last season" and just didn't have the time for organically.
 
That is certainly a conversation to start a new thread out with...
 
Melissa Benoist on the set of Supergirl on September 12th, 2016 in Vancouver, Canada. :ilv::ilv:

Her suit looks so blue. The reds so red. Has a filter been applied to that?

Looking back at some previous interviews I think it may end up being Alex now. I remember that someone had asked the producers on whether sparks would fly between Alex and Maggie and it was noted that the producer remained silent on it.

If that ends up being the case then go figure. I thought Alex was straight since it looked like she had some sexual tension with Maxwell Lord last season. Maybe she'll end up bi like Sara then.lol

Why would sparks fly between Maggie and Chyler? Why would they ask such a question unless Chlyer Danvers is already suspected to be bi?

Calista Flockhart did a bi-try in Ally McBeal with Lucy Liu but decided it wasn't for her.
 
I remember finding it interesting that no one even entertained the possibility that she was actually attracted to Max last season when she was leading him on (even when she told Kara about their date, Kara's only concern was about her lying to him and getting caught - if I were Kara, I'd be worried that my sister was possibly attracted to my worst enemy, but she wasn't), so Alex being gay would kinda make sense to me.
 
I think if it were Winn that would be far too much of a cliche and quite a 180 turn. And I don't think it's J'onn and obviously not Jimmy or Kara or Cat or Lucy or Clark.
 
Yeah, Winn would make less sense to me.

Actually I think I did....I remember talking about how that would definitely be a way to bring some heat into Kara and Alex's sister relationship....Alex fall for Max, the guy that all the way back in Episode 4/5 she (Kara) was on to him....

As far as an established character being bi or gay....I'm not sure that they necessarily need or should go that way. I think there are some fantastic characters being written in the comics right now that they could bring in.....one they are already bringing in....and then I would love for them to bring in Alan Scott (Green Lantern) who is gay in the comics....I would love to see him on the show...or any of the shows for that matter.

But, if they decided to have Winn, Alex or James come out of the closet....that wouldn't be a big deal to me, I just don't really see that as the launch pad for bringing in more diversity, I think there are other avenues they could go down to do that...
 
Just to be clear, I meant no one in the show entertained the possibility of Alex being into Max, not in the fandom. I'm sure there are Alex/Max shippers out there.

And I agree with the other stuff, but they've already said it's a major established character on Flash or Supergirl who is gay, so I'm just saying Alex appears the most likely to me on either show.

I don't think "according to the script, no one entertained the idea...." but the actors definitely saw the possibility, and Melissa was not happy about it....LOL

But, as far as Alex being gay, I don't see a big deal with that, but there are those that don't see a need for it to be an established character, and I can see their point as well.
