He was one of the first gay characters on the show, and his love tert was Eric Raleigh, played by Jordan Woods-Robson.

Though the bullet went through him, we saw Aaron pull Eric by some tre to safety, and go back to he returns, he see’s a bloodied tree tnk, Eric’s rifle, and to his sorrow Eric, now a walker, wanrg away towards a nearby Ross Marquand Really Gay? Aaron is a gay character om The Walkg Dead. After Robert Kirkman dropped hts on The Talkg Dead that the show would be troducg s first gay male character, fans have been wag for to happen and looks like fally has.

THE WALKG DEAD STAR SAYS GAY ROMANCE BETWEEN AARON AND J HAPPENED OFFSCREEN

His name is Aaron and, if the ic books are anythg to go by, he is that gay character fans have been wag for. In the show’s source material, Aaron and his partner Eric (as a few have poted out, Aaron would be the show’s first gay male character) were recers for the Alexandria Safe-Zone, a walled-off muny that our survivors have lled home for several years now.

Before Aaron or Pl "J" Monroe me to the picture, The Walkg Dead was set to troduce s first gay character much earlier the story. The seri never strayed away om s diversy, gog on to troduce several gay survivors who would quickly go on to bee fan favor, but seri -creator and wrer Robert Kirkman planned an earlier troductn for the seri' leap to diverse new characters. The first openly gay character troduced wh The Walkg Dead ic seri is Aaron, an experienced recer for Virgia's Alexandria Safe Zone muny.

WHY WALKG DEAD CANCELED PLANS FOR ITS FIRST GAY CHARACTER

It's nearly two years later when the ic troduc yet another major gay character Pl "J" Monroe. The letters pag of The Walkg Dead Deluxe #50 reveal exactly who Kirkman tend to have as the seri' first major gay survivor, and 's none other than The Governor's former litenant, Martez.

THE WALKG DEAD SOP: NEWER ROSS MARQUAND JOS CAST AS… PIVOTAL GAY COMIC CHARACTER?

In discsg his cisn to scrap the reveal that Martez was gay, Kirkman mented, "I remembered that I was planng to have Rick beat him to ath—then I thought, probably not the bt thg to do wh your first proment gay character. The Walkg Dead Was Wise To Change Its First Openly Gay Character.

Martez beg troduced as the first openly gay character, only to have himself beaten by Rick a few issu later would have drastilly taken away the momentum that Kirkman had planned wh the reveal. Future gay characters like Pl Monroe are not only pable of handg themselv but n be tsted nfidant and close iends to Rick throughout the remar of the seri.

It's poetic that two of the seri' most fan-favore and perseverg gay characters, Pl and Aaron, would end the seri as lovers.

'THE WALKG DEAD' JT CONFIRMED THAT J IS GAY

I hope they do add GAY people jt so people like you don’t spoil my favore show.

I’m sure gay people everywhere love that you ed ps, jt se the ignorance of your ment didn’t stand out. Do the zombi have some gay-smellg-radar that I don’t know about?

Why do so many shows have a gay or lbian plot to ? Bee this world, PEOPLE ARE GAY AND LESBIAN. Payne said last year that he saw no reason why his on-screen J wouldn't be gay, as he is the ics, and tonight's episo "The Other Si, " he officially beme the show's third major gay character.
