Is captain cold gay
It would seem that Greg Berlanti loves to make fans play guessing games. Much of season four of Arrow revolved around the question “who’s in the grave?” Even if you were disappointed with the answer, you can’t deny that he lead us all on a merry chase. Now a new guessing game begins with the announcement that a character from one of his four shows will “be exploring their sexuality and coming out”
This could be significant character from Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, or Supergirl. Everyone is being tight-lipped about it – executive producer Sarah Schecter even quipped “It’s a man or a woman and it’s on one of the four shows” Berlanti was also quoted saying, “It is a significant character, were not trying to be coy about it.” This seems like a subscribe that they’ll grab the plotline seriously. I’m sure the fandom will soon be alight with speculation, so allow me throw my hat into the ring.
Arrow is the least likely exhibit to feature this character because they have enough to deal with this season. Most of the team went their separate ways in the last season finale and Oliver will hold to train several new recruits. Echo Kellum also plays an openly lgbtq+ man an
Legends of Tomorrow: Why Wentworth Miller's Captain Cold Was Killed Off
Wentworth Miller, who played Leonard Snart AKA Captain Frozen in The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, left the Arrowverse in 2017 but the reasons why were never made evident. Miller starred in Prison Break alongside Dominic Purcell before the duo unified The Flash as two of the Scarlet Speedster's most popular rogues, with Purcell becoming Snart's partner-in-crime, Mick Rory AKA Heatwave. In 2016, Snart and Rory were recruited as founding members of the Legends of Tomorrow, but Captain Cold was killed off by the end of season 1.
Captain Cold has been a major part of the Arrowverse since The Flash season 1 and multiple versions of the frozen fiend from distinct continuities in the Multiverse have appeared, who were both good and wicked. The original Leonard Snart fans met battled Barry Allen and Team Flash along with Mick Rory and his sister, Lisa Snart AKA Golden Glider (Peyton List). The Flash continually urged Snart to shift good and he got his chance to redeem himself for his crimes when Rip Tracker (Arthur Darville) picked Captain Cold and Heatwave to be the first incarnation of the Legends.

LGBT Characters Own Flourished In The Comics Over The Last Two Decades But How Far Has The Closet Door Opened In Film And Television?
MARVEL COMICS
It was Alpha Flight #106 when Marvel History was made (again). It happened when the mutant Northstar uttered three short words: “I am gay!” It wasn’t a hoax. It wasn’t a dream. It wasn’t an imaginary tale. John Byrne, the creator of Northstar, had always intended the character to be gay. Northstar first appeared in Uncanny X-Men 120 and then editor-in-chief Jim Shooter had a strict editorial policy of no gays. Homosexual characters were also forbidden by the Comics Code of Approval. So, for many years, it was only hinted at that Northstar was gay. There was even a point when Bill Mantlo was writing the character where Northstar was to have contracted AIDS but that was swiftly removed by (adding insult to injury) retconning Northstar’s and his twin sister Aurora’s origin to create them offspring of faeries! Thankfully, the retcon was quickly re-retconned back out and Northstar and Aurora were once again mutants.
In 1992, Alph
I don’t normally comment on submissions but since you added no commentary here, I’m a little lost as to why you submitted this? I’m very much aware that Wentworth Miller has stated that he sees Len (Earth 1 in particular) as pansexual) :)
I think this is about my comments about his sexuality across Earths being “not-straight” but not specifically labelled? If so, I meant it’s not explicitly labelled in canon, and different people have unlike degrees of acceptance for “word of god” interpretations by authors (or actors) compared to what’s presented in canon. As an example, I very much believe that we can and should interpret Spiderman as bisexual in the Amazing Spider-Man movies because Andrew Garfield was trying to make him bi, but I also acknowledge that the canon presentation of that character in all iterations is heterosexual and thanks to bullshit biphobia him being straight is now specifically contractually obligated (i.e., Andrew Garfield deserved so much better).
Beyond that though, my comments really had more to perform with the fact that we can’t say for sure what his label is (i.
