Captain america is gay
Disclaimer: This essay is highly opinionated, if you’re easily offended by people shipping two fictional characters of the matching gender, then skip this one buddy, this isn’t for you.
Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes complete not need any introduction. Even for people with no knowledge of Marvel movies, Captain America and the Winter Soldier are names that we own seen floating around on every fandom website ever; in fact, these two figures are almost always in the top 10 list of most shipped pairs on Tumblr and several fanfiction sites. Portrayed by the hunkiest of hunks, Chris Evans, and the ever so sultry Sebastian Stan, Steve and Bucky’s relationship has been a aim of major controversial discourse in the Marvel fandom ever since the first Captain America clip dropped in 2011. It’s only increased tenfold after Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released back in 2014.
The quarrel is about whether the super-soldiers are just two lads being dudebro pals together or if there is definite homoerotic tension brewing between the two. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the Captain America fandom is straight men who are seemingly incapable of sympathetic queercodes, and mo
Marvel Reveals First Lgbtq+ ‘Captain America’ in New Comic Series
Marvel announced that the first gay Captain America in the superhero’s 80-year history will be revealed in an upcoming issue.
In the limited series The Joined States of Captain America, Steve Rogers (the original Captain America) and other characters who donned the costume travel on a highway trip across the U.S. to locate his stolen shield. Along the way, they encounter “everyday people from all walks of animation who’ve taken up the mantle of Captain America to defend their communities,” Marvel said.
One of those everyday people is the fresh character Aaron Fischer, a.k.a. Captain America of the Railways, “a fearless teen who stepped up to protect fellow runaways and the unhoused.” Fischer will also become the first LGBTQ+ nature in the comics’ history to transport the mantle of Captain America.
The limited series’ artist Jan Bazaldua said in a statement, “As a transgender person, I am content to be qualified to present an openly gay person who admires Captain America and fights against evil to help those who are almost imperceptible to society. While I was drawing him, I

Marvel Comics has unveiled a first look at a novel Captain America.
The new nature, Aaron Fischer, represents the first LGBTQ character to pick up Cap’s shield in the comic’s 80-year history.
Fischer is described as “the Captain America of the Railways — a fearless teen who stepped up to protect fellow runaways and the unhoused. Marvel Comics is pleased to honor Pride Month with the rise of this new LGBTQ+ hero.”
The limited series is titled The United States of Captain America and follows “Steve Rogers teaming up with Captain Americas of the past — Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson and John Walker — on a road trip across America to find his stolen shield. Throughout the group’s journey, they’ll find everyday people from all walks of life who’ve taken up the mantle of Captain America to defend their communities.” The series is written by Christopher Cantwell with art by Dale Eaglesham.
Here are a few more looks at the character:
“Aaron is inspired by heroes of the queer community: activists, leaders and everyday folks pushing for a better
Hey, who's the new guy?Marvel
Captain America never meant anything to me, until now.
The idea has always seemed absurd: He’s a military jock who represents a racist country ruled by the rich — and we’re supposed to root for him? The character turns eighty years elderly this year, and as far as I was concerned he’s overstayed his welcome.
So imagine my surprise when I found myself looking forward to a recent Captain America issue, thanks to a new approach to the character: No longer a creaky old symbol of America’s imagined might, The United States of Captain America introduces a legion of local heroes across the country, each one heroes in their own communities.
One Captain America is a homeless same-sex attracted teen named Aaron Fischer; another is a Filipino American college student named Ari Agbayani; another is a Black woman named Nichelle Wright. Rather than pretending that America is a blond chisel-jawed liberator, these Captains show a multiplicity of backgrounds, beliefs, and first-hand experiences of injustice. Opening the issue, the first image my eyes landed on was of Rosa Parks’ dress next to Harvey Milk’s bullhorn.
To my further delight, Issue #1 is written by Josh Truji
