Beyond its DCYou Campaign, there is a history of LGBTQ+ characters throughout DC’s comics. In honor of Pride Month, as well as the release of Midnighter #1, which is headlined by an out gay superhero, DC All Access put together this brief history of LGBTQ+ characters in DC Comics, hosted by Jase Peeples of The Advocate. Check it out!
