QUEER INK: THE RORSCHACH AND GAY LIBERATN
However, the text do not directly inty eher them as gay; only giv unrton and nuendos. This uld also mean that neher of them are gay as Moore and Gibbons had no problem intifyg Ursula Zandt (Silhouette), The Hood Jtice, and Nelson Gardner (Capta Metropolis) as LGBT; and the latter two were very closeted, though uldn’t keep their relatnship wh each other a secret om their team members. He is extremely socially nservative, homophobic, and misogynist.
One of the biggt unrton that Rorschach’s gay is his iendship wh Dan Dreiberg (Ne Owl II). There’s a b where the two of them are vtigatg Adrian and both Moore and Gibbons draw om the buddy-p genre: a genre full of homoerotic nuendo. Perhaps this also extends to Adrian’s personal life, and Alexanr the Great was eher bisexual or gay.

Intertgly enough, Rorschach pegs Adrian as possibly gay when vtigatg him.
In the movie, I argue that Adrian is portrayed as eher bisexual or gay.
In the openg montage, Adrian is seen hangg out wh the Village People, Mick Jagger, and David Bowie at Stud 54 the 1970s; a time when all the men were synonymo wh gay male culture. In another openg scene, he’s seen wh Andy Warhol and Tman Capote, who were also both gay. If neher Rorschach nor Adrian are gay, ’s rather sad that Moore and Gibbons chose only to clu straight (or asexual) characters the Crimebters, unlike the Mutemen.
