Theo James, co-star of the new film Divergent, spoke in an interview with The Advocate about the rising role of female action stars, such as Tris of Divergent and Katniss from The Hunger Games, as well as the bisexual allegory of Divergent. When asked whether or not he thinks we'll see an LGBT action star in the near future, he took a moment to think the question over before responding:
It's very hard to tell because today there are great shows like Looking, poignant pieces of work that revolve around a central cast of characters that happen to be gay. But I remember when Queer as Folk came out and thinking, Things are changing. Maybe there will be more [shows like this]. And then suddenly there was a drought. Hopefully the day [we have a gay action hero] isn't far away.
