Walking dead jesus gay

“The Walking Dead” killed off yet another character on its midseason finale on Sunday with Jesus (Tom Payne) dying after a zombie battle.

“[Jesus’ sexuality] was just one scene with Lauren in season seven. The right people picked up on it; they did recognize it. But you can find people who still don’t realize Jesus was gay,” Payne, who identifies as straight, says.“I think they could hold been a bit more up front about that. While you’ve lost Jesus, you still have Aaron and Tara (Alanna Masterson), and now Magna (Nadia Hilker) and Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), so there’s still representation on the display. But it’s a shame. He was such a badass character.”

Payne says he thought Jesus’ character as a whole was underused in the series.

When The Walking Dead revealed that Paul Monroe, the fan-favorite character nicknamed “Jesus” for his long hair and beard, was same-sex attracted, many fans wondered how long it would be before a religious person or group registered their offense.We even recently speculated that AMC might be reluctant to depict a character named Jesus on TV, for fear of alienating potential viewers if the character got up to anything that might offend Christians.It didn’t seize long: in this week’s “Letter Hacks” column, Kirkman received two very distinct letters from fans regarding Jesus’s sexuality. One was from a Christian reader concerned that making Jesus gay was a subtle “jab” at people of faith, and one was from a reader grateful for the thoughtful depiction of Jesus as just another character, doing his thing, up until the moment that his sexuality came up somewhat organically.

Payne said last year that he saw no reason why his on-screen Jesus wouldn't be gay, as he is in the comics, and in tonight's episode "The Other Side," he officially became the show's third major gay character.
Between the fact that Jesus is an elusive and taciturn guy to initiate with, and the evidence that these characters are living in fear of a fascist dictator during a zombie apocalypse, it's no surprise that it took a while for the subject to advance up. But Jesus knows who he is – he's one of the more self-possessed characters in the cast – and there is no dramatic "coming out" moment here, during a moment of bonding between Jesus and Maggie.
