Could speculation about a main “Walking Dead” character being gay be true? Fans of the popular AMC zombie show have long questioned the sexuality of one of the lead characters, Daryl Dixon. Now, creator Robert Kirkman is addressing the rumors after he was directly asked about Daryl’s sexuality in the letter column to “The Walking Dead” #130.
He told ComicBook.com:
“All I can say is that it’s been discussed. We have very specific ideas about Daryl’s sexuality (or the seeming lack thereof), and if there’s ever a quiet period in the show where he’s not consistently distracted by crossbowing… we’ll tackle it in the show.”
Kirkman also reportedly stated that AMC “absolutely would” allow the show’s creators to make Daryl gay.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Would you mind it if Daryl did come out as gay, or would that change your outlook on the show? Let us know in the comments below.
