#GiveCaptainAmerica a boyfriend trends on Twitter

As one of America's quintessential superheroes, Captain America should probably be reflective of the beliefs of the American people and that is exactly what appears to be happening with the latest topic to trend on Twitter, #GiveCaptainAmericaaBoyfriend.

Following in the footsteps of the recent #GiveElsaaGirlfriend campaign, Twitter users have decided that Captain America needs a boyfriend as well. Many have stated that queer people should have a superhero to look up to and it would fly in the face of the heteronormative assumption that everyone is straight.

There are detractors, however, and the hashtag has spawned numerous counterarguments against having Captain America become a gay character. Many tweets have pointed out that Captain America has not been established as a gay character within the canon of the films or comics and his being gay would undermine his established relationship with Margaret "Peggy" Carter,  who was played by  Hayley Atwell in the films.

 

 

Well we've heard from the masses, now let's wait for what Chris Evans has to say.
