Deadpool has, over the years, pretty much crushed on nearly every superhero he's ever come in contact with. He's flirted with Thor at every god given opportunity, has always had more than just brotherly feelings towards Spider-Man, and has fantasized about rubbing lotion on Cable more than once.

But, for a long time, the question of Wade's sexuality was never really answered, no matter how many times fans would bombarded the writers and artists.

That changed in 2013 when the Deadpool annual seemed to affirm that Deadpool was part of the LGBT* community. When asked on Twitter after the book's release, writer Gerry Duggan said that he considers Wade "to be ready & willing to do anything with a pulse."

This would be backed up two years later by co-creator Fabian Nicieza who alluded to Deadpool's sexuality being in a constant state of flux.

Add into that mix that Ryan Reynolds said in an interview with Variety when asked about Deadpool's pansexuality "I love that about Deadpool, I love that he can break any boundary... I certainly wouldn’t be the guy standing in the way of that (Deadpool having a boyfriend in future films) That would be great." and you can pretty much take it as read that Wade Wilson is a proud member of the LGBTQ community.
