“I don’t see any reason why people thought it was different on TV,” commented Tom Payne on the subject, practically confirming that the character is gay. “That's one of the things I like most about the way Robert Kirkman writes. Of course he's gay and he's a tough guy, why wouldn't he be?”
The chapter “Sing Me a Song” (7×07), penultimate in the series this year, will air on December 04th.
