The sexuality of fan favorite Daryl Dixon (played by Norman Reedus) has long been a source of speculation for Walking Dead fans, and in an interview with comicbook.com, series creator Robert Kirkman addressed the question directly. When asked whether Daryl's being homosexual was a possibility they had considered, Kirkman said, “All I can say is that it’s been discussed. We have very specific ideas about Daryl’s sexuality (or the seeming lack thereof), and if there’s ever a quiet period in the show where he’s not consistently distracted by crossbowing … we’ll tackle it in the show.” The interviewer followed up by asking whether AMC would be okay with Daryl being gay, to which Kirkman responded, “For the record, they absolutely would.” Judging by the season-five trailer there aren't a lot of quiet periods in our future (couldn't they have addressed this when we were hanging out at that damn farmhouse?), but hey, you never know.
It’s not trash, it’s a good show. :\
It’s a flow. It’s not an each-episode-is-it’s-own-show type of show.
Don’t forget...she was busy smothering Judith when Carol came upon the girls. and knifing little rabbits. ugh
laughing hard!
You’re still here?!
Well, who in the heck watches some random episode from a choice of FOUR SEASONS of a show?? Huh??
Of course it didn’t make sense to him.
Ok GeronL, you know that I like you fine. But you’ve come and commented on the one episode or partial episode that you saw. Now you’re done, you’ve expressed total disinterest in the rest of the show....so....bye! Catch you on other posts. :)
But they weren’t openly declaring it & demanding we approve.
I’ve never watched it. Just interested in what Freepers have to say about the topic.
ATTENTION GAY ACTIVISTS!
All of the zombies on the program are gay. They are known as
Walking Deadocrats. Now, go bother the cast of The View.
I got the impression that his brother Merle was possibly Daryl’s molester when they were growing up. I never had the sense that he was homosexual, just perhaps shamed by his upbringing. I don’t see him as a would be rapist like the last gang he ran around with after losing Beth. I think he and Carol could have been interested in each other had the whole prison life worked out better. At this point, I think they ALL have way more on their minds than sex!
I find it pretty ridiculous how some people treat their favorite shows like their religion or something and get very defensive.
“You shouldn’t comment on my thread!”
blah blah blah

But GeronL, all you’re doing is being unpleasant and argumentative, and that’s not like you.
It’s the narrow mind that has a problem with it. So they’re gay, how does that hurt you? It doesn’t. So why should it bother you? It shouldn’t. There’s all kind of perverts, weirdos, freaks and flakes out there. The only ones anybody ever seems to whine about are the gays. You probably know some seriously perverted people, there’s enough fetishists in this world you’ll probably a few, but they don’t bother you, because they do their fetish with members of the opposite sex. Really ask yourself, who’s more perverted David Carradine or Michael Sam? I know how I vote, gaspers are whackos.
They’re not demanding you approve. They’re demanding you realize they’re human beings.
All I did was make a comment about a show I watched.
“Sacrilege!” “Outlander!” “Infidel!” “Put the scarlet letter on him!”
I know! The actors are so invested in their characters. My favorite guest of all is Yvette Nicole Brown. The girl actually takes notes, LOL.
"“Maggie wouldn’t do that” “I feel that Glen would react differently...” or whatever. Let me tell ya, Maggie (and all the others) will do whatever the writers say she’ll do. Now Daryl being gay? Not even the writers can make that true!!!! No way honey!"
Nope, can't see it, can't imagine it. Norman Reedus says he hopes Daryl will have a, um...shall we say, group encounter...with Carol and Beth.
Outlander. You just reminded me that I forgot to watch that last night. Good thing it will be rerun at least 46 times this week.
I think I made myself really clear that it’s the “in your face” activities, shoving homosexuality into places and faces and lifestyles.
And as for David Carradine vs Michael Sam, I’m at a disadvantage because I don’t know much, if anything about either one.
But I do know there’s parades dedicated to homosexuality. Naked and obscene displays in SF and other places (not as bad as SF at ALL though)
It doesn’t mean I hate homesexuals, I deplore their obscene behavior.
Get off your high horse. You’re not even making the point at all.
