Which franchise will be the first to have an out lgbtiq character in it?

[Silvermoth]

And not just a subtle "maybe they are, maybe they're not" shipping thing.

I actually reckon Star Wars might get their first. I mean, by the time this trilogy is wrapped up it'll be what, 2030 or something like that? Hopefully audiences will be ready by then.

Although, just running with that 'something else' option, mad max would be an intriguing series to have an lgbtiq character in it. It's bold and used to pushing boundaries plus I don't think it's as dependent on international markets as other franchises listed on the poll are.

Jessica Jones had a few. What do you mean though, literally any character or a lead?

 

[Victarion]

The Road Warrior: Lord Humungus's dog of war with the reddish-purple Mohawk was gay. The blonde dude that took a boomerang to the forehead was his lover.

Mad Max: Toecutter's gang had some gay guys in there. Judging from the naked guy that Goose and the other officer saw running through the field. And other stuff.

Mad Max: Fury Road: A couple of the Vulvalini looked to be lovers.

 

[Bruce Malone]

How many more letters have been added? I've heard of LGBT and what the acronym stands for but what exactly do the I and Q stand for?

 

[4thWallBreaker]

As far as major characters? I think FOX's X-verse already has the appropriate archetypes to be diverse like that. So I say them.

But yea, there's already been LBGT characters in MCU and Disney films.

While ambiguous in story, Dumbledore was gay. But that was only mentioned by the author. In the story there's only a slight reference to his solidarity and company in his past. So... Harry Potter already did it?

But I still feel there can be a prominent character that'll be headlining majorly.

Now that I think about it: Harley. Holy ****. She's bi. DCCU/DCEU (I hate DCEU titling), will win out.

 

[Symbiotic]

I'm fully expecting Finn and Poe to become a couple in the official canon. If they don't, I'll be surprised.

 

[dude stannis]

Incestous and Questioning.

Actually I have no idea what the 'I' stands for.

 

[chaseter]

The Q stands for quasar. It means aliens. Aliens want to be included.

 

[Farren]

I is for Intersex. Q is for Queer but also Questioning so some acronyms have two Qs.

(I voted for Harry Potter).

 

[redhawk23]

Dumbledore is confirmed gay. That's not a fan theory. Just a fact dropped by Rowling. Its not mentioned in the movies and doesn't factor into the main story, but that was somewhat part of the point.

As for the books though, that knowledge provides a lot of context for the backstory presented for Dumbledore late in the series. The story of Dumbledore and Grindewald is quite sad when you just assume they were best buds but even more sad when you realize they were probably lovers.

 

[redhawk23]

Also, this all depends if you want to count Marvel's Netflix shows which do indeed exist as part of their cinematic universe.

Jessica Jones has a major season long subplot featuring a middle aged lesbian love triangle/divorce.

 

[batfreakforever]

Don't care as long as the character is compellingly and interesting but don't shove their sexuality in our face for no reason. Use their sexuality to say and do something positive and inspiring and goes with the story. People need all types of hero/characters to look up to.

 

[Rocketman]

Fox's X-Men would be easiest.
Plus, Singer basically made the entire series a metaphor for LGBTIQQ, or was that already pretty blatant in the comics?

I always took mutants in the comics to be anyone looked at as outcasts by society, whereas I think Singer took it another direction.

 

[jmc]

Is there some sort of committee that adds more letters to the acronym? It seems to be getting longer every time I see it.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'm not sure, but it almost seemed like they were implying Jessica is bisexual as well. There was that scene where Carrie-Ann Moss called her and Jessica said something like, "If this is a booty call, your timing is perfect." She was joking of course but it almost seemed like they were hinting at something there.

 

[Mad Ones]

The acronym is long because the amount of sexual and gender identities have proliferated in the past few decades. It's not straight/gay, us/them anymore. It's a whole spectrum now.

I want to see a non-hetero super/action hero. I've given up hope mostly.

 

[Marvolo]

Star wars has at least one lesbian character in the new canon. Admiral Rae Sloane of the Imperial Navy. And another small character mentions having two fathers. Im sure more non hetero characters will appear in the canon.

 

[Snow Queen]

2019. Overshot a bit there.

Films only at this point. Tv is running to a different canon as yet

No metaphors and hints. Has to be out loud and proud. Not ambiguous or revealed later with no backstory.

Don't care as long as the character is compellingly and interesting but don't shove their sexuality in our face for no reason. Use their sexuality to say and do something positive and inspiring and goes with the story. People need all types of hero/characters to look up to.

No sexuality gets "shoved in anyone's faces". Not sure why people keep using that line

The MCU and Agents of Shield and Marvels Netflix series are all within the same canon.

And about sexuality being "shoved in anyone's faces". Heterosexuality ia shoved in our faces all the time on tv and movies. Hetero characters routinely hook up and kiss in movies and shows. But very few people bat an eye at that. So when someone says, "I dont want sexuality shoved in my face", what they really mean is, "Ew I dont want your icky gay love making me feel uncomfortable."

Intersex? Also, what exactly does Queer mean in this context?

Then DCCU/DCEU is set on course.

I agree. People should stop whining. Then again, I do understand not wanting a lecture about LGBT things or an overly zealous "we accept you" speech from other casts. Just...they're gay, ok, story moves on. Like Whedon did with Willow in Buffy. It was not a big deal. Flowed right through it. No, "Oh my gorsh, you're gay?! WHAT?!" Or, "let's hang on this note the entire episode or season or series." Nope. Right back to being a badass witch.

 

[Mad Ones]

Usually refers to gender noncomforming in the acronym.

 

[redhawk23]

Don't care as long as the character is compellingly and interesting but don't shove their sexuality in our face for no reason. Use their sexuality to say and do something positive and inspiring and goes with the story. People need all types of hero/characters to look up to.

There is however a bit of a double standard with this kind of rhetoric. Have a straight romance and its just basic story tropes. Have a gay romance and everyone complains about having it "shoved down their throats."

 

[redhawk23]

Intersex? Also, what exactly does Queer mean in this context?

People born with both or otherwise ambiguous parts.
