&#;The Flash&#; Star Keiynan Lonsdale Reflects on Coming Out Five Months Ago

Keiynan Lonsdale thought he’d always hide who he really was while working in Hollywood — at least for the next six decades.
“I never had any plans to appear out until I was like in my 80s,” says the year-old Australian actor, who stars as Wally West/Kid Flash on the CW’s The Flash. “Until then I’d just live a nice sad life.”
Those plans changed in May when Lonsdale came out in a revealing Instagram post.
“A couple years ago I was qualified to accept myself, & it saved my life, but now I&#;ve gotten to a modern road block & I feel nice of lost,” he wrote. “I gotta take the next step & actually embrace who I am, which is pretty exciting. Not faking shit anymore, not apologising for falling in cherish with people no matter their gender. I&#;ve become bored of being insecure, ashamed, scared&#;no one should feel appreciate that about themselves, especially when there is so much good life to live.”

Flash Thompson is Gay: A Comprehensive Visual Essay
TRIGGER WARNINGS: alcoholism, abuse, homophobia, terse reference to The Infant Within, which contains pedophilia
Over the last year and half or so, I have read a number of Spider-Man comics and have reached many conclusions about them, but my utmost conclusion is that Flash Thompson is a gay man. It is very difficult for me to label male characters as gay, since we’ve all seen the way fandom can completely brush off women in favor of imagined gay men, but once this plan took hold, it stuck. I do not notice Flash as truly having been intended to be gay since his conception, or even highly coded that way like Kitty Pryde or Johnny Storm. But along the lines of Bobby Drake, I just feel that it would be the last puzzle piece that would make his 50+ years of character development construct sense.
This is not intended as propaganda or a way of seeing inclusion where it doesn’t be, but a simple compilation of evidence.

Flash will probably always be known as something of a sky-high school

Actor Ezra Miller has been cast as the Flash in Warner Brothers’ eponymous movie, which is slated to premiere in That&#;s big news even for those who aren&#;t diehard DC Comics fans, because Ezra Miller is also openly queer, making it the first second a non-heterosexual has played the lead in a superhero movie.
Let&#;s acquire one distinction out of the way: The year-old Miller identifies as homosexual, not gay. Though the word can mean unlike things to different people, it’s often used as an umbrella term to mean “somewhere on the spectrum of sexuality that&#;s not percent straight.” In a interview, Miller told The Advocate “I’m queer&#; I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very alternative sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular.&#;
It may seem ridiculous that we’re talking about this in , when it feels like there is no shortage of openly non-heterosexual actors in Hollywood. But the casting choice of a queer man as the lead in a big-budget superhero, the embodiment of traditional American
