'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 same-sex attracted, 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 reality that Jesus is an elusive and taciturn guy to initiate with, and the fact 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 come 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.

“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 hour, I feel like I belong,” Jesus, real designate Paul Rovia, tells Maggie. “When I was first here, I was never here. I always start it hard getting termination to anyone – neighbors, friends… boyfriends.“
In Robert Kirkman’s comic book series Jesus is canonically gay. 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 , 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 world. 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.
