Latinx x Superhero x Queer
Two films are currently playing in theaters with latinx LGBT representation.
The reboot of the ‘90s children’s TV show Power Rangers is the first big-budget superhero movie to feature an LGBT protagonist.
During Power Rangers’ second act, there’s a scene in which the titular heroes learn that the Yellow Ranger, Trini (portrayed by Mexican American singer Becky G.), is coming to terms with her sexual orientation, with one character assuming she’s having “boyfriend problems,” and soon realizing
that perhaps she’s actually having “girlfriend problems.”
A young Rictor makes his debut in the film “Logan”. Portrayed by Latino actor Jayson Genao, Rictor is a mutant child experiment of Dr. Zander Rice
from Transigen lab escapes Transigen lab along with other children. He helps led the group across the border of Mexico where there is a safe haven for mutant kind.
The Rictor of Logan shares the same seismic powers as his comic book counterpart. His origin is different, but the idea of him being a young mutant used for sinister purposes is still present.
In X-Factor comic #45, in 2009, Rictor kissed Shatterstar. The two character first on-panel kiss became the first male-male kiss between two mainstream male superheroes in mainstream Marvel comic book history.
Fans probably shouldn’t expect the young actor from Logan to reprise his role in the X-Force movie, but it’s one more X-Force character in the film universe’s continuity.

writeblr asking for help
does anyone have a tip on how to write LGBT characters? like it’s not a gay book but the main character has a silent crush on their best friend while they go on an adventure. anyone have any tips?
Alright so I’m going to link some stuff and then pose a few questions that I think are important for the character, so hopefully, something out of it helps. Whether or not this is helpful also depends where you are in your story and what you’ve developed, I’m trying my best not to assume anything though!
Tips on Writing LGBT Characters
A Primer on How to Write Queer Characters (video)
A post on labeling (kinda ranty but honestly makes good points imo)
Writing With Color’s Recommendations (LGBTQ stuff is at the bottom)Questions:
- Does your character know their sexuality?
- Are they in a questioning stage? (first question and this can coincide)
- Are they out of the closet? If so, to who?
- Is their crush straight, questioning, and/or LGBT?
- Does their crush know they are LGBT?
- Are they raised or around people who are pro-LGBT, anti-LGBT, or both?
- Is anyone else in the story LGBT?
- What is society’s view of LGBT people?
- What are the rights granted to LGBT people?
So I think those questions can help decide the kind of interactions the main character has with their crush. I know a lot of people will probably say you can write LGBT characters the way you write anyone else - and that’s true - but crushes can definitely be of a different dynamic.
The questions matter because an out queer person and a closeted queer person act differently. The same with someone who knows they’re LGBT, and someone just questioning/realizing it. Their behavior around their crush will vary depending on who they’re with, and the level of comfort with their sexuality will vary as well. Sexuality is a personal journey and it can be hard to figure out, or easy for some, or just a mess for others.
Personal experiences and tips below the cut.
