Greg Rucka, one of the writers of DC Comics' newly launched "Wonder Woman: Rebirth" series, says the heroine is a lesbian.
Clearly, there have been many, many theories through the years surrounding the the world's most famous female superhero, her Amazonian roots, and her sexuality. Now, Rucka is confirming that that Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, has had sexual and idealistic relationships with women.
"It’s supposed to be paradise," Rucka told Comicosity.com of Wonder Woman's secluded Amazon island home. "You’re supposed to be able to exist happily. You’re supposed to be able — in a context where one can live happily, and part of what an individual needs for that happiness is to possess a partner — to contain a fulfilling, romantic and sexual relationship. And the only options are women."
Of course, it's not as cut and dry as simply calling Wonder Woman a lesbian, the writer expl
So I and $200 million worth of people went to see Wonder Gal this weekend.
I didn’t really say much on social media afterwards. On the one hand, I didn’t want to contribute to hype–I’ve definitely been the victim of a superb movie failing to gather the outrageous expectations. On the other, I had too much to say.
Wonder Woman is not a perfect movie, but it is everything. When she crosses No Man’s Ground, I realized I was seeing, for the first time in life, a woman superhero. On her own, standing up for justice, charging into battle with no fear because it was the right thing to do.
I’ve seen brave women on screen. Subordinate to male superiors, relying on male aid, or working to retain male victims. Always, their relationships with male characters are at the crux of their motivations.
I didn’t say much on social media about Wonder Lady because I don’t grasp how to express how much this movie meant to me.
And that brings me to the subject of Pride month. Did you know June was Pride Month?

Greg Rucka caused a stir in the comic book society this week after revealing that Diana of Themyscira, aka everyone’s favourite corset-wearing, truth-lassoing superhero Wonder Woman, is in fact queer.
Speaking to Comicosity’s Matt Santori-Griffith, Rucka confirmed that as part of the Year One narrative arc currently unfolding in Wonder Woman: Rebirth, Diana will be shown to be romantically and/or sexually attracted to members of the same gender as well as those of the opposite sex. Speaking plainly on the subject for the first time, Rucka says, “Are we saying Diana has been in like and had relationships with other women? As Nicola [Scott] and I approach it, the retort is obviously yes.”
Rucka’s affirmation of the status of Diana’s sexuality simply confirms what many of those already familiar with canon own long since reasoned: that the Amazonian society in which Diana grows up is exclusively calm of women, and so it naturally follows that the vast majority of the romantic and/or sexual feelings Diana and her fellow Amazonian women encounter will be about other women. “When you start to think about giving the concept of Themyscira its due,” Rucka state
Wonder Woman is canonically homosexual, confirms writer Greg Rucka
In a long interview dense with discussion of resourceful intention and identity visibility in media, past and current Wonder Woman penner Greg Rucka confirmed to Comicosity’s Matt Santori-Griffith that in his ongoing move, Diana of Themyscira is queer.
After asking whether Wonder Woman, as Rucka and artist Nicola Scott possess presented her in their Year One story arc was queer, Santori-Griffith clarified, "For the purposes of this conversation, I would define 'queer' as involving, although not necessarily exclusively, romantic and/or sexual interest toward persons of the same gender."
"Then, yes," answered Rucka, simply.
Wonder Woman: Year One is a prolonged gestating passion project between Rucka and Scott, a retelling and recodification of the character’s origin story for the modern reader that has been running in alternating issues of Wonder Woman since June. While the comic has not plainly expounded on the sexual or affectionate lives of Diana or her sister Amazons, it has alluded to them.
Rucka explained to Comicosity that the existence of relationship and intimacy — and all that entails — within Amazonian society is obviou

People throughout the world romance Princess Diana of Themyscira, a.k.a. Wonder Woman. She is strong and gentle, a mentally robust hero who embodies the virtues identified in positive psychologists' Character Strengths & Virtues manual, the CSV (Peterson & Seligman, 2004), as psychologist Mara Wood notes throughout Wonder Woman Psychology: Lassoing the Truth (e.g., Wood, 2017).
Diana exemplifies the virtues of justice, temperance, courage, wisdom and truth, transcendence, and humanity as described in the CSV, along with many linked strengths. In arrange to keep her interesting and to make her resonate with audiences everywhere, storytellers must sometimes walk a nice line when depicting such a paragon of many virtues. Though sometimes they fall short when telling her tales, they've nevertheless managed to keep her appealing enough that she is one of only three superheroes to remain consistently in issue every year since the early Golden Age of Comics (the other two being Superman and Batman). She is a wonder that endures.
Sometimes, though, she is also controversial.
