She would defend her freedom to choose, no matter where nature placed her in the spectrum."[134] Later on Twitter, he confirmed that she is indeed gay.[135] Additionally, Cosima did label herself as a lesbian when she accidentally came out while giving a speech as her sister Alison.

Gail PeckCharlotte SullivanRookie BlueGail is a police officer. Although in the first three seasons she has a history with men, in season 4 she comes out to herself after she meets forensic pathologist Holly Stewart. She told a fellow officer that being with Holly made her feel different and better (s5, ep.3). After distance between them due to a misunderstanding, Gail told Holly that she didn't want to end up a sad, sorry woman who had thrown away the most wonderful person she had ever met (s5, ep.7). She told another fellow officer that going to the Peck family dinner was supposed to be her first gathering with them as a lesbian, and had hoped it would have been with Holly (s5, ep.9). Their relationship ends when Gail forgoes moving to America with Holly because of her intent to become the adoptive parent of an orphaned girl (s5, ep.11). Gail later meets detective Frankie Anderson and becomes involved with her (season 6).
(Showrunner Tassie Cameron, Charlotte Sullivan, and exec producer Noelle Carbone identified Gail as being lesbian.[142][143][144] Had the series been renewed for a seventh season, Gail and Holly would have been reunited.[145])

However, Sharon accepts him completely and makes it clear to him. He later comes out to the Major Crimes squad near the beginning of season 3 to a complete lack of surprise and becomes open afterwards, trying and failing to date a coworker. In season 4, while trying to identify murder victim Mariana Wallace, Rusty meets her brother Gustavo "Gus" Wallace who becomes romantically interested in him. After initially resisting Gus' advances due to distance and his fears of Gus no longer liking him if they date, Rusty enters into a relationship with Gus. Despite this, Rusty is shown to be uncomfortable with being gay, shying away from holding Gus' hand in public which causes them some problems. In "Off the Wagon", Rusty tells Gus he loves him for the first time and intends to spend his life with Gus, something that Gus reciprocates.[Citation needed:July 2019]

Paul NaritaChristopher SeanDays of Our LivesThe first love of long-time gay character Sonny Kiriakis (one half of Days's gay "super-couple" Will and Sonny, the first married gay couple on a US daytime soap) and a successful professional baseball player, Paul came to Salem in November, 2014. He was immediately loved by fans and became part of a frontburner storyline that included his coming out, discovering that he is the son of John Black (Days of Our Lives) (an iconic long-term character) and a love triangle between him, Sonny and Will Horton, which also involved the newly introduced fourth gay character on the show, Derrick. Unfortunately, since head writers Christopher Whitesell and Gary Tomlin were replaced by Josh Griffith and Dena Higley, with their material starting to air in mid-August, Paul has appeared only a handful of times, and the frontburner storyline involving him, Sonny, Will and Derrick was axed by the new regime, which involved the killing of the gay legacy character Will, which led to a huge backlash from fans right before the show's 50th anniversary.[Citation needed:July 2019]
