Dear Storytellers: Gay Characters Aren’t Going to Show Up ‘Organically’ In Your Stories, You Have to Put Them There
We're nowhere to be found in the Star Trek movies, or the Star Wars movies, or Jurassic Park, or The Fast & The Furious. To the best of my knowledge we're not in Mission: Impossible, or Planet of the Apes, or Die Hard, or The Dark Knight, or the Transformers movies. We're not in Lord of the Rings, despite how it may come across, and we're not obviously in Harry Potter, though the author says we're there. We're not in Spider-Man, and somehow we're not even in the X-Men movies, though they are at least partly about us. We might be in The Need Games.
We are in James Bond. Of all the huge movie franchises, that's the one that's really taken the time to submit a handful of gay or multi-attracted characters in its fifty year history; but as damaged killers, and as uniquely challenging intimate conquests.

Happy Pride Month! As we begin to celebrate the history and culture of the LGBTQ+ people, I thought it would be fascinating to look at what the group has accomplished already in 2020, through the mediums of TV and production. Though coronavirus has prevented many inclusive films from making it to theaters this year, there are still plenty that did obtain there before the world went on lockdown, and many more that possess released on streaming.

Of course, I should note that this is not, by any means, a comprehensive list of every clip or TV series released this year that touches on any of these issues – this is merely a discussion of some especially significant incidents spanning the course of the past several months, which I feel display a fairly precise depiction of the year’s many ups and downs as a whole.

In the early 1990s, Marvel Comics entered a recent era of representation thanks to Christian Cooper, the publisher's first openly homosexual writer and editor. During his tenure at the company, he created paranormal investigator Victoria Montesi (Marvel's first openly lesbian character) and served as associate editor on the history-making Alpha Flight #106, in which Northstar (a hero created by the iconic X-Men duo of Chris Claremont and John Byrne) came out as gay.
"It had to be a confession devoid of any expression of romance or sexuality, like a utterance of fact: 'I am gay,'" Cooper recently told Yahoo! Entertainment, explaining how the moment wasn't allowed to be linked to anything romantic or intimate. "Even after that, they clamped us down. Someone decided, 'Let's do a Northstar limited series where he can't talk about the fact that he's gay.' Which they did and everyone roundly panned it, because it made no sense!"
Two decades later and Northstar married his boyfriend Kyle Jinadu in a same-sex wedding that was a widely publicized event for Marvel — an event proudly promoted on the cover of Astonishing X-Men #51. This almost certainly could not have been possible without
