For one, there are a lot of gay characters The Last of Us, as Bill, Frank, and Ellie are exampl of this fact. On top of that, some clu sttered the game lead to the possibily that he uld be gay.

In that regard, there are certa clu that uld suggt the possibily that Joel is gay. So, uld Joel be gay The Last of Us? At this pot, is tough to nclu that Joel uld be gay or bisexual The Last of Us.

That means that we n’t really say for certa whether or not he is gay due to the fact that any evince regardg that possibily is not nclive.

But bee the ial observatn is that he is straight, then there is a good chance that he is more likely to be straight than gay or bisexual. But those who believe that Joel is gay might see thgs a different way, as is still que possible that Joel and Ts were simply very good iends.

So, absent any clear and nclive evince, is more likely that Joel is straight due to how there are more clu that pot to him beg straight than him beg gay. After all, Bill and Frank were only hted to be gay the game but were clearly gay HBO’s live-actn versn.
