Was castiel gay

A few gay jokes here and there, some silly innuendos. There are many possible reasons Warner Brothers might not want to show these characters kissing. And if Cas was intended to be straight originally, then they wrote S15E18 with the intention of creating a media buzz and no thought as to the tragic repercussions for the character and community.

This plot device is used 11 more times throughout the series, most notably in S8E As the two men glance up and see a bow on the TV screen, Dean and Castiel look up and see it too from the other end of the room. Balthazar outright tells Dean that Cas is in love with him in S6E So how did we get here?

And since this is conjecture, please take my perspective with a grain of salt. In statistics, it takes 3 points of data for something to be considered significant. And in S5E4 he confesses his deepest secret — that he enjoyed being forced to wear pink panties.

In S5E9 we meet two cosplayers dressed as Sam and Dean who seem like normal guy friends, but at the end of the episode they tell Dean they are boyfriends. The majority of the queer and queer coded characters in Supernatural either die instantly, or are villains associated with non-consent Lucifer, Crowley, Alastair, Rowena, Hitler, Sinclair, Dracula, Noah, Chuck, various vampires and demons.

Sam died, Castiel died, and Dean went on to live out his life with Lisa. You see angels dont have emotions. Picture: @misha via Instagram, The CW In 'Despair', Castiel sacrifices his own life to save Dean. But it also creates a sense of disbelief when viewers are confronted with his homosexual tendencies.

Dean and Castiel repeatedly get separated by some plot point or another — Dean dating Lisa, Cas dying, Cas staying in Purgatory, Dean becoming a demon, etc. The first time Dean and Castiel meet, Dean stabs Cas in the heart while staring into his eyes — another romantic metaphor.

From creator Eric Kripke (The Boys), Supernatural premiered on The CW in , back when the network was still known as The WB. So after the episode aired, I went to twitter and saw all the people talking about Castiel telling dean he loves him and stuff and it seemed they were making jokes but now I see even on these forums people talk about it like its real, like they really understood that scene as Castiel having romantic interest in Dean, and I totally dont think thats the case.

Castiel repeatedly sacrifices everything — Heaven, God, everything he knows and has ever believed in, and his own life — all to save Dean. In S7E20, Dean befriends a lesbian named Charlie. There were several moments in the history of Supernatural when romantic plot points involving Dean and Castiel were changed to avoid drawing too much attention to them.

Dean is the opposite of what audiences are used to seeing queer men portrayed as. Dean is unable to go on living after the loss of Castiel and later begs Sam to let him die. Pamela a psychic makes a joke about Dean and Cas having sex before Cas ever appears on screen in S4E1.

This maintains the romantic tension between these two characters without having to devote much screen time to it. Supernatural star confirms that Castiel is gay. This friendship helps Dean feel more comfortable expressing himself, such as in S8E20 when Dean gives Charlie sassy fashion advice, and she in turn hints that Castiel seems like a good match for Dean.

However, this is where studio censorship comes into play. Despite being intensely romantic, Supernatural is far from positive queer representation. If Dean was meant to be heterosexual, then every gay joke made at his expense over those 15 years was purely homophobic. Misha Collins confirms Castiel is gay and in love with Dean in Supernatural.

After my analysis of S15E10, I believe they intended to have it reciprocated and show a gay kiss with Dean. When Eric Kripke first created Supernatural, he wrote 5 seasons. It would also mean that the show absolutely was queerbaiting fans, meaning they added hints and ambiguously romantic plot points just to lead on gay viewers without ever intending to make it canon.

Dean is a famously macho character, but his rugged persona is often implied to be a mask that he wears to hide his insecurities S2E He equates homosexuality to femininity S3E5 and denies his feminine interests out of shame. Why did I get infected? His character on “Supernatural,” the angel Castiel, came out as gay in the sci-fi show’s final season — and famously didn’t last long after that.
