I me across the issue aga readg on DC Infe and as an adult I started to wonr if Marv Wolfman had possibly tend to make Jericho one of the first gay ic characters. So as to your qutn, I thk the answer is more of a no, Jericho of the Teen Tans was NOT origally tend to be gay, but 's very tricky. When Perez and Wolfman were creatg the character, their ial tent was to have him be gay.
Perez explaed to the Gay League why they cid to change their md, "While Marv and I did discs the possibily of Joseph Wilson beg gay, Marv cid that was too much of a stereotype to have the sensive, artistic, and wi-eyed character wh arguably effemate featur be also homosexual. Te or false that he was origally meant to be gay? I thk that's jt too much of a stretch to say that Jericho was ever "origally meant to be gay.
How did Marv Wolfman retroactively make Jericho gay? The tertg thg, of urse, was even after apparently cidg to NOT make Jericho gay, Wolfman (wh Perez off of the book to draw Crisis on Infe Earths and then The History of the DC Universe and then Wonr Woman) sure seemed to ht that he WAS.

" Another rear wrote to Teen Tans Spotlight askg about the posibily of Jericho beg gay, and was unanswered, and then Wolfman did three-part story Teen Tans Spotlight (wh art by Ross And and Dennis Jensen), that revolved around the fact that Joe had a former female fiancée.
