Fans: Give Captain America a boyfriend

By
Published:

For the second time this month, fans are urging Disney to give the star of one of the studio’s films a same-sex partner.

In early May, Twitter users launched the #GiveElsaAGirlfriend campaign, asking the studio behind “Frozen” to consider including a lesbian relationship in the musical’s sequel. Subsequently, the hashtag #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend started trending — this time requesting that the superhero in the Marvel franchise (which is owned by Disney) date someone of his own gender.

Chris Evans, who stars as Captain America, has yet to weigh in on his preference for his character’s romantic future. In “Captain America: Civil War,” Evans’ Steve Rogers has a lackluster relationship with Sharon Carter, played by Emily VanCamp. Previously, Captain America was involved with Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter — but her character then died.

So who does that leave for Evans to woo? According to fans: Bucky Barnes, played by Sebastian Stan, Cap’s loyal best friend who has frequently risked his life for his pal.
