Overwatchhas always had a diverse cast of characters that bring life000 Archivescolor to the otherwise monochrome and monotonous first-person shooter genre. It was only a matter of time before one of its lovable characters was revealed to be queer.
Tracer, the speedy, time-shifting gunner who is always a nuisance to enemies, has a story in the latest digital Overwatchcomic, "Reflections," which shows the hero kissing another woman -- Emily.
The Overwatchcomics don't technically have any bearing on the game itself, but provide all the backstory that makes the games' playable heroes so interesting.

She even attends a Christmas gathering held by Winston -- the hyper-intelligent gorilla hero -- later in the comic.
Blizzard revealed to Kotakuin November that one of the characters in Overwatchidentified as gay but didn't say which one, leaving fans wondering. Overwatchartist Rachel Day said the team is purposefully making the game diverse.

"We’re looking globally, we’re looking for all different kinds of people, different body types, all of that. Maybe we’re not telling any romantic stories at the moment, but it’s a possibility for the future for sure. I don’t think that we’d want to exclude anybody from that kind of interaction."
Tracer is a bold pick -- she's the most prominent character in the game, starring on the game's box art, leading players through the tutorial at the beginning of the game, and featured on the logo of the upcoming OverwatchLeague -- Blizzard's big push into Overwatchesports.
Let the fan fictions begin.
