'The Walking Dead' Just Confirmed That Jesus Is Gay
Ever since Tom Payne made his The Walking Dead debut a year ago as fan-favorite Jesus, speculation has brewed over how much of his persona from the comic books would be retained – and specifically, whether his sexuality would remain the same. 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 commence with, and the proof 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 reach 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.
During the same conversation, we learn Jesus grew up in a organization home, and has never felt like he belonged anywhere until now. He's always had a tough time getting close to anyone, he says, "neighbors, friends, boyfriend

When The Walking Dead revealed that Paul Monroe, the fan-favorite character nicknamed “Jesus” for his prolonged hair and beard, was gay, 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 grab long: in this week’s “Letter Hacks” column, Kirkman received two very other 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 personality, doing his thing, up until the moment that his sexuality came up somewhat organically.

“The Walking Dead” finally confirmed the character of Jesus’ sexuality on Sunday’s episode.
Hilltop Colony member Jesus (Tom Payne) opened up that he was gay in conversation with Maggie (Lauren Cohan).
“For the first time, I feel appreciate I belong,” Jesus, real identify Paul Rovia, tells Maggie. “When I was first here, I was never here. I always found it hard getting shut to anyone – neighbors, friends… boyfriends.“
In Robert Kirkman’s comic manual series Jesus is canonically homosexual. However, this is the first time Jesus’ sexuality has been mentioned on the show.
Jesus is the sixth gay character on “The Walking Dead.” Tara (Alanna Masterson), Alisha (Juliana Harkavy), Aaron (Ross Marquand), Eric (Jordan Woods-Robinson) and Denise (Meritt Wever) are the show’s other gay characters.
Speaking with TVGuide.com, Payne says he doesn’t think Jesus’ sexuality should be an issue for the other characters on the show.
“It’s the end of the planet. If we really care about what someone’s sexuality is…we’ve got bigger fish to fry,” Payne says.
“The Walking Dead” airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
