TheGuardians of the Galaxycomic just revealed its hero’s sexuality.
In the latest issue of the comic, Star-Lord, aka Peter Quill, is confirmed as bisexual and polyamorous.
“It’s been over a decade,” Star-Lord tells Aradia and Mors of his time on Morinus. “Time to accept the truth, Aradia. Morinus is my home.”

“You’re my home,” he adds.
The trio are then shown in a bath together, as Star-Lord says, “Thanks for accepting me, guys.”
“Congratulations, Peter Quill,” Mors says. “The you-that-was is over.”
“You’re newborn,” he adds. “And ready to learn our ways.”
The relationship reportedly lasts for more than 100 years, according toScreen Rant.
Whether or not Star-Lord’s sexuality will be addressed in the upcomingGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3remains unknown.
While there have been several members of the LGBTQ community portrayed in the Marvel comics, representation has lacked in their on-screen counterparts.
For instance,Tessa Thompson’sThor: Ragnarokcharacter, Valkyrie, is a bisexual woman in the comics, “her sexuality isn’t explicitly addressed” in the movie,the actress said in 2017.
InAvengers: Endgame,co-director Joe Russoplayed the first gay character to appear in an MCU movie, though he wasn’t a superhero and only appeared in a brief scene.
An openly gay character is set to appear in the upcomingEternalsmovie, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said last year.
“He’s married, he’s got a family. And that is just part of who he is,” Feige said of the still unnamed character, speaking withGood Morning Americain August 2019.
