Xena Warrior Princess Is Officially Coming Out As Gay In The New Series, So The Worst Secret Ever Is Out

(Source) — I am a very different person with a very different world view than my employer on the 100 — and my work on the 100 was to use my skills to bring that vision to life. Xena will be a very different show made for very different reasons. There is no reason to bring back Xena if it is not there for the purpose of fully exploring a relationship that could only be shown subtextually in first-run syndication in the 1990s. It will also express my view of the world — which is only further informed by what is happening right now — and is not too difficult to know what that is if you do some digging.

I didn’t even know that Xena was coming back, but is announcing that she’s gay the worst reveal in history? She wasn’t already out? I learned about lesbianism through Xena. I’d watch that shit when I was, like, eight and think, “That woman is very different than other women.I don’t think guys like having sex with her, and I think that feeling is mutual.” That like of thought certainly could be due to the fact that I thought her and Chyna were the same person, in fact I was pretty shocked to learn that Chyna didn’t play her just now, but I was positive that Xena was a lesbian and I didn’t even really know what a lesbian was. Announcing that she’s a lesbian is like a male figure skater calling a press conference that resembles “The Decision” to announce that he’s gay. We know, dude. We know because we have eyes, ears, and brains.
