When Word of God explains that a character was actually LGBTQ+ outside of the series, choosing to portray them as Ambiguously Gay or with an Ambiguous Gender Identity (at most) in the actual story. This may be because of Media Watchdogs, local laws preventing stories with gay or trans characters from being sold, or fear of backlash. It can also be due to Conservation of Detail. On the other hand, most readers will assume a character is heterosexual and cisgender if the story doesn't state otherwise. Thus, this may be a publicity appeal to a LGBTQ+ audience while not upsetting that part of the audience who feels uneasy about this. Or it could just be one big publicity stunt. To LGBTQ+ fans and allies, it can come off as a cop-out: Saying "Oh, guess what? Bob, whom we never hinted about in the slightest? Totally gay!" after the series is safely over is not an adequate substitute for having the courage to actually include LGBTQ+ characters. Others, however, don't really mind since it allows the character to be seen for more than just their LGBTQ+ status, and avoids stereotypical portrayals or the character being defined by being LGBTQ+ and nothing more. It also works well for a series that isn't focused on romance of any kind. A Relationship Reveal is often another way to out an ambiguously gay character. See also Homoerotic Subtext. |

In His Dark Materials, it's briefly mentioned that there is a small minority of people whose daemons are the same gender as themselves, but no explanation is given for it. When a fan asked Philip Pullman if it meant those people were gay, Pullman replied that he hadn't thought about it, but he liked that reasoning. It does raise some questions about bisexuals, however. Maybe their daemons can be either sex? | |

Ian Flynn and several other writers have stated the only reason they aren't an Official Couple is that Sega prohibits the cast from being in romantic relationships. | |

For Pride Month 2018, Sleepless Domain author Mary Cagle tweeted artwork of her LGBTQ characters with their relevant Pride flags. Transgender for Zoe, Gay Pride for Team Melty, and Pansexual for Outrageous Lime. Zoe had already been confirmed shortly before this art was posted while Melty Flame and Melty Frost were Sickeningly Sweethearts from moment one. Outrageous Lime, however, has only been seen or mentioned a few times, with only two related to her sexuality. The first was surprise that she had a boyfriend ("As in a boy boy?") and, on first seeing Heartful Punch and Undine together, remarking "So that was your type", prompting HP to hastily try and change the subject while Lime brushes it off because "she has a guy now". | |

Averted with Murky of the Origami Yoda series. He was bullied because some kids thought he was gay, and naturally, people asked author Tom Angleberger if he was actually gay. Angleberger said that he didn't know, because Murky probably wouldn't figure out his sexual orientation until high school, and he was only in middle school. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Rotor Walrus, according to former head writer Ken Penders. In the "Mobius: X Years Later" story he wrote, Rotor is frequently seen with another scientist echidna named Cobar, who was intended to be his life partner. However, his successor, Ian Flynn, declined to follow up on this, saying he considered it non-canon due to it having essentially no backing in the comic itself, as well as the fact Ken Penders didn't state this until after he had left the comic. On the other hand, nothing in Ian Flynn's run on the comic has contradicted it, either. According to Ken Penders, a statement Eggman made to Rotor after Sonic's return from space was meant to indicate he knew of Rotor's preference, and was to set up a storyline where he used that knowledge against him. Also, when first revealing his intention to make Rotor gay, he put up a question to the fans on which characters he was planning on giving the Word to - half of the answers came back to Rotor and Tommy Turtle, a minor character in the comic that had been given a significance in the ANONYMOUS arc, but was denied by Penders, as the turtle had died for good, by then. When the comic was ultimately cancelled, Ian Flynn revealed there was majorly heavy subtext towards two Freedom Fighters in this way — Princess Sally Acorn and Nicole the Holo-Lynx. This can be seen in the Sonic Universe storyline "Spark of Life" with Sally asking Big his opinion on Nicole and smiling warmly at his kind-hearted reply, the flashback to Nicole's first appearance as a hologram, telling Sally she wished to see the stars the same way she did and Sally's impassioned What the Hell, Hero? to Dr. Ellidy. However, Flynn would walk back on this in his podcast. |

