Linda Carter demonstrated her superhero abilities in real life by shutting down a user who claimed Wonder Woman is “not for lesbians” on social media. According to Variety, between 1976 and 1979, Carter appeared as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in three seasons of the superhero TV series, which aired on ABC and CBS.
The actor celebrated the start of Pride Month by posting ‘Wonder Woman’ fan art in front of rainbow colors, along with the caption, “Happy Pride!” “I’m really looking forward to celebrating with all of my LGBTQIA+ friends and supporters.”
One Twitter user wrote to Carter, “Wonder Woman is not a superhero for gays,” who retorted with the following statement: “You’re right. She’s a superhero for bisexuals!”
Carter later explained, “I didn’t write Wonder Woman, but if you want to argue that she’s not a queer or trans icon in some way, you’re not paying attention.”
He continued, “Every time someone comes up to me and says that Wonder Woman helped them during their lockdown, it reminds me how special the role is.”
The user expressed his displeasure over Carter’s comment by writing to the actor on Twitter, “Why did you use Wonder Woman to promote gays, lesbians [and bisexuals?] You were my hero my whole life! How disappointed you are!”
Carter later shared a photo of him making his fist with the caption, “Love seeing all the love from LGBTQ+ fans today! Now here’s one I call ‘ready to fight your gay kins’ am.”
The actress recently returned to the ‘Wonder Woman’ franchise with a cameo role opposite Gal Gadot in ‘Wonder Woman’ 1984. Carter featured as Asteria, a legendary Amazon warrior, in the film’s final credits sequence. There’s no word on whether or not Carter will play a bigger role in ‘Wonder Woman 3’.
