Soldier lets get one thing streaight you are all gay
Soldier 76 and Tracer's sexualities have no purpose in the lore of the game

Which makes the fact that they are gay/lesbian meaningless.
There was absolutely NO intertwining of S76 and Tracer’s sexuality into the lore. The producers of the comic could’ve somehow integrated it better, but no, it’s just spelled out for us on a cake. I find it quite pointless to debate whether a character is linear or not when it really DOES NOT MATTER. For all we understand, Roadhog could be homosexual. Does anyone care? No.
What I’m saying is that this whole debate over whether Soldier should hold been pronounced as homosexual or not is meaningless. Absolutely meaningless. There was no point in it whatsoever.

Eh, Tracer’s has a meaning to it, but Soldier’s doesn’t really do anything for the character, at least in my opinion.

Profile of Lt. Dan Choi
2nd genLGBTQIAmilitaryreligion
At 30, Daniel Choi is still new to many things.
For one thing, there’s life away from the military. There’s the newfound fame surrounding his high-profile activism. And then of course, there’s the undeniable truth of his existence gay.
You may already be familiar with the story of how Choi helped to fetch about the repeal of “Don’t question, don’t tell” (DADT), the U.S. policy that banned openly homosexual individuals from serving in the military. The former lieutenant first rocked the nation on March 20, 2009, when he came out on The Rachel Maddow Show; soon after, he was discharged from the New York Army National Guard under the very policy he was protesting. Later on March 18, 2010, he and fellow gay veteran Captain James Petrangelo II handcuffed themselves to the White Dwelling fence demanding that DADT be repealed. And finally in late 2010, Choi attended the signing of the bill that would erase homosexuality as a cause for dismissal from the army.
For someone so exposed to the limelight when it comes to activism for gay rights, Choi still seems somewhat unadjusted to his new lifestyle as a reputed male lover rights activist. Beneat
Nowadays, as trangender women, we're not just fighting for RED or BLU, or even the Mann Co. itself. We're fighting for something bigger—representation! Every man, gal, and ambiguous mercenary among us deserves to observe themselves in the ranks of our glorious team.
In the heat of battle, when rockets fly and sentries buzz, it's manageable to forget that we're not just soldiers, pyros, or spies. We're people, with our own stories, struggles, and victories.
But when we stand together, no matter who we passion or how we distinguish , we're stronger, fiercer, and more formidable than any enemy could imagine!
We struggle for understanding and accepting each other. It's knowing that whether you're lgbtq+, straight, bi, trans, or anything else under the sun, you're a valuable member of this team
Soldier 76 is gay?

I know I’m slow to this but was Soldier always meant to be gay because I heard some people state they changed his start just to make him gay. If that’s right then that’s the dumbest thing ever. If he was always intended to be gay, then I’m cool with it but wonder why they waited so long to report this.

I heard some people say they changed his origin just to make him gay.
He was never pictured with or mentioned to have a wife, girlfriend or tiny black book of all the women he slept with, so these people are basically Pinocchio.

“Had your homosexuality been disclosed to your recruiter upon application for military service, you would possess been found ineligible for enlistment in the Army.”
With that one phrase on my record, I was outcast and branded.
From 1980 until 1990, approximately 17,000 military personnel were discharged from the military for not being straight. I was one of them. In December 1990, during the last gasp of discharges before Don’t Ask, Don’t Inform (DADT), and shortly before my Army family—my fellow Arabic linguists—shipped to the Gulf, I was thrown out for “Fraudulent Entry.” In a time when we were existence asked to produce certain our experience Insurance and wills were ready in case something happened in combat overseas, I was tossed to the side, my chosen family torn from me.
All because I refused to lie. They asked, I told.
It’s never that straightforward, really, but the end result is the same: rejection and separation.
I was raised the son of a preacher, in a strict religious family. My childhood was built around a animation of serving others through my church. My own dreams, however, revolved around attending West Aim . The Academy looked attractive to me, and not only for the u