She's also stated that there's a bisexual man in the Secret Six. She later revealed on Tumblr that it's Catman, and the next time she used him in a book she planned to make it explicit, since the story arc where she planned to reveal it got Cut Short by the DC relaunch and the cancellation of the book. She even compared this to Dumbledore and how she felt bad about revealing it outside the series, though it wasn't actually her choice. She made good on this promise when the book was relaunched and the first issue shows him on a date with both a man and a woman at the same time. | |

The Haunting (1963): Theodora was clearly marked as a gay character except it was never stated. When later asked about it, both director Robert Wise and her actress Claire Bloom were perfectly clear that she was a lesbian, and the only reason it was left unsaid was that it was made in 1963. In the 1999 remake and the 2018 TV show, Theo is portrayed as bisexual and a lesbian respectively. | |

There's definitely a lot of subtext in Cable & Deadpool. For that matter, there's a lot of text. There's also a popular rumor that Fabian Nicieza (who wrote 48 out of the 50 issues) referred to it as a romance story, but no actual proof was ever given to it. Nicieza, though, was asked in an interview once who would he rather have as a roommate, Cable or Deadpool. His answer? Cable, because Deadpool would try to spoon him. | |

While some other members of the Lyrical Nanoha production crew are infamously dodgy about the subject, according to an interview with director Masaki Tsuzuki (the creator of the Nanoha franchise) and the voice actresses of Fate and Nanoha, they are indeed lesbians, at least in the series' primary continuity. In this article,◊ the two VAs mention that in 10 years since A's, Nanoha will be a housewife for Fate. The original writer, Tsuzuki, also says Vivio "frequently keeps in contact with Fate-mama, as often as contacting the father who works away from home, with a communication tool." Nana Mizuki ups the ante by creating a schedule of Nanoha and Fate's daily routine and she notes that Nanoha and Fate spend time alone with each other every night from 22:00 to 1:00. | |

Harry Potter has Albus Dumbledore. J. K. Rowling revealed he was gay after the end of the series as a result of a fan asking her if he'd ever found love himself. He kept out of romantic relationships because he once fell for a man and neglected his family, resulting in horrible consequences and the death of his sister (and that's not even getting into the fact that said man was Gellert Grindelwald, who would go on to become the equivalent of Wizard Hitler, as the previous Dark Lord before Voldemort). Essentially, Dumbledore is gay, but a Celibate Hero. During a scriptwriting meeting for one of the Harry Potter films, she handed back a script page in which Dumbledore spoke about a girl he "knew" once with a note saying "He's gay!" Enforced for books prior to the sixth: before it was repealed in 2003 (2000 in Scotland), the notorious homophobic law Section 2A to the Local Government Act 1986 (popularly known as "clause 28") forbade local authorities from "promoting homosexuality", which in practice was interpreted as banning any books containing sympathetic gay characters from state school libraries. | |

Don McGregor has said that Taku, a supporting character from his Black Panther run, was gay. He was unable to make this explicit thanks to the more conservative atmosphere of the '70s (though the subtext is definitely there in Taku's interactions with Venomm) but has since confirmed it in interviews. This finally became canon in 2022, when they returned in a Marvel's Voices story as a married couple. | |

She's said that she considers Black Canary of Birds of Prey bisexual. She famously wanted to include a line where Canary called herself "75% heterosexual" but due to script confusion and placeholder dialog the line became "heterosexual to the bone" against her wishes. And the version of Canary in the TV adaptation Arrow, while not the same character as in the comics, is explicitly bisexual. | |

