Gay characters in the walking dead
I have been a fan of zombies for years now, something that started because of the Resident Evil game series. This is why I started to watch AMC’s The Walking Dead, a TV show based on the comics of the matching name. One of the main characters in the show is fan-favorite Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), and recently Robert Kirkman made a statement about the crossbow wielding survivor’s sexuality.
The question about Daryl’s sexuality was asked about in a fan letter for The Walking Dead #130. In the letter, the fan drew parallels between Daryl and Jesus. For those of you who don’t know, Jesus is quite a tough personality in the comic guide series and he’s also gay. He appeared in issue 91 and his sexuality was revealed in issue 122. The readers were quite surprised because of the reveal, and I appreciate that Kirkman decided to do it this way. It really tells readers not to take everything at encounter value and immediately contemplate a character is unbent because their sexuality isn’t stated when they build their first appearance. It’s similar to what Smash the Floor did close the end of Season 2.
Just like Jesus, authentic name Paul Monroe, Daryl’s sexuality hasn’t been mentioned in the TV series eit

The Walking Dead has frequently included marginalized people and minorities as important characters and that type of representation is more than welcome. The show has included multiple black, Asian, gay, and even one deaf ethics but they are not seen as black, Asian, same-sex attracted, or deaf. Rather, they blend in with the other characters to reveal that they’re not as different as other people consider. However, anyone who has watched The Walking Dead knows that many people die (as is to be expected in the zombie apocalypse) and some deaths really punch hard. In the latest season, two popular gay characters were killed off rather violently and fans were not happy about that. Hearing such complaints from the fans, Angela Kang, The Walking Dead‘s showrunner, has opened up about the decision to kill off two LGBTQ characters, reports Comicbook.com
The two same-sex attracted characters that were killed in season nine are Jesus, played by Tom Payne, and Tara, played by Alanna Masterson. The two characters died stormy deaths, with one getting stabbed to death and the other decapitated. I enjoyed both of those characters as they

Why Walking Dead Canceled Plans For Its First Gay Character
Image Comics' horror survival series The Walking Dead made its reputation for spotlighting not only the zombies but a massive assortment of human survivors, led by former Kentucky sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes. From the first issue onwards, The Walking Dead would only persist to expand to include a diverse set of characters. The series never strayed away from its diversity, going on to show several gay survivors who would rapidly go on to become fan favorites, but series co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman planned an earlier introduction for the series' leap to diverse fresh characters.
The first openly gay character introduced within The Walking Dead comic series is Aaron, an experienced recruiter for Virginia's Alexandria Harmless Zone community. Aaron is introduced in the series' 67th issue originally published in 2009, an issue prior to the arrival of Aaron's late crush Eric, who acts as another recruiter for Alexandria. After a rocky position of introductions, Aaron formally introduces Rick and his organization to their durable home within Alexandria. It's nearly two years later when the comic introduces yet anot
