Wentworth Miller And Russell Tovey Share Superhero Kiss On “The Flash”

Queer comics fans have been looking forward to the big Arrowverse crossover this week on the CW, and it didn’t disappoint: Not only did we get introduced to a new gay hero, the Ray (out actor Russell Tovey), we got to see him share a smooch with Wentworth Miller, who plays Captain Cold.

the super friends gather for Barry Allen’s wedding to Iris West. But, predictably, things don’t go smoothly and they get swept up into a battle on Earth X, where the Nazis won WWII.

Tovey’s character, whose real name is Ray Terrell, is a hero on that dystopian world with the ability to manipulate light. He’s openly gay and, in one scene, we even see him wearing a concentration camp uniform with a pink triangle.

, Terrell shared a cute kiss with his partner, Citizen Cold, an alternate-universe version of Wentworth Miller’s Captain Cold who is both gay and a hero. The impact of a kiss between two gay heroes—played by two gay actors—was not missed by Twitter.

Leonard Snart kissed a man (Ray) on screen tonight and I’m shook because not only was it represented by one LGBTQ+ member, Wentworth Miller, but two LGBTQ+, Russell Tovey. Thank you boys ️‍️‍ #CrisisOnEarthX