Discworld Tonker and Lofty were confirmed to be a couple in Monstrous Regiment. It was blazingly obvious in the source material, but the viewpoint character (who actually realized they were together before she realized they were both women) was completely unable to process the concept and chose not to acknowledge it. Terry Pratchett also satrised the Dumbledore announcement by by posting on the Discworld Emporium forums "Rincewind would like to annouce that he is gay. Since he never gets any, it really doesn't make much difference which any he doesn't get, and at least he might get a brief reputation for social awareness:-)" Note that this was three years after writing Monstrous Regiment, so he actually had gay characters. |

Lalasa in Protector of the Small was a lesbian, but Pierce didn't think it was important enough to put into the books. There is quite a bit of subtext around her and her "friend" Tian, though. | |

The Order of the Stick: Downplayed with Bandana. Though the author included a moment in the story where she mentioned an ex-girlfriend, he had to confirm on the forums that she was a lesbian rather than bisexual. Vaarsuvius was implied to be genderqueer within Book 5's author commentary, but then it was solidly confirmed during Rich Burlew's first Patreon Q&A. He added V would never actually identify that way because Elves don't really have gender categories anyway. |

Subverted in Las Lindas. Despite the vast amount of subtext, SoulKat has stated that Tootsie is not gay, and in fact, merely wishes Alejandra were a man. SK has also stated that there has never been, nor will there ever be, any gay characters in the comic. In the bonus comics on site, however, several if not all of the characters are now gay/bisexual, though this is expressly stated to be fanservice and not canon. | |

Believe it or not, Wolverine. Chris Claremont has said he thought of Logan as being bisexual. He also said he wanted Mystique and Destiny to be a couple, although that one became official once Marvel felt able to do it (during Claremont's original run, Executive Meddling imposed a strict "no gays" rule), Mystique's attempts to resurrect her wife being her major quest on Krakoa. | |

The vain Sunstreaker from the Dreamwave Transformers comics was apparently written as being gay, although (this being a comic aimed at teen fanboys) it was never going to be used in the story itself. Oddly enough, the Ambiguously Gay Tracks was not intended to be gay. What made this a Squick for many TF fans was that the writers pointed to the bio they wrote for Sunstreaker in More Than Meets The Eye. Read without this information, it makes Sunstreaker sound like a vicious assassin who can't switch off when he's around his allies. The Word of Gay turns it into a description of a creepy Depraved Homosexual. | |

There's been hardly any debate at all since T Campbell said two of the new AEGIS recruits in Fans!! were bisexual. This is probably because there's no shortage of gay and bisexual characters in the rest of the cast. It's also his word that outed Guth, after a half-joking comment followed by an off-panel discussion. | |

Lieutenant Hawke, a supporting character in Star Trek: First Contact is revealed to be gay in the book Rogue by Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels. Though he does get his own book later on, this fits because there's no hint of his sexual orientation during the movie or any reference to the fact that he's married to a male Trill. Part of the reason the novel made him gay was that there were plans to make him the first mentioned gay character in Star Trek, but those plans were scrapped early in production. | |

James Toranaga of Touch (2017) has been explicitly confirmed to be gay by the author. It is unlikely, however, that his sexuality will be kept ambiguous for very long in-story, as the work spends a lot of its time dealing with the ways in which James' experience of molestation complicates the feelings he has towards his developing orientation. | |

The author of The Wicked Years has said that he purposely hinted on "something" involving Galinda and Elphaba. What this "something" is, he said he "doesn't know". The musical adaptation is more clean cut about this, with many actors saying that this was a romance play and it even being said that some of the songs were based off cliche love lyrics. Gregory eventually said directly that Glinda and Elphaba had a love affair. | |

He's also portrayed in a very campy manner, between his effeminate mannerisms and his cartoonish volume of luggage that would make Princess Vespa blush. It's strongly implied, but never outright stated that he's gay or attracted to men, with said character only being confirmed as gay in external interviews. His actor also did not initially know that the character was supposed to be gay until partway through production. | |

Downplayed example in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse when co-director Peter Ramsey was asked about the popular fan theory that the film's Aunt May and Dr. Olivia Octavius are ex-lovers, since their mainstream-comic counterparts dated for a time, and in the film Aunt May immediately recognises Dr. Octopus and calls her "Liv" when she turns up to attack the assembled Spider-People at May's house.

