I based that on the work he had done for the comics and his membership in the Gay/Lesbian Alliance.
Chris Cooper served as co-chair of the board of directors of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in the late ’80s, at a time when GLAAD was still a grass-roots, New York-based group organizing protest rallies against anti-gay violence, actions against the New York Post for its homophobic coverage, and television appearances to correct misleading programming about LGBT lives. His career as a writer and editor carried him to Marvel Comics, where he was assistant editor of the comic book that brought Marvel’s first superhero out of the closet, and the creator of Marvel’s first lesbian central character. He went on to create and write the Internet’s late, lamented LGBT superhero epic QUEER NATION: THE ONLINE GAY COMIC.

The survivor of a racist incident in Central Park, whose viral video of a white woman calling the cops on him has sparked national outrage, is also a pivotal figure in the history of queer representation in comics. A former editor at Marvel Comics, Christian Cooper helped give life to Yoshi Mishima, the first openly homosexual character in the Star Trek universe, PinkNews reports.

Aside from being an avid birdwatcher, Cooper also happens to be a trailblazing queer comic writer. As a former editor for Marvel, he is known as a pioneer in the comic world for creating the character Yoshi Mishima, the first gay male character in a Star Trek comic and the first gay human ever within the Star Trek universe. With Yoshi, Cooper explored themes of discrimination, obviously something he’s no stranger to in his own life. He also has written stories for Ghost Rider and Vengeance comics.
