NoScans: New CW Seed cartoon series to feature gay lead character

Comics Alliance is reporting that, after The Vixen, whose most recent iteration is moving from recent animated debut to live action version in Arrow, a new web series featuring a Golden Age hero will launch and also lead to live action

It's Freedom Fighters: The Ray!



Raymond “Ray” Terrill was a reporter who discovered a group of government scientists working on a secret project to turn light into a weapon of mass destruction. But before he could report on his findings, the project head exposed Ray to a “genetic light bomb.” The bomb failed to kill him and instead gifted Ray with light-based powers. With these abilities, Ray realized he could go beyond reporting on injustice – he could take action to help stop it. Calling himself The Ray, he was recruited by Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters to fight violence and oppression wherever it exists.

And it is confirmed that he will be depicted as a gay man too.

Sounds promising!

And they specefy it was show like a normal people, so nothing grand breaking.


BTW the comment on the website you show are disgutting, how can you considere tolerant parent if you ban your kid to wacht a cartoon they like because they have gay couple in it?

They still made an announcement about it, even though the show itself didn't treat it like a big deal.

Furthermore, if the show is anything like Vixen's it's just going to be six five-minute episodes, so that doesn't leave a lot of time to focus on his sexuality. We're probably just going to see that he has a boyfriend or something.

Maybe but I'm still doubt and still hate when they change the oring of a character.

Good rule for life; Never read the comments on a news site or youtube... it will do your blood pressure no good at all.