Revolutionary Girl Utena: Chiho Saito (the mangaka and one of the writers) has said that people should consider Utena and Anthy to be like a married couple. This becomes especially noteworthy when you consider that Saito had originally been against the idea of Anthy/Utena being a romantic couple. Shiori is hinted to be secretly in love with Juri, though she's in heavy denial over it for a number of reasons. This was ultimately confirmed by Ikuhara in one of the booklets that came with Right Stuf's re-release of the series. |

Several writers have said that they consider Wonder Woman to be bisexual, though it's never been explicitly stated in a storynote The closest, prior to Rebirth being a Justice League Task Force story in which she is directly asked about how relationships work on Themiscara, and replies "All I'll say is, we don't call it Paradise Island for nothing.".In fact, her sexuality is usually treated as an Elephant in the Living Room, for she lived on an island with no men for most of her life. Made canon as of DC Rebirth. | |

Archie Comics: Since the series' inception, Jughead had always been portrayed as the Straight Man counterpart to Archie's Love Makes You Crazy-style heterosexual hijinx, up to and including being far more interested in food than in girls and actively avoiding any attempt by ladies to pair up with him. As the years went on, this characterisation came to be scrutinised in many different ways: was Jughead a misogynist for 'not liking women'? Or was he gay, or even asexual? Even after the introduction of the franchise's first officially gay character in Kevin, Jughead remained ambiguous. In the 2015 revival, it was finally confirmed in text: Jughead is uninterested in romantic relationships because he is asexual, and while it's not stated explicitly, he also very clearly considers himself aromantic as well. | |

The Adventure Zone: This was the case for a while when Justin McElroy originally said that his character, Taako, was gay, but that he didn't feel comfortable making it explicitly canon, as the characters are often farcical and he didn't want to accidentally make Taako into an offensive stereotype. However, this began to change with episode 50, which saw Taako going on a date with Kravitz, a (male) Grim Reaper with whom he'd had light Ship Tease in an earlier arc, and his sexuality has continued to receive quiet nods within canon since then. Sloane and Hurley, two major characters from the "Petals to the Metal" arc, were confirmed to be a romantic couple despite it not being explicit within canon. The podcast has since moved away from this method of writing LGBT characters and has begun including more unambiguously canon representation. |

Funnily, Billy Dee Williams reached a similar conclusion in 2013, where he suggested that Lando was wearing Han's clothes in a scene from The Empire Strikes Back because he'd put them on in the dark after a one-night stand. | |

Invisible Kid, from the "Reboot" continuity of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Element Lad in the Oneboot was the inverse of this trope — his switch-hitting was an Ascended Fanon after years of rampant fan speculation based entirely (at first) on his pink costume. Fan speculation probably dates back to the 1975 APA article by Jim Shooter where he says that Element Lad might be gay. | |

Theo in The Haunting of Hill House is as ambiguously gay as her film counterpart, if not more so. Among other things, the book goes out of its way to avoid clarifying the gender of her lover back in the city, to the point that the omission itself speaks volumes. However, author Shirley Jackson's copious notes during her writing process state Theo was definitely a lesbian, but that Jackson deliberately kept the matter uncertain to give Theo's interactions with Eleanor more tension, since the reader would never know if there was an element of sexual pursuit. | |

Sulu in Star Trek Beyond, as a tribute to his original actor George Takeinote Though ironically, Takei wasn't actually a fan of this change to the character. He has a husband and a daughter, but his appearance with them onscreen is only seconds long and his interaction with his husband is so chaste that the nature of their relationship could easily be interpreted as brothers, and it isn't explicitly stated that they're married in dialogue. His sexual orientation is really only confirmed in publicity for the film. | |

