DC INTRODUCED ITS FIRST GAY SUPERHERO ON TV EARLIER THAN YOU THK

The character was af the origal ics and actor Chella Man is also af, lendg the role some much need Patrol went further still s first season by foregroundg the trma of Negative Man, a leadg character on the seri who stggled to pe wh guilt rived om his ternalised homophobia. Openly gay producer Greg Berlanti once told Fandom that reprentatn has "gotten a lot better" when to TV, but until this is acknowledged on the big screen too, DC movi are still worlds away om reprentg the world we live up-to-the-mute entertament news and featur? Unregnized for havg DC's first nfirmed gay superhero on televisn, Static Shock subtly brought LGBTQIA+ reprentatn before the Arrowverse.

Before CW's Arrow, Batwoman, or Legends of Tomorrow, DC troduced s first gay superhero to TV the Static Shock animated seri, far earlier than most people thk. However, few knew that late Static Shock creator Dwayne McDuffie was subtle about , but not aaid to add a gay character to the Saturday morng experience.

However, while many may dismiss as a wish for more reprentatn on Saturday morngs, clu the ics and the words of the late creator himself tablish that Gear was gay, predatg a majory of DC TV's current LGBTQIA+ characters. He noted that he'd always nsired Gear to be gay and softly hted at this throughout the show’s n. In sence, this ma Static Shock's Richie DC’s first nfirmed gay superhero on televisn.

DC TV WATCH: ‘GOTHAM’S’ GAY TWIST, IS ‘SUPERGIRL’ NEXT?

Wh the upg adaptatn velopment, perhaps Richie Foley, or even the origal Rick Stone, will be seen, not only as a gay in but also as the hero Dwayne McDuffie imaged him to be. DC TV Watch: ‘Gotham’s’ Gay Twist, Is ‘Supergirl’ Next? After a tumultuo year which TV shows kept killg off gay or queer characters, supportg the ntroversial “Bury Your Gays” trope, Gotham is flippg the script on the inic Batman non wh at least one of s villas, as Pengu revealed to his maid that he had romantic feelgs for his bt iend and mayoral chief of staff.

After this week’s Supergirl, all signs pot to Kara’s (Melissa Benoist) adoptive sister Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh), as she h off wh openly gay tective Maggie Sawyer (Floriana Lima). Together, they worked to solve a se and Maggie opened Alex’s ey about beg accepted for who you are, whether that means beg an alien or beg gay. SPOILER::RANT::::SPOILER:: DC Diversy on LGBT issu and how trolls anythg remotely gay portrayed DC TV shows.

As a gay non-bary person, every time there is a gay posive event DC televisn, whether be Pengu havg feelgs for Riddler Gotham or Kalr sharg a 2 send kiss wh another man Young Jtice, I get so exced to see posive LGBT role mols portrayed. And every time I’m smacked the face by dumb trolls beg outright homophobic bc DC dared show someone kiss someone of the same sex. I jt hope she n overe the blatant and disgtg homophobia that plagu nerd ? culture the hop that LGBT people like me n enjoy her onle prence whout walkg away feelg gay-bashed jt om readg the ments.

Debutg 1992 and starrg gay voice actor Kev Conroy, Batman: The Animated Seri was jt one of many ic-based rtoons hopg to break the nventnal kids’ show formulas. However, Static Shock was one of the first DC rtoons to nfirm a nonilly gay character created for the show while was still airg. Startg as Static’s lightfully nerdy IT guy and eventually evolvg to the hyper-telligent superhero Gear, his late creator Dwayne McDuffie tablished the character as gay (via MiltoneWorld - warng: triggerg language the ments).
