    A recent post from Gail Simone's tumblr makes think she had plans for him to perhaps explore his sexuality/come out had the series gone on...

    For all those who don't want to/can't click the link:

    Ryan, let me love you

    If only we’d had a few more issues…

    I personally would have loved to of seen more gay characters in DC...I wonder with the reboot if they'll follow through. Probably not. This is DC after all...

    Having a girlfriend doesn't undo possibly being gay. Lots of gay guys in the closet have girlfriends. Even have sex with girls. :P

    wouldnt that make him bisexual then?

    either way i have read very little of him but i never got the impression that he might had been gay

    No, it would make him a gay guy in denial. He'd be bisexual if he liked both. It could obviously go either way here, just saying.

    I think you are reading too much into it I didnt look to me at all that he was Gay, and even if he was, why does it even matter now the series was cancelled years ago and Choi was killed also years ago fro practically no reason

    It sounds like humor but with Gail you never really know.

    well he is still not back officially but I doubt that DC makes him gay in the new universe

    not that there is anything wrong with that

    Think she was joking, Simone has been pretty upfront about her ideas and plans on altering characters sexual orientation so anything less than that to me would indicate a joke slash tease. Though in my head canon lots of DC/Marvel characters are secretly gay or bisexual, just makes it a more realistic place for me.

    I dunno...Gail seemed keen to include more gay/bisexual/etc characters and it seemed odd that she picked NOW to joke about it of all times.