Ghostbusters (2016) cast the openly gay Kate McKinnon as Dr. Jillian Holtzmann, and when asked about it in an interview the director subtly confirmed that the character was also a lesbian and implied that they may have had studio issues with portraying it more openly. It's pretty obvious in the film itself, though, as she's introduced hitting on Dr. Erin Gilbert and spends the majority of her interactions flirting with her (and to a lesser extent the other Ghostbusters). A deleted scene has Holtzmann proudly declare that she and Erin are dating, and when Erin denies it, she's visibly disappointed. | |

Pokémon Reset Bloodlines mentioned in a AN that Melissa, the character of the day who beat Gary in Pokémon: The Series's canonical Indigo League, is a trans woman. Given the minorness of the character in the story overall, exploring this in-story would have been rather random. note This serves as an in-universe explanation for why she looks androgynous; in the original anime, this was instead a case of She's a Man in Japan. | |

California Diaries has Ducky, who at best is Ambiguously Gay throughout the series (he shows no interest in dating girls, his female friends are all thirteen years old and platonic, and at one point he borrows a bunch of books by famous LGBT authors) but ghost-writer Peter Lerangis confirmed in response to a fan on Twitter that Ducky was gay. | |

The author of Megatokyo infamously said one of the regular characters (without saying which) was gay. Just who has sparked enough debate to become a Running Gag on the forums. The most popular theory says that it's Sayuri. | |

Jennifer's Body: Megan Fox revealed in a later interview that she played the title character as a closeted lesbian. In the film itself, Jennifer's relationship with the Final Girl Needy is portrayed as filled with Homoerotic Subtext (including a very lengthy make-out session), but how much of this is Jennifer and how much is her Demonic Possession is never spelled out. | |

Hercules Grytpype-Thynne of The Goon Show. It was never mentioned on air because being gay was illegal in Britain in the 1950s, although Peter Sellers often played him as very camp. He was "outed" in the official biography in the first volume of Goon Show Scripts, c. 1972. | |

Deadpool faces this controversy. The writer for one of his solo series, Gerry Duggan, has openly stated that Deadpool is pansexual, then adds that he sees Deadpool as "Ready & willing to do anything with a pulse." Then he mentions tweeting and keeping people up to date on Deadpool's "omnisexual exploits." Original co-creator Fabian Nicieza states Deadpool's sexuality changes with his brain, mentioning that due to the constant erratic state his mind is in, Deadpool is, or likes whatever his brain tells him he does in that particular moment, then that moment passes. Despite these statements by two different writers, many fans doubt the sincerity of them because Deadpool has only ever been shown with women. There's definitely a lot of subtext in Cable & Deadpool. For that matter, there's a lot of text. There's also a popular rumor that Fabian Nicieza (who wrote 48 out of the 50 issues) referred to it as a romance story, but no actual proof was ever given to it. Nicieza, though, was asked in an interview once who would he rather have as a roommate, Cable or Deadpool. His answer? Cable, because Deadpool would try to spoon him. Also, Deadpool's feelings toward Spider-Man seem more than platonic. Spider-Man was on his top five free pass list that his wife signed. There are variant covers depicted him trying to kiss Spider-Man. At one point, Spider-Man was rocking his black suit, and in a more merciless mood, and Deadpool replies that he's terrified and turned-on by Spider-Man. Then the final chapter, Spider-Man hugs Deadpool swearing to repay him for a sacrifice made for him. Deadpool ruins the moment with a sexual comment, then it's hinted he also got too excited during the hug. |

Loki: Agent of Asgard writer Al Ewing stated what The Mighty Thor fans always suspected: Loki is bisexual and at least the young one is also genderqueer (this occasionally causes some pronoun confusion on this very wiki, as editors of Ewing's Loki series tend to refer to young Loki as they (Gender-Inclusive Writing purposes and also because that Loki tends to not be one of anything) while others go with previous Loki's he). A 2022 Marvel's Voices story reconfirms this and introduces several of Loki's male exes. | |
