QC Open Forum: Is The Flash Too Gay For His Own Good?

If you have seen The Flash you have probably noticed how Grant Gustin’s gay comes shining through. We’re not saying he is gay (we totally are) but there are moments where The Flash just comes off as very gay, loud and proud. Don’t you find odd the lack of chemistry with his leading lady on the show? That’s like awfully suspicious. And there are times when the inflections of his voice or the way he acts sets our gaydar off like a klaxon. Is that because he has trouble with the character or because the melodrama is over the top? Or is it a vestigial trait from when he was on Glee?
There’s no denying that Grant is super charming and his portrayal of Barry Allen as a good-hearted superhero in the learning stages of his career is not grim or tortured, nowadays that is totally refreshing in the genre. One thing that could disprove our theory is that if he were gay, he wouldn’t have choose such awful variation of the suit.
But we can’t help going back and forth with the primary question, is The Flash too gay for his own good? Tell us in the coments!

And there’s another precedent. Back in the 90s, former Flash John Wesley Shipp couldn’t outrun the gay rumors either.

Bonus: Gayness is no strange to the character, even his mother thought he was gay!
